Trial summary

Background and Rationale Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies are emerging as a revolutionary treatment for hematological malignancies. However, this treatment carries a non-negligible clinical risk of pulmonary complications, which present as varied syndromes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Early and Late Pulmonary Complications of CAR T-cell Therapy

Background and Rationale Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies are emerging as a revolutionary treatment for hematological malignancies. However, this treatment carries a non-negligible clinical risk of pulmonary complications, which present as varied syndromes. These range from acute disorders, such as Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) with respiratory distress (ARDS), to interstitial lung diseases, as well as opportunistic and community-acquired infections related to treatment-induced immunosuppression. A better understanding of these pulmonary complications is necessary to identify predictive and risk factors. This knowledge is essential to guide the development of potential prevention strategies.

Objectives The primary objective of this study is to describe the early and late pulmonary complications associated with CAR T-cell therapies. The primary endpoint is the incidence and nature of pulmonary complications occurring early (≤30 days post-reinjection) and late (>30 days up to 2 years) after treatment.

Secondary objectives include:

  • Investigating associations between patient characteristics or follow-up data and the onset of complications through exploratory analyses.
  • Describing the prevalence of risk factors.
  • Describing complication rates according to per-procedure data (e.g., pre-CAR-T lymphocyte count, duration of aplasia).
  • Analyzing complication incidence by calendar periods of reinjection to study the evolution of practices.
  • Describing survival curves based on different variables. Methods This is a descriptive, retrospective cohort study. The study will analyze data from all adult patients (expected n=266) who received CAR T-cell therapy at the Hematology Department of Lyon Sud Hospital (CHLS) and who have at least two years of follow-up data collected.

Patient data from January 9, 2017, to January 1, 2025, will be collected from medical records. Statistical analysis will include comparisons of continuous variables (Wilcoxon or Student's t-test) and categorical variables (Chi-squared or Fisher's exact test). Survival will be represented using Kaplan-Meier curves and compared with the Log-Rank test. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models will be used to identify associations, with a Bonferroni correction applied for multiple tests.

Expected Outcomes The findings are expected to help identify predictive factors for pulmonary complications. This may lead to modified recommendations for pre-CAR-T cell assessments and adaptations to patient follow-up protocols.

What is being measured

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

  1. Describe the early and late pulmonary complications associated with CAR T-cell therapies

    incidence and nature of pulmonary complications occurring early (≤30 days post-reinjection) and late (>30 days up to 2 years) after treatment.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 720 after CAR-T cell injection with two pre-specified periods after CAR T-cell infusion: early, Day 0 through Day 30; late, Day 31 through Day 730 (2 years).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pulmonary Complications and CAR-T Cells, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Describe the early and late pulmonary complications associated with CAR T-cell therapies (time frame: Day 0 through Day 720 after CAR-T cell injection with two pre-specified periods after CAR T-cell infusion: early, Day 0 through Day 30; late, Day 31 through Day 730 (2 years).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Aug 2026.
