Background: Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies are effective for treating haematological cancers but carry risks of toxicity and substantial symptom burden. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) could significantly enhance clinical management for patients undergoing these treatments. However, guidance on selection of PRO measures for monitoring adverse event and quality of life after CAR T-cell therapy is limited.

Article Synopsis
  • CAR T-cell therapy can cause serious side effects, highlighting the need to understand patient experiences and quality of life through patient-reported outcomes (PROs).
  • A study identified 178 relevant symptoms and concepts from 44 articles, which were categorized into four key areas: symptom burden, treatment impact, tolerability, and health-related quality of life.
  • A conceptual framework was developed to improve the collection of PRO data, ensuring that patient perspectives are considered in managing treatment for those with blood cancers undergoing CAR T-cell therapy.

Article Synopsis
  • CAR T-cell therapies are new treatments for blood cancers but can cause serious side effects, so patients need careful monitoring.
  • This study is creating a digital system where patients can report their health and symptoms online to help their doctors keep track of their condition.
  • The research will involve different groups like patients, doctors, and researchers to test how well this system works and if it's easy for patients to use.

Research participants often do not represent the general population. Systematic exclusion of particular groups from research limits the generalizability of research findings and perpetuates health inequalities. Groups considered underserved by research include those whose inclusion is lower than expected based on population estimates, those with a high healthcare burden but limited research participation opportunities and those whose healthcare engagement is less than others.
