About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate emapalumab as a prophylactic therapy in preventing cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) in patients with hematologic malignancies receiving bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) as outpatient. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and feasibility of prophylaxis with the interferon gamma (IFN-У -γ) inhibitor Emapalumab in preventing CRS and/or ICANS in patients receiving bispecific antibody therapy for hematologic malignancies.
