Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm 1 (CART Cell Group)

Cohort 1 Patients will receive anakinra 100mg s.c. every 12 hours starting on day 2 post CAR T cell infusion, or after 2 documented fevers of ≥38.5° C prior to day 2, whichever time point is earlier. Anakinra will be continued for 10 days.

Cohort 2 Patients will receive anakinra 100mg s.c. daily on day 0 of T cell infusion, and continue anakinra daily for 7 days
