Abstrakt: This article discusses the use of cetuximab, a monoclonal antibody, to control the side effects of anti-CD5 CAR-T cell therapy. The study found that cetuximab effectively reduced the number of CAR-T cells in the blood, leading to a decrease in adverse events. The researchers also observed skin-related side effects, which were independent of cytokine release and may be caused by the on-target, off-tumor effects of CAR-T cells. The study highlights the importance of incorporating safety features, such as a switch-off system, in CAR-T cell therapies to improve their safety profile. [Extracted from the article]
