Rapid Recognition and Management of T-Cell Therapy-Related Toxicities in B-Cell Lymphomas: Crucial Updates for the Emergency Department
Program Overview
The advent of CAR T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies has revolutionized care for patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, but they also come with inflammatory and neurological safety concerns that may be unfamiliar to emergency department clinicians. In this activity, clinicians will learn directly from Drs. Joshua Brody and Jeremy Abramson how to recognize, evaluate, and treat these adverse reactions according to guidelines.
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
Identify adverse events (AEs) associated with T-cell engaging therapies in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) who present to the emergency department (ED)
Integrate consensus management recommendations for T-cell engaging therapy-associated AEs amongst patients with B-cell NHL presenting to the ED
