Support during stem cell or CAR T cancer treatment
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests whether starting palliative and supportive care early (alongside cancer treatment) can improve comfort and support for people having stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy. It may also help family caregivers by offering support during a difficult treatment period.

This trial studies whether adding palliative care (comfort-focused care to reduce stress and symptoms) helps people during adoptive cell therapy for blood cancers. It may help improve quality of life while you’re receiving the therapy.
This study tests whether extra geriatric support before and after CAR-T cell therapy helps people 60 and older recover faster. It is for patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma or multiple myeloma who are scheduled for an FDA-approved CAR-T treatment.
This study tests an approach to help people with certain blood cancers and their main caregiver plan ahead and communicate more clearly about end-of-life care. It may help patients feel more supported and better prepared for difficult decisions.
This study looks at how CAR T-cell treatment affects thinking, learning, and day-to-day brain function in children and young adults with certain blood cancers. You (and a caregiver) may complete online testing so researchers can track these changes over time and whether support is needed.
This study offers a palliative care team (doctors and nurses focused on comfort and quality of life) to people newly diagnosed with multiple myeloma or with an aggressive lymphoma that has come back. The goal is to help manage symptoms early, so you feel better and stay stronger during your cancer treatment.
This study tests a program to help caregivers of patients receiving a stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant) for blood cancer. It aims to reduce stress and provide support during this challenging time.
