Summary

This trial tests if siltuximab can help reduce complications of CD19.CAR-T cell therapy.

Who is the study for?

Adults with CD19 positive non-Hodgkin lymphoma eligible for standard CAR-T cell therapy can join this trial. They must have certain blood and organ function levels, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, use contraception if of childbearing potential, and cannot have active central nervous system lymphoma or uncontrolled illnesses.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing siltuximab's ability to prevent cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity in patients undergoing CAR-T cell therapy. Siltuximab is an antibody that targets IL-6, a body chemical linked to these side effects.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects include reactions related to the immune system's response such as inflammation in various organs due to the suppression of IL-6 by siltuximab. Specific side effect profiles will be monitored throughout the study.
