About this trial

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate cognitive changes over time in participants with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma who have received chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Ability to understand and willingness to sign an IRB-approved informed consent

Ability to retain independent decision-making capacity as per the enrolling investigator

Age ≥ 18 years of age at the time of consent

Scheduled to receive BCMA CAR-T therapy for RRMM as confirmed by the treating clinician

Disqualifiers

Active central nervous system (CNS) disease

Known neurodegenerative disease or major neurocognitive disorder

Stroke and/or traumatic brain injury (TBI) within 12 months

Concurrent investigational neuroactive drugs

Trial population

Patients who have been scheduled to receive BCMA CAR-T therapy as their next line of therapy will be identified and approached for consent.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Clinically significant cognitive impairment

For each timepoint in which the Cognitive Assessment Battery is assessed (baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12 months post-CAR-T), the overall clinically significant impairment will be determined as a binary variable. Clinically significant impairment will be determined if 2 individual cognitive tests (from ICCTF or Digit Span subtest) have a standardized score at least 1.5 standard deviations below the mean or if 1 individual cognitive test has a standardized score at least 2 standard deviations below the mean.

Time frame
Baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12-months post-CAR-T

Secondary outcomes

1

Hopkins Verbal Learning Test - Revised (HVLT-R) total recall score

HVLT-R recall score will be captured at baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12-months post-CAR-T. The total recall score is the sum of the raw scores from the three learning trials. Raw and standardized T-scores will be captured

Time frame
Baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12-months post-CAR-T
2

Hopkins Verbal Learning Test - Revised (HVLT-R) retention score %

HVLT-R retention score % will be captured at baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12-months post-CAR-T. The retention score % is the delayed recall score divided by the highest raw score from learning trial #2 or learning trial #3.

Time frame
Baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12-months post-CAR-T
3

Hopkins Verbal Learning Test - Revised (HVLT-R) Recognition Discrimination Index (RDI)

The HVLT-R RDI will be captured at baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12-months post-CAR-T. The RDI is the difference between total number of true positives and total number of false positives from the delayed recognition trial. Raw and standardized T-scores will be captured.

Time frame
Baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12-months post-CAR-T
4

Oral Trail-Making Test Part A (OTMT-A) results, seconds

The OTMT-A results will be captured at baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12-months post-CAR-T. The OTMT-A is a count variable indicating number of seconds to complete OTMT Part A. Raw and standardized scores will be captured.

Time frame
Baseline, 1-, 6-, and 12-months post-CAR-T
