About this study

Official title: Long Term Follow-Up of Patients Exposed to Lentiviral-Based CAR T-Cell Therapy

Per Health Authorities guidelines for gene therapy medicinal products that utilize integrating vectors (e.g. lentiviral vectors), long term safety and efficacy follow up of treated patients is required. The purpose of this study is to monitor all patients exposed to CAR-T therapied for 15 years following their last CAR-T (e.g. CTL019) infusion to assess the risk of delayed adverse events (AEs), monitor for replication competent lentivirus (RCL) and assess long-term efficacy, including vector persistence.

Read the detailed description

Patients are enrolled following completion or early discontinuation from a Novartis sponsored or supported study of CAR T-Cell treatment. Patients will be followed for 15 years post treatment from the last treatment. They will be monitored for safety and efficacy within the primary treatment protocols for the protocol defined duration. Patients can drop off treatment protocols at any time to enter this long term Follow up study. Patients discontinuing from the primary treatment protocols for any reason will be enrolled in this long term follow up (LTFU). This will allow collecting data on long term safety and efficacy (as applicable) as mandated by the health authorities of all patients treated with CAR-T therapy within the concept of a single protocol.

Collection of such long term effects of CAR-T cell therapy will help to further define the risk-benefit profile of CAR-T Therapies.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of patients with certain events (see description)

    The percentage of pts with listed categories: New secondary malignancies, new serious infection, new incidence of serious neurologic disorder, New incidence or exacerbation of a prior rheumatologic or other autoimmune disorder, New incidence of a hematologic disorder

    Measured: at M3 post treatment, M6, M9, M12 and then, every 6M up to year 5, yearly until year 15.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of patients with detectable CAR transgene levels in peripheral blood by q-PCR at pre- specified time points

    Measured: at M3 post treatment, M6, M9, M12 and every 6M up to year 5, yearly until year 15.

  2. Percentage of patients with detectable RCL by VSV-G

    Measured: at M3 post treatment then M6, M9, M12 and every 6M up to year 5, yearly until year 15

  3. Percentage of patients who relapse or progress among patients who had not relapsed or progressed at study entry/re-entry;Incidence of death

    Measured: at M3 post treatment then M6, M9, M12 and every 6M up to year 5, yearly until year 15.

  4. B- and T- lymphocyte count

    Measured: at M3 post treatment then M6, M9, M12 and every 6M up to year 5, yearly until year 15.

  5. Height and weight, Tanner staging, menstruation status

    Measured: at M3 post treatment then M6, M12 and every year until year 15.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Previously treated CAR-T patients in people with Long Term Safety of Patients Receiving CAR-T in an Eligible Clinical Trial or Managed Access Program, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 120 sites in 23 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 120 sites in United States, Spain, Germany, France, Italy and 18 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Novartis Pharmaceuticals (1-888-669-6682), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients with certain events (see description) (time frame: at M3 post treatment, M6, M9, M12 and then, every 6M up to year 5, yearly until year 15.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
