Background

Clinical Manifestations

  • Fever, hypotension, tachypnea, tachycardia, headache, rash, dyspnea, hypoxemia
  • With BiTE, most common after first dose or first few doses
  • Time of onset is variable
    • CAR-T: 2-3 days (range 1 to 14 days)
    • Haploidentical HSCT: 1 to 3 days
    • Bispecific antibodies: usually within 24-48 hours (range from minutes up to 9 days)

Prognosis

  • Usually resolves within a few days to a few weeks

ASTCT CRS Grading1

Parameter Grade 1 Grade 1 Grade 3 Grade 4
Fever ≥38ºC ≥38ºC ≥38ºC ≥38ºC
with
Hypotension Not on vasopressors One vasopressor ± vasopressin Multiple vasopressors
and/or
Hypoxia Low-flow nasal cannula High-flow nasal cannula, facemask, nonrebreather mask, Venturi mask Positive-pressure ventilation (non-invasive or invasive)

Management

  • Broad-spectrum antibiotics empirically
  • Grade 1: supportive care; if persistent fever for 72 hours consider tocilizumab
  • Grade 2-4:
    • Tocilizumab 8 mg/kg (max 800 mg), can be repeated q8h up to 4 doses; plus
    • Dexamethasone 10 mg IV q12h (Grade 2) or q6h (Grades 3 & 4)
