Consumer information for this interaction is not currently available.

GENERALLY AVOID: Prophylactic use of systemic corticosteroids prior to CD19- or BCMA-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy may interfere with the therapeutic effects of such drugs as axicabtagene ciloleucel, brexucabtagene autoleucel, idecabtagene vicleucel, ciltacabtagene autoleucel and lisocabtagene maraleucel. The mechanism for this interaction has not been delineated. Administration of systemic corticosteroids in an effort to manage the toxicities associated with these drugs does not affect the expansion and persistence of CAR T cells.

However, systemic corticosteroids may be used for the management of adverse effects associated with these drugs, such as cytokine release syndrome and neurological-related toxicities, without affecting the expansion and persistence of CAR T cells.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

EPINEPHrine food

Applies to: bupivacaine / dexamethasone / epinephrine
