[Follow-up logbook of patients receiving CAR T-cell therapy: Guidelines from the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC)]. / Carnet de suivi des patients recevant un traitement par CAR T-cell : recommandations de la Société francophone de greffe de moelle et de thérapie cellulaire (SFGM-TC).

In the attempt to harmonize practices and to create a national CAR T-cells patient follow-up care logbook, the Francophone Society of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (SFGM-TC) worked on the design of a common national care logbook during the eleventh annual workshops of practice harmonization. The purpose of this logbook was to explain the different phases of the treatment with CAR T-cells and to allow useful monitoring for the patient. This logbook can be also helpful for the different healthcare professionals involved in the patient care. This national logbook will provide important information to the patients undergoing CAR T-cell therapy. In addition to the information booklets already in use, the national logbook simplifies patient follow-up by recording various medical appointments and possible adverse events. This work has been based on tools that had already been put in place by different CAR T-cell centers. This national logbook represents a common "base" and is prepared in the form of index cards to be classified using dividers in a binder. Therefore, the national care logbook will be adaptable for local procedures and guidelines of each center.

In Europe, two CAR T-cell products, tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah™) and axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta™), were approved in 2018. While these treatments are available for use, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation centers still need to set up a dedicated care process inspired by established procedures in the field. In order to determine necessary resources and actors, each step of the CAR T-cell care process must be planned in advance. This process, implemented by the center's coordinating nurse, should be able to be adapted to each center's needs. The purpose of this workshop is to provide the organizational basis for such a process so that each center wishing to set up CAR-T cell activity can do so effectively. After detailing the coordinating nurse's role, we explain each step of the care process and specify essential additional tests.
