Bispecific T-cell engager uptake in lymphoma is constrained by cytokine-release-syndrome management capacity

Bispecific T-cell engagers in B-cell lymphoma are demonstrating strong response rates in late-line settings, but commercial uptake is limited by the cytokine-release-syndrome management infrastructure required for safe administration. The constraint is more binding than the clinical evidence base suggests.
