Arthritis drug tested to tame Life-Threatening CAR-T side effects

NCT ID NCT04359784

Summary

This study tested if a drug called anakinra could prevent two serious and potentially life-threatening side effects—cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity—in patients with B-cell lymphoma receiving CAR-T cell therapy. Twenty-seven adult patients received anakinra alongside their standard CAR-T treatment. The goal was to see if this approach could make the powerful cancer therapy safer by controlling its severe inflammatory side effects.
