CARdio-Tox: CAR-T Cell Induced Cardiac Dysfunction: A Prospective Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In this observational, prospective study, patients affected by B-cell Lymphoma and candidate to chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell infusion will be evaluated at three timepoints to establish the rate of cardiac dysfunction, defined according to 2022 European Society of Cardiology Cardio-Oncology guidelines. Echocardiography, physical examination and cardiac/inflammatory biomarkers will be performed prior to CAR-T cell infusion and followed at 7 days and 1 month.

Detailed Description
Patients will perform clinical evaluation, transthoracic echocardiogram with speckle tracking analysis and blood samples (including cardiac biomarkers of damage and fibrosis) prior to CART infusion, after 7 days and 1 month following CART infusion. Rate of Cytokine Release Syndrome and use of interleukin-6 inhibitors will be also registered.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence of Cancer Therapy Related Cardiac Dysfunction [30 days]
Cancer Therapy Related Cardiac Dysfunction will be defined according to 2022 European Society of Cardiology guidelines, as symptomatic or asymptomatic and mild, moderate or severe.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Correlation with Inflammatory Biomarkers [30 days]
Modifications of echocardiographic metrics will be related to inflammatory biomarkers (interleukin2 soluble receptor, interleukin 6, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein) changes.
- Correlation with Cytokine Release Syndrome Occurrence [30 days]
Incidence of cardiotoxicity will be related to occurrence and severity of Cytokine Release Syndrome
