INfections in Patients Treated With CAR-T (IN-CART)

17 de julio de 2026 actualizado por: IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna

INfections in Patients Treated With CAR-T: Analysis of Incidence, Risk Factors, and Management Strategies

This study includes adults with multiple myeloma or B-cell lymphoma who were/will be treated with CAR-T cell therapy at the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna. The aim is to better understand infections that may occur during the first year after CAR-T treatment, including how often they happen, their causes, and factors that may increase the risk. The study will use information from patients treated in the past and from newly enrolled patients. For some patients who develop fever after CAR-T therapy, a rapid molecular blood test will be used alongside standard tests to help identify bloodstream infections more quickly and support timely clinical care.

Descripción general del estudio

Descripción detallada

This is a single-center observational study involving adult patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma or B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who received/will receive CAR-T cell therapy at the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna. The study aims to evaluate how often infections occur during the first 12 months after CAR-T infusion and to describe their main characteristics and risk factors. Both patients treated since 2019 (retrospective cohort) and newly enrolled patients during the year following study approval (prospective cohort) will be included, with one year of follow-up after infusion.

The study will investigate factors associated with infection risk, the impact of preventive and therapeutic anti-infective strategies, the distinction between infection-related fever and cytokine release syndrome (CRS), post-discharge infections, and immune recovery after CAR-T therapy. In the prospective cohort, patients who develop their first fever episode after CAR-T infusion will also undergo a validated rapid molecular blood test (PilotGene ddPCR Blood System), alongside standard blood cultures, to improve the speed of bloodstream infection diagnosis. The test is already used in clinical practice and will serve as a complementary diagnostic tool without changing standard patient management. Approximately 290 patients are expected to be included, most of whom with lymphoma.
