Highly effective contraception methods include, as defined by the CTFG recommendations (available at h t t p s : / / w w w . h m a . e u / f i l e a d m i n / d a t e i e n / H u m a n _ M e d i c i n e s / 0 1 -About_HMA/Working_Groups/CTFG/2014_09_HMA_CTFG_Contraception.pdf): o\tCombined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, transdermal) o\t Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, implantable) o\tIntrauterine device (IUD) o\tIntrauterine hormone-releasing system o\tBilateral tubal occlusion o\tVasectomized partner (provided that partner is the sole sexual partner of the trial participant and that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of the surgical success) o\tSexual abstinence (only if defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject). Sexually active males should use a condom during intercourse for at least 12 months after the infusion and until CAR-T cells are no longer present on two consecutive tests."}
