B-cell Counts and Inflammation Markers Predicting Prevalence and Severity of Cytokine-Release Syndrome in CAR T-Cell Therapy of Patients with Autoimmune Disease (ACR Convergence 2026) - Sep 8, 2026 - Abstract #2940; Pres time: Nov 11, 2026; 10:45 AM - 11:00 AM; Location: W415BC; In Person; "Patients from Germany were either treated with autologous CD19 CAR-T in a named patient use program, in the phase 1/2 CASTLE trial, or in a phase 1 trial with BMS-986353...Patients received lymphodepletion (LD) with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine prior to CAR-treatment... Pre-treatment B-cell burden and inflammatory state correlate with risk of CRS occurrence. Simple B-cell counts and interleukin-6 can serve as CRS-prediction biomarkers. Strategies for B-cell depletion and systemic inflammation suppression prior to CAR T therapy could lead to a safer therapy approach.References:1."
