Summary

This trial will test if a new cancer treatment can be given safely to patients outside of a hospital.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with large B cell lymphoma or transformed follicular lymphoma that's relapsed after two therapies, including anthracycline and CD20-targeted therapy. Participants need good organ function, a caregiver to help monitor their health, and the ability to use telemedicine tools. They can't join if they've had prior CAR T-cell therapy, certain infections like HIV or hepatitis, CNS lymphoma involvement, severe allergies to study drugs, are pregnant/breastfeeding without birth control measures in place, have autoimmune diseases requiring treatment within the last 2 years or other conditions that might interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The trial tests whether YESCARTA CAR T-cell therapy can be safely given outside of a hospital by using close monitoring through physical exams, wearable devices for vital signs tracking and telemedicine support. Patients will only be admitted if they meet specific criteria indicating more intensive care is needed.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects from YESCARTA may include symptoms related to immune system activation such as fever and fatigue; neurological events like confusion or seizures; low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk; allergic reactions during infusion; and potential impact on liver enzymes.
