Adult patients (≥ 18 years) diagnosed with haematologic malignant disease (e.g. malignant lymphoma) scheduled for treatment with immune therapy, including chimeric antigen receptor T-cell treatment (CART) and T-cell engaging bispecific antibodies (BsAbs).
Before and after the anti-cancer treatment, the patient have blood tests drawn that can provide detailed information about the patient’s immune system.
After the treatment, the patient is fitted with wireless monitoring equipment (WARD equipment), that measures pulse, blood pressure, temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygen saturation.
