Patients undergoing CAR T cell therapy are receiving potentially life-saving treatment; therefore, it is paramount to ensure the availability of tocilizumab to mitigate serious toxicity and the need for advanced supportive care measures. Although many clinical trials of unproven benefit are on hold during the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that rational studies of CRS prevention and treatment should continue because they may provide significant advantages to patients by improving safety, limiting the need for scarce intensive care support, and preserving a possibly limited supply of tocilizumab. ./cache/cord-353844-yaueoq62.txt ./txt/cord-353844-yaueoq62.txt
