Abstract:
Having already revolutionized outcomes for relapsed or refractory B cell malignancies and multiple myeloma, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is on the cusp of significantly impacting those with solid tumors. However, antitumor response is frequently associated with acute toxicities due to immune hyperactivation, including cytokine release syndrome, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome, immune effector cell-associated hematotoxicity, and immune effector cell-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like syndrome. We discuss the clinical presentations, evaluation, management, risk factors, and pathophysiologies of these toxicities and briefly describe emerging toxicity mitigation strategies.

Toxic Reactions: Overview
Toxicity falls into two primary categories: local and systemic.
Local toxicity appears at the exposure site, such as protein denaturation caused by caustic substances.
In contrast, systemic toxicity requires the toxic agent's absorption and distribution,...
