Intervention

Behavioral:
neurocognitive evaluations
The test battery consists of validated and reliable measures of attention, executive functions and memory.
Diagnostic Test:
brain MRIs
Patients will undergo baseline and follow-up research MRIs in the same scanner at MSKCC (3 Tesla scanner (GE, Discovery 750W, USA) with a GEM HNU 24-channel head coil) (total scan duration=15 minutes).
Other:
Blood samples
Blood samples will be collected at each time point (Day -1, day 0, day 1, day 3, day 5, day 7, day 10, day of neurotoxicity onset, and 3-4 months post- CART).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary changes in neurocognitive functions correlations of neurocognitive scores with the FACIT-FS (fatigue) scale score The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue Subscale, Version 4 (FACITFS V-4 56, is a 13-item questionnaire designed to assess symptoms and concerns specific to the QOL of patients with fatigue [66]. The questionnaire asks respondents to indicate the extent to which each item applied to them over "the past 7 days" using a 5-point Likert-type response format ranging from "0 - Not at all" to "4 - Very much". The 13 items produce the Fatigue Subscale (FS) score (range 0 - 52). 1 year
