AI Technical Summary
Current methods for treating diseases related to B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) expression, such as multiple myeloma, are limited, and there is a need for improved adoptive cell therapies that reduce toxicity associated with existing BCMA-targeted treatments.
Administering a combination therapy of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) and engineered T cells expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to BCMA, with IL-1Ra given either before or after the T cell administration to mitigate toxicity.
Reduces the severity and occurrence of toxicity, such as cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity, macrophage activation syndrome, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, in subjects receiving BCMA-targeted therapies.
