First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested whether the drug siltuximab can lessen the severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurological side effects (ICANS) that often occur after CAR-T cell therapy for blood cancers like lymphoma and leukemia. Twenty-four participants received siltuximab alongside their CAR-T treatment. The goal was to see if the drug could help resolve these side effects faster, making the therapy safer and more tolerable.
