ASH 2023 | Strategies for mitigating CRS risk in DLBCL: preliminary findings from EPCORE NHL-1
Julie Vose, MD, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, NE, discusses cytokine release syndrome (CRS) risk mitigation in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Dr Vose highlights data from a cohort of patients enrolled in the EPCORE NHL-1 trial (NCT03625037) of epcoritamab. Dexamethasone premedication and additional fluid intake prior to treatment were some strategies utilized to mitigate CRS risk, and led to a decrease in rate and severity of events, with no grade 3 CRS reported and only 3 patients (8%) experiencing grade 2. These results will aid in developing recommendations which will allow clinicians to optimize the mitigation of this treatment-related adverse event. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
