Interleukin 6 receptor (IL6R) inhibitor, tocilizumab, has been effectively used in the treatment of cytokine release syndrome in patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy. Here we present a patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) who developed a steroid refractory, post-operative myelomonocytic leukemoid reaction (PO-MMLR), effectively treated with tocilizumab. Although, further studies are needed to validate the effectiveness of tocilizumab in management of PO-MMLR, this case serves to provide a new management approach in treatment of this rare but lethal syndrome with no standardized treatment options.
白细胞介素6受体(IL6R)抑制剂托珠单抗已有效用于接受嵌合抗原受体T细胞疗法患者的细胞因子释放综合征治疗。本文介绍了一名慢性粒单核细胞白血病(CMML)患者,该患者发生了类固醇难治性术后粒单核细胞白血病样反应(PO-MMLR),使用托珠单抗治疗有效。尽管需要进一步研究来验证托珠单抗在治疗PO-MMLR中的有效性,但该病例为治疗这种罕见但致命且尚无标准化治疗方案的综合征提供了一种新的管理方法。
