This is an observational, multicenter, prospective cohort study including patients treated with CAR-T in Italian centers. Patients eligible for enrollment in the study will be consecutively included in Italian FIL centers. A longitudinal survey will be carried out by collecting patients' data before starting CAR-T (T0) and after 6 (T1), 12 (T2) and 24 (T3) months after CAR-T infusion.

Self-assessed neurocognitive performance
Self-assessed neurocognitive performance will be evaluated through Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Cognitive questionnaire (FACT-Cog Version 3). The FACT-Cog (Version 3) is a self-report questionnaire developed within the measurement system of FACIT.org (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy) to assess perceived cognitive functioning in individuals with cancer. The instrument includes 37 items in total, although the most commonly reported total score is based on 33 scored items. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale (0-4) (0 = not at all; 4 = very much / very often, depending on the item). Total score (33-item scoring): Minimum: 0, Maximum: 132. Score interpretation: higher scores indicate better perceived cognitive functioning, lower scores indicate greater perceived cognitive impairment.
The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)
Neurocognitive performance evaluation: Cognitive Status - Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
Cognitive status will be assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Unit of Measure: Total score (points) Range: 0 to 30 Interpretation: Higher scores indicate better cognitive performance.
The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)

EstimatedA Study of Glofitamab-based Treatment in People With Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma
Quality of Life (QoL)
Quality of life will be evaluated through EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer-Quality of life Questionnaire-Core 30). The EORTC QLQ-C30 (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30) is a 30-item instrument used to assess health-related quality of life in people with cancer. All scales and single items are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale (Minimum: 0 and Maximum: 100).
The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)
Psychological status
Psychological status will be evaluated through HADS questionnaire (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale). The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale consists of two subscales: anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D). Each subscale ranges from 0 to 21, with higher scores indicating worse psychological outcomes (greater anxiety or depression symptoms).
The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)
Resilience
Resilience will be evaluated through RS-14 questionnaire (Resilience scale-14 questionnaire). The Resilience Scale-14 produces a total score ranging from 14 to 98, with higher scores indicating a better outcome (greater resilience).
The endpoint wil be evaluated at screening (before starting CAR-T therapy), at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)
Adverse events
CRS (Cytokine Release Syndrome), ICANS (Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome) and IEC-HS (Immune Effector Cell associated HLH-like Syndrome) will be graded according to ASBMT (American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation ) consensus grading, ICAHT (Immune effector cell-associated hematotoxicity) will be graded according to EHA/EBMT (European Hematology Association/European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation) consensus grading, other extrahematological toxicities will be graded according to the latest version of CTCAE criteria (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events).
The endpoint wil be evaluated at 6, 12 and 24 months after CAR-T infusion (from the beginning of the study at least 24 months after CAR-T infusion)
