About this study
In plain language
This study checks whether CAR T-cell therapy, a treatment that uses immune cells, can be given to people with moderate to severe kidney problems. It is for people with multiple myeloma, leukemia, or lymphoma who get an adjusted dose of chemotherapy before CAR T-cell therapy.
This is a prospective, descriptive study designed to assess the feasibility of administering CAR T therapy among patients with moderate to severe renal impairment using dose adjusted lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Getting chemotherapy to lower immune cell levels before commercial CAR T-cell therapy for multiple myeloma, leukemia, or lymphoma.
- Bone marrow, which makes blood cells, works well enough to receive this chemotherapy.
- Kidney filtering rate is 60 mL/min/1.73 m² or less.
- ECOG score of 0–2: able to care for yourself and be out of bed for more than half the day, though some activities may be limited.
Who can't join
- Certain disorders of the brain or spinal cord.
- An active infection that is not controlled, or another illness that the study doctor thinks could interfere with the study.
- Taking steroid medicine that affects the whole body at more than 20 mg of prednisone per day, or an equal dose of another steroid, within 72 hours of CAR T-cell treatment.
