New hope to tame dangerous CAR-T therapy side effects

NCT ID NCT04975555

Summary

This study is testing whether a drug called siltuximab can help control two serious side effects that sometimes occur after CAR-T cell therapy for blood cancers. CAR-T therapy can cause dangerous immune overreactions called cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurological problems (ICANS). The trial will enroll 30 patients to see if siltuximab given at the first sign of these side effects can resolve them safely and effectively.
