New hope to tame CAR-T's dangerous brain side effects
NCT ID NCT04150913
Summary
This study tested whether adding a drug called anakinra to a powerful cell therapy (CAR-T) could reduce severe brain-related side effects in patients with lymphoma that has returned or resisted treatment. The main goal was to see if this combination made the CAR-T treatment safer by lowering the rates of confusion, seizures, and other nervous system problems. Researchers enrolled 15 adults to receive both treatments and monitored them closely.
