AI Technical Summary
There is a need for methods and biomarkers to predict a patient's risk of developing severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) associated with CAR T cell therapy, which is a potentially life-threatening adverse side effect.
The method involves evaluating the level or activity of biomarkers such as soluble gp130 (sgp130) or soluble IL6 receptor (sIL6R) in a subject to determine the risk of developing severe CRS, allowing for early intervention and potential adjustments to treatment.
This approach enables early and accurate identification of subjects at high risk for severe CRS, enabling interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality, and is more sensitive and specific than current treatment modalities.
