This study is multicenter, primary data collection, non-interventional registry study to assess long-term safety, secondary malignancy risk, and effectiveness of tisagenlecleucel in patients with B-cell malignancies in a routine clinical practice setting in Korea.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study will inform on long-term real-world safety and effectiveness of tisagenlecleucel. The primary objective is to evaluate the long-term safety and the risk of secondary malignancies in patients with B lymphocyte malignancies treated with tisagenlecleucel in a real-world setting. The main secondary objective is to evaluate the longterm effectiveness of tisagenlecleucel.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia - Overall response rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Up to 15 years post-infusion
The overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of subjects with a best overall disease response of complete response (CR) or Complete remission with incomplete blood count recovery (CRi). For ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia), complete remission is defined as: less than 5% blasts in marrow, less than 1% blasts in blood and no EM disease.
Up to 15 years post-infusion
B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia - Duration of response (DOR)
Time Frame: Up to 15 years post-infusion
Duration of Response (DoR) is defined as the time from first documented evidence of response (the first response prior to confirmation) until time of documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever was first.

Up to 15 years post-infusion
Follicular Lymphoma -Complete response rate (CRR)
Time Frame: Up to 15 years post-infusion
