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).

Other interventionPerform standardized neurocognitive testing at baseline and serially at 1-, 6-, and 12-months post-infusion.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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.
Secondary outcomes
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
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.
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.
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.
