Supporting a Phase II Leukemia Cell Therapy Study with Clinion EDC
Overview
A Phase II oncology study evaluating cell therapy in patients with relapsed or refractory CD19-positive B-cell malignancies required a structured digital workflow for safety, efficacy, infusion, and follow-up data capture. The public registry describes the study as an open-label, non-randomized cell and gene therapy trial involving patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Because the study involved a specialized cell therapy pathway, the study team needed a reliable way to capture eligibility details, treatment information, adverse events, disease response, and long-term follow-up data across participating hematology and oncology centers.
Clinion EDC was configured as the central data capture platform for the study. It helped the study team standardize protocol-aligned eCRFs, capture high-complexity safety and efficacy data, manage data review, and maintain centralized visibility across the study workflow.

Challenges
Capturing High-Complexity Cell Therapy Data Across Oncology Centers
The trial required teams to capture immediate safety events after infusion as well as longer-term response and survival outcomes over follow-up. The challenge was keeping this high-risk, high-detail data structured, traceable, and consistent across participating oncology centers.
01
Tracking Safety Events After Cell Therapy Infusion
Cell therapy patients can experience important safety events after infusion, including adverse events, cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, and treatment-related complications. The study team needed a clear way to capture these events quickly, accurately, and in the right category for review.
02
Following Patient Response Over Time
Beyond early safety monitoring, the trial also needed to track how patients responded over time, including disease response, minimal residual disease, progression-free survival, overall survival, and duration of response. This required a data capture setup that could support follow-up beyond the initial treatment window.
03
Aligning Data Capture Across Specialist Oncology Sites
The study involved specialist hematology and oncology centers across multiple Indian locations. Each site needed to capture screening, eligibility, infusion, safety, and follow-up data in the same structure, so the sponsor could review the study without site-to-site variation creating extra work.
Solutions
A Structured Clinion EDC Workflow for Safety and Long-Term Outcomes Data
Clinion EDC was configured to support this trial’s demands: intensive near-term safety monitoring and long-term response tracking across a multi-site network in India.
Clinion EDC supported protocol-aligned eCRFs for the trial's safety endpoints, including cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, and treatment-related mortality.
This helped support:
- Structured capture of time-sensitive adverse event data
- Clear categorization of key safety events
- Disease-specific response criteria capture for B-ALL and B-NHL cohorts
- Centralized safety data review
This gave the study team a consistent way to document safety events close to when they occurred.
Clinion EDC helped organize the trial's longer-term endpoints, including minimal residual disease, progression-free survival, overall survival, and duration of response, into structured follow-up visit workflows.
The setup supported:
- Structured data capture at defined follow-up timepoints
- Consistent tracking of response and survival measures over time
- Data continuity across a multi-year follow-up period
- Centralized data review and query management
This helped the study team maintain a connected, traceable outcomes dataset even as the trial extended well beyond the initial treatment period.
With Clinion EDC, sites across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Chandigarh entered data into a single digital environment, helping the sponsor maintain consistent oversight across the trial's site network.
This helped support:
- Standardized data entry across all participating sites
- Site-wise visibility into data completion
- Easier identification of missing or incomplete records
- Coordinated query management across the network
For a complex, multi-site cell-therapy trial, this helped reduce variability in how safety and outcomes data were captured from site to site.
Outcomes
