Assessing the Psychosocial and Financial Impact of CAR-T on Survivors and Caregivers Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. Although survivorship recommendations have been developed in areas such as lymphoma and stem cell transplant, the long-term effects of CAR-T therapy are unknown. In addition, relatively little is known about the psychosocial impact of CAR-T on survivors and their caregivers. Due to the intensive nature of CAR-T treatment and its unique side effects, including neurotoxicity in the acute setting and infections and financial burden in the long-term setting, a longitudinal study that assesses these issues in a quantitative and qualitative fashion is required. Consideration of both patient and caregiver needs is important for the provision of appropriate and effective health services, particularly in intensive cancer treatments that require a caregiver, such as CAR-T. Our objective in this proposal is to define the long-term needs of CAR-T survivors using patient-reported health-related quality of life (QOL) measures, qualitative interviews, and adverse event data. The rationale for our proposed study is that it will provide the necessary knowledge on CAR-T survivor physical, mental, and social health to formulate a CAR-T specific survivorship program that can be implemented and studied in the future. We aim to recruit 100 subjects (50 survivors and 50 caregivers) to the study. Inclusion Criteria are the following: age ≥ 18, blood cancer diagnosis (including B-ALL, multiple myeloma, and lymphoma), receiving a CAR-T product, able to complete a written questionnaire in English either independently or with assistance, and able to perform a verbal interview either in person or via phone teleconference. We will survey patients at baseline and then at pre-specified timepoints up to 2 years after CAR-T. Survey questionnaires that have been previously validated in cancer populations will be used to assess: overall quality of life, psychosocial impact, cognitive function, post-traumatic stress, spiritual well-being, and financial toxicity. Patient demographics, adverse events, and comorbidities will also be collected via survey and/or medical record review. A selected subset of participants (10 survivors and 10 caregivers) will be chosen to undergo semi-structured open ended interviewing to obtain a qualitative understanding of unmet needs, social support, and distress. Data will be analyzed and compared to historical lymphoma and transplant cohorts. A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Lisocatagene Maraleucel in Patients Rochester, Minn., Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of nonconforming lisocabtagene maraleucel in patients, and to assess the effectiveness of nonconforming lisocabtagene maraleucel in patients. A Study to Evaluate TAB006, as Monotherapy and in Combination with Toripalimab, in Patients with Previously Treated, Advanced Malignancies Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn., Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of TAB006 as monotherapy and in combination with toripalimab to treat advanced malignancies. Analysis of Outcomes in Sarcoma Reconstruction Using Intraoperative Fluorescence Angiography Jacksonville, Fla. The primary objective of the study is to compare outcomes of patients undergoing sarcoma reconstructive surgery using fluorescence angiography with patients undergoing sarcoma reconstructive surgery without fluorescence angiograph. Imaging of Prostatic Anatomy in Patients with Known Prostate Cancer and Those at High-Risk using Magnetic Resonance Elastography Rochester, Minn. Many of the current imaging tests we have for prostate cancer are problematic in their ability to distinguish cancerous from non-cancerous prostate tissue. This study is being performed to develop better imaging techniques to better identify and characterize prostate cancer. A Study to Explore the Mechanisms that Separate Responders Versus Non-responders to Treatment such as Immunotherapy, Target Therapy and Chemotherapy in Lung Cancer Patients Jacksonville, Fla. The purpose of this study is to explore the underlying mechanisms that distinguishes responder versus non-responders to treatment such as immunotherapy, target therapy and chemotherapy in lung cancer and mechanisms of resistance. The information generated from this study will likely help to design the optimal strategies to improve clinical outcomes in lung cancers. Blood and Urine Identification of Methylated DNA Markers in Invasive Bladder Carcinoma Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is to, in tissue, discover and validate DNA methylation markers (MDMs) for detection of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. In blood, to assess the accuracy of candidate MDMs from above for detection of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. In urine, to explore the accuracy of candidate MDMs from above for detection of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder. Diagnostic accuracy on urine can be compared with that on plasma using paired samples. Screening for High Frequency Malignant Disease Rochester, Minn., La Crosse, Wis., Eau Claire, Wis. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of a blood-based GuardantLUNAR-2 test to detect high frequency cancer in screen-relevant populations. A Study to Evaluate DNA Evaluation of Fragments for Early Interception - Lung Cancer Training Study Rochester, Minn. The purpose of this study is train and test classifiers for lung cancer detection using the DELFI assay and other biomarker and clinical features. TheraSphere With and Without Durvalumab and Tremelimumab for HCC Jacksonville, Fla. The objective of the ROWAN clinical study is to assess the the durability of local tumor control in Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) patients who receive TheraSphere followed by durvalumab and tremelimumab, compared to those who receive TheraSphere treatment alone.

The patient comes first. So the mission and research here is to advance how we can best help the patient, how to make sure the patient comes first in care. So in many ways, it's a cycle. It can start with as simple as an idea worked on in a laboratory, brought to the patient bedside, and if everything goes right — and let's say it's helpful or beneficial — then brought on as a standard approach. And I think that is one of the unique characteristics of Mayo's approach to research — that patient-centeredness — that really helps to put it in its own spotlight.
