With our poster at EBMT, we’re looking at an analysis of patients from our global patient survey that we do every two years. This is the 2024 version of the survey, which is the data used.

With our poster at EBMT, we’re looking at an analysis of patients from our global patient survey that we do every two years. This is the 2024 version of the survey, which is the data used. And we looked at those who had been treated with CAR-T versus those treated with a stem cell transplant and looked at shared decision-making and different elements that contribute to shared decision-making between the two cohorts. And there was definitely a gap for those who go through stem cell transplant. CAR-T patients were much more likely to say that they were involved in the decisions about their care, they were more likely to say that they had better relationships with their doctor, that the doctor responds to their questions and answers in a way that they understood and overarchingly felt like they were more involved and had a better relationship with their doctor to discuss these kinds of issues. Stem cell transplant, definitely not. So it does show a gap in care that could be addressed in clinic to make the overarching experience easier for patients.
