Study summary

This study will ultimately aim at providing the scientific community with patient-reported health status data that will contribute facilitate decision-makings. Short- and long-term HRQoL and symptoms will be evaluated in a longitudinal fashion over time to improve the understanding of the impact of the disease and CAR-T cell therapy on patients-wellbeing, symptom burden and daily functioning. This study will capture useful information on the impact of treatment toxicity, the burden of procedures on HRQoL outcomes. The planned collection of PRO and physician-reported adverse events ad early time point will help to compare and integrate these two points of view in healthcare assessment.
