Summary

This study tests whether siltuximab can lessen the severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and nerve-related side effects (ICANS) that often occur after CAR-T cell therapy for blood cancers like lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and leukemia. About 30 participants will receive siltuximab when they develop these side effects. The goal is to see if the drug helps resolve symptoms faster and reduce complications.
