First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tested whether anakinra, a drug used for rheumatoid arthritis, could prevent two serious side effects of CAR-T cell therapy: cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and nerve damage. 27 adults with B-cell lymphoma received anakinra alongside their CAR-T treatment. The goal was to see if anakinra could reduce the occurrence of these side effects without affecting the cancer-fighting power of the CAR-T cells.
