Methods of treating hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis with an IL-33 receptor antibody
Compositions and methods for treating a cytokine release syndrome such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell cytokine release syndrome or hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis are provided.
1. A method for inhibiting or treating a cytokine-related disease or disorder in a subject, said method comprising administering to a subject an IL-33 pathway inhibitor,
wherein said cytokine-related disease or disorder is hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and
wherein said IL-33 pathway inhibitor is an antibody or fragment thereof immunologically specific for IL-33 receptor (IL-33R).
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method further comprises administering a hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis therapy selected from the group consisting of an immunosuppressant, glucocorticoid, cyclosporine A, etoposide, methotrexate, IL-1 blocking agent, rilonacept, canakinumab, and gevokizumab.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method further comprises performing a bone marrow transplant on said subject.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is familial (primary) hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL).
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (SHLH).
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis is malignancy associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said antibody or fragment thereof is immunologically specific for the extracellular domain of IL-33R.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method comprises administering an antibody immunologically specific for IL-33R to the subject.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method comprises administering an antibody immunologically specific for the extracellular domain of IL-33R to the subject.
