December 1, 2021–Johnson & Johnson Innovation together with Janssen Global Services is proud to launch theImproving Detection of Neurotoxicity (“ID Neurotoxicity”) in Immunotherapies QuickFire Challengewith the aimto optimize patient care for immunotherapies within the hematologic malignancy space by enabling early detection of neurotoxic events.
Immunotherapies fortreatmentof hematologic malignancies, such as T-cell based immunotherapies and chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies, offer a new treatment for these cancers. However, some patientsexperience neurotoxicityas a result of treatment.Clinical symptoms or signscan be progressive and may include aphasia, altered level of consciousness, impairment of cognitive skills, motor weakness, seizures, and cerebral edema.
Early detection of acute toxicities may enable earlier intervention and ultimately result in improved outcomes for patients.For example,researchsuggests that analyzing patients’ handwriting may aid in identifying neurotoxicity prior to the presentation of other noticeable symptoms.
