Promising but preliminary

A circulating protein signature for predicting severe immune-related adverse events following CAR T-cell therapy in relapsed/refractory lymphoma.

Blood protein patterns may help doctors predict which lymphoma patients will experience severe side effects from CAR-T therapy, enabling preventive care strategies.

This preprint describes a protein biomarker panel in blood that could predict which lymphoma patients will develop severe immune side effects after CAR-T therapy. If validated, this could enable preemptive management of CAR-T toxicities.
