About

To learn more about the long-term health in patients treated for B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (B-ALL) with Cluster of Differentiation antigen 19 (CD19)

-redirected chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells.

Primary Objective:

To evaluate the feasibility of conducting standardized clinical assessments of pediatric, adolescent and young adult (AYA) B-ALL survivors post CD19-CAR T-cell therapy, treated at multiple institutions, leveraging the St Jude Lifetime Cohort (SJLIFE) clinical and research infrastructure.

Exploratory Objectives:

• To describe the prevalence of persistent and new/late-onset health conditions developing ≥2-years post CD19-CAR T-cell therapy in survivors of pediatric and AYA B-ALL.
• To characterize neurocognitive and neurologic function in survivors ≥2-years post CD19- CAR T-cell therapy.
• To characterize immune health in survivors ≥2-years post CD19-CAR T-cell therapy.
• To characterize functional status in survivors ≥2-years post CD19-CAR T-cell therapy.

Full description

Advances in cancer immunotherapies, including CD19-redirected chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells, are changing the long-term outcome for B-ALL cancer patients.

The late effects of these treatments have not been investigated and the impact of this therapy on survivors' long-term outcomes and overall well-being is unknown.

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of studying late effects following CAR T-cell therapy through a prospective, observational study for children, adolescent, and young adult (AYA) survivors who are ≥2-years post CD19-CAR T-cell infusion. The study will be the first study of late effects following CAR T-cell therapy recruiting B-ALL survivors from across the United States.

Eligible study participants will participate in a comprehensive health assessment. These assessments will include history and physical examination, laboratory studies, a brain MRI, physical performance testing, and neurocognitive testing. The CONQUER study will focus specific attention on data relevant to CD19-CAR T-cell therapy, including immune function.
