FOR CAR T ASSETS
- Based on the current manufacturing capacity for CAR T products, we are unable to consider ISR proposals that require the provision of CAR T product at this time.
- We are accepting ISR proposals for CAR T based on the following Areas of Interest (AOIs)
Liso-cel AOIs
- Decipher the optimal treatment sequence with liso-cel in DLBCL through real world evidence
- What is the optimal sequencing of liso-cel with other available treatments?
- What are the outcomes for patients who proceed to other therapies post liso-cel failure?
- Identify optimal bridging strategies to liso-cel in DLBCL including through real world evidence
- Evaluate outcomes in patients treated with liso-cel or other CAR T through real world evidence
- What are the outcomes in the commercial setting vs clinical trials?
- What are the outcomes for those who do not experience grade 3+ CRS / NT, or other AEs?
- Do interventions for CRS / NT (e.g., steroids, tocilizumab) impact outcomes?
Ide-cel AOIs
- Evaluate use of ide-cel in triple class exposed RRMM through real world evidence
- Evaluate predictors of response
- Assess impact of bridging therapy
- Understand longer-term outcomes with ide-cel
- Evaluate safety profile to inform setting of care decisions through real world evidence
- Assess mitigation and monitoring strategies for CRS & NT
- Evaluate site of care and timing of release from hospital
- Assess impact of long-term cytopenias
- Evaluate sequencing in RRMM through real world evidence
- Assess sequencing of ide-cel with respect to other anti-BCMA assets
- Evaluate impact of prior treatments
- Assess outcomes of patients who receive other therapies post ide-cel failure
