Cytokine Release Syndrome Understanding

Cytokine Release Syndrome: Overview

A condition that may occur after treatment with some types of immunotherapy, such as monoclonal antibodies and CAR-T cells. Cytokine release syndrome is caused by a large, rapid release of cytokines into the blood from immune cells affected by the immunotherapy. Cytokines are immune substances that have many different actions in the body.

Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of cytokine release syndrome include fever, nausea, headache, rash, rapid heartbeat, low blood pressure, and trouble breathing. Most patients have a mild reaction, but sometimes, the reaction may be severe or life threatening.

Treatment
As immune-based therapies for cancer become potent, more effective, and more widely available, optimal management of their unique toxicities becomes increasingly important. Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) is a potentially life-threatening toxicity that has been observed following administration of natural and bispecific antibodies and, more recently, following adoptive T-cell therapies for cancer. CRS is associated with elevated circulating levels of several cytokines including interleukin (IL)-6 and interferon ?, and uncontrolled studies demonstrate that immunosuppression using tocilizumab, an anti-IL-6 receptor antibody, with or without corticosteroids, can reverse the syndrome.

Cytokine Release Syndrome Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Cytokine Release Syndrome report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Cytokine Release Syndrome Emerging Drugs

Canakinumab: NovartisCanakinumab is an interleukin (IL)-1ß blocker indicated to treat certain periodic fever syndromes, such as cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Novartis is conducting phase III trial, called CAN-COVID which will evaluate the drug’s efficacy in treating a type of severe immune overreaction called cytokine release syndrome (CRS) related to Covid-19 pneumonia.

Itacitinib: Incyte CorporationItacitinib is a potent, selective JAK1 inhibitor which is being clinically evaluated in several inflammatory diseases. It is currently being evaluated in phase II stage for the prevention of Cytokine Release Syndrome Induced by Immune Effector Cell Therapy.

Dapansutrile: Olatec Therapeutics LLCDapansutrile is being developed by Olatec Therapeutics LLC for the treatment of Cytokine Release Syndrome. It is currently being evaluated in phase II trial to determine safety and efficacy of Dapansutrile for treatment of moderate COVID-19 symptoms and evidence of Early Cytokine Release Syndrome.
