Brief Summary

This phase II trial tests how well cytarabine (Ara-C), methotrexate, and hydrocortisone given between the spinal cord and the membranes that protect it (intrathecal \[IT\]) works in preventing high-grade immune effector-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) in patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. ICANS is a challenging complication of CAR T-cell therapy that causes neurological effects varying from mild headaches or temporary confusion to hallucinations, swelling in the brain, and seizures. Between 20%-70% of patients receiving CAR T-cell therapy show symptoms of neurotoxicity.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Written informed consent. Participant or legally authorized representative (LAR) must provide written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures or interventions * Age ≥ 18 years. All genders, races, and ethnic groups will be included * Must be receiving SOC Yescarta® or Tecartus® in the inpatient setting * Agree to adhere to institutional guidelines for contraception during the first 30 days post CAR-T * Rationale for eligibility criteria based on contraception and pregnancy (both participants and partners of a sperm-producing participant): It shall be known to all participants that the effects of CAR-T or IT chemotherapy on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, persons of reproductive potential must agree to use adequate contraception. Should a participant or participant's sexual partner become pregnant or suspect a pregnancy while participating in this study, the individual should inform their treating physician immediately * Eas
