Summary

This study tests whether the drug anakinra can prevent or reduce severe side effects like brain problems and cytokine release syndrome caused by CAR-T cell therapy. About 62 adults with certain B-cell blood cancers who are getting CAR-T treatment will receive anakinra. The goal is to see if this approach makes the therapy safer without affecting its cancer-fighting power.
