Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of metoprolol, a beta-1 adrenergic receptor blocker, in the treatment of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) caused by chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cell infusions, its effects on the serum levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and other cytokines.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Conditional therapy mode group

Metoprolol (12.5-25 mg per dose, every 12 hours) was initially given from the day of CRS diagnosis confirmation post CAR T cell infusions till CRS remission in patients without bulky tumor burden. For all metoprolol-treated patients, the use of antibodies (infliximab, etanercept and tocilizumab) and/or other agents were not completely limited under the consideration of clinical requirement for sufficient control of continuously progressed CRS.

Drug: Metoprolol
Metoprolol was given in patients who received CAR T cell therapy for CRS control or CRS precaution.

Drug: metoprolol, infliximab, etanercept, tocilizumab and/or other agents
During the term of metoprolol use, antibodies (infliximab, etanercept and tocilizumab) and/or other agents were not completely limited to be used under the consideration of clinical requirement for sufficient control of continuously progressed CRS.

Experimental: Prophylactic therapy mode group

Metoprolol (12.5-25 mg per dose, every 12 hours) was given starting from the day before CAR T infusion till CRS remission in patients with bulky disease. For all metoprolol-treated patients, the use of antibodies (infliximab, etanercept and tocilizumab) and/or other agents were not completely limited under the consideration of clinical requirement for sufficient control of continuously progressed CRS.

Drug: Metoprolol
Metoprolol was given in patients who received CAR T cell therapy for CRS control or CRS precaution.

Drug: metoprolol, infliximab, etanercept, tocilizumab and/or other agents
During the term of metoprolol use, antibodies (infliximab, etanercept and tocilizumab) and/or other agents were not completely limited to be used under the consideration of clinical requirement for sufficient control of continuously progressed CRS.
