Digital Multi-Vital Sign Monitoring for Early Detection of Cytokine Release Syndrome From Bispecific T-Cell Engagers and Chimeric Antigen Receptor Therapy
Digital Multi-Vital Sign Monitoring for Early Detection of Cytokine Release Syndrome From Bispecific T-Cell Engagers and Chimeric Antigen Receptor Therapy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate two vital sign monitoring devices, TempTraq and VitalTraq, in patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing therapy with Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CAR-T) or Bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTE) products. TempTraq is an axillary patch that is worn on the skin and continuously monitors a patient's body temperature. VitalTraq is a smartphone application that utilizes remote photoplethysmography technology via a 30-second facial scan to estimate the patient's blood pressure (BP), heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), and respiratory rate. These remote vital sign monitoring devices have the potential to promote earlier detection and intervention of treatment-related toxicities, including cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and febrile neutropenia.
Inclusion Criteria:
Adults at or over the age of 18 with hematologic malignancies undergoing treatment with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy or bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTE), as follows:
Owns a smart phone (e.g., iPhone, Android, Samsung) that is compatible with the VitalTraq app and that can connect to wi-fi. This will be assessed at screening.
Able to read and understand English
Willing and able to provide informed consent to the study
