Step 4: Final clearance appointment to start CAR-T cell therapy
You will have a follow-up appointment with your CAR-T doctor after your T-cells are collected and before your CAR-T cell infusion. This will take place in the cancer center.
During this appointment:
- An assessment, including going over your bloodwork and imaging results, will occur to see if it is safe to proceed with the CAR-T cell therapy.
- You may need to get your blood drawn before the appointment.
- You will sign your consent for chemotherapy and infusion of your new CAR T-cells.
- The dates for your chemotherapy, CAR-T cell infusion, and hospital admission will be confirmed.
