Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Patient Reported Outcomes and Patient Education in Cellular Therapy Patients

Study Description

Brief Summary: The purpose of this research is to provide an educational visit addressing common emotional stressors involved in the transplant/CAR-T process, and determine if this added education improves levels of anxiety, depression, and fatigue after transplant/CART in comparison to people who do not receive the brief educational visit.

Detailed Description: Individuals who decide to participate in this study, will be provided with a survey evaluating current symptoms. This survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Individuals will then be scheduled for a 30 minute telephone visit to review common emotional stressors experienced after Stem Cell Transplant/CAR-T therapy as well as strategies to help reduce these symptoms. Participants will be provided with a pamphlet to review during the visit and independently afterwards. This visit will be conducted by telephone to avoid extra travel to the hospital, and will be conducted prior to admission for Transplant/CAR-T. Individuals will then be asked to fill out the same set of surveys at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after receiving the transplant/CAR-T therapy. These surveys will be conducted during other scheduled clinic visits to avoid additional travel to the hospital. An individual's involvement will be complete at 1 year. If an individual receives post-transplant/CAR-T care at a hospital other than DHMC, surveys will be mailed to the participant to complete and return at the same time points.
