Managing Bispecific T-Cell Engager Toxicity: CRS and ICANs in Practice

By Allison Hamner, PharmD, BCPS

Bispecific T-cell engagers (BiTEs) offer major efficacy in hematologic malignancies, but their signature toxicities—cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and ICANS—require real-time vigilance and management similar to CAR T-cell therapy.
