Abstract
T-cell-based immunotherapy has recently evolved as a treatment option for a number of haematological malignancies and is also being developed in solid tumours. A common side effect of chimeric antigen T-cell therapy (CAR-T) and treatment with T-cell engagers is cytokine release syndrome (CRS), which is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by release of inflammatory mediators. The treatment of CRS is similar to that of other hyper-inflammatory conditions and involves supportive treatment as well as immunosuppressive therapy. The risk of CRS can be mitigated by step-up dosing and immunosuppressive pre-treatment, as argued in this review.
