Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) management involves medical strategies to control the excessive immune response caused by an overproduction of cytokines, often seen in conditions such as CAR-T cell therapy or certain infections. The management approach includes medications such as corticosteroids and cytokine inhibitors, supportive care, and, in some cases, intensive monitoring to prevent severe complications. Effective management is critical for reducing the risk of severe organ damage and improving patient outcomes.
The primary treatment options for CRS include monoclonal antibodies, corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), targeted therapy, supportive care, and other treatments. Monoclonal antibodies are laboratory-engineered molecules that target specific cytokines or their receptors to regulate immune activity and manage CRS. These antibodies are used for a range of conditions, including chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), autoimmune diseases, infections, and others. They can be administered intravenously (IV), subcutaneously (SC), orally, intramuscularly (IM), intrathecally, or by other methods. These treatments are provided through various channels, including hospital pharmacies, retail pharmacies, online pharmacies, specialty clinics, research institutions, and others.
The cytokine release syndrome management market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides cytokine release syndrome management market statistics, including cytokine release syndrome management industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a cytokine release syndrome management market share, cytokine release syndrome management market segments, market trends, and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the cytokine release syndrome management industry. This cytokine release syndrome management market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The cytokine release syndrome management market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $22.32 billion in 2024 to $23.83 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. Growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising healthcare expenditures, increasing awareness, changing lifestyles, higher disposable incomes, the adoption of personalized medicine approaches, and greater use of targeted therapies.
The cytokine release syndrome management market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $30.69 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. Growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by increased demand for diagnostic tools and treatments, growing government funding, a rising need for effective therapies, an aging population, and expanding initiatives by both public and private organizations. Key trends in the forecast period include the development of minimally invasive breast biopsy devices, strategic partnerships and collaborations, home-based antibiotic infusion services, the emergence of novel drug delivery systems, and the integration of electronic health records for infection tracking.
The increasing use of targeted therapies is expected to drive the growth of the cytokine release syndrome management market in the coming years. Targeted therapies are treatments specifically designed to block the growth and spread of cancer by targeting molecular pathways involved in tumor development. The rise in targeted therapies is mainly attributed to their ability to precisely target cancer cells while minimizing harm to healthy cells, which improves treatment efficacy and reduces side effects compared to traditional therapies. CRS management plays a vital role in optimizing targeted therapies by controlling severe inflammatory responses, thus enhancing the safety and effectiveness of treatments such as CAR-T cell therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors. For example, in January 2024, the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy reported that in the fourth quarter of 2023, the number of gene therapies in Phase III clinical trials increased by 10%, marking the first rise of this kind since the third quarter of 2022. Therefore, the growing use of targeted therapies is fueling the growth of the cytokine release syndrome management market.
Major companies in the cytokine release syndrome management market are focusing on developing innovative therapies, such as host-directed small molecule drugs, which aim to modulate the immune response and reduce the severity of cytokine storms without compromising the body's ability to fight infections or cancer. A host-directed small molecule drug is a low molecular weight compound designed to target immune signaling pathways in the host, helping manage CRS by suppressing excessive cytokine production and preventing immune system overactivation. For instance, in April 2025, CytoAgents Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, announced the successful completion of the first dose-escalation cohort in its Phase 1b/2a clinical trial of CTO1681, a host-directed small molecule drug aimed at preventing and treating CRS in patients receiving CAR T-cell therapy. The investigational therapy showed a favorable safety profile, with no dose-limiting toxicities or disruption to CAR T-cell efficacy. The ongoing trial is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of CTO1681 and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose.
In March 2024, Merck & Co., Inc., a US-based biopharmaceutical company, acquired Harpoon Therapeutics for \$680 million to strengthen its oncology pipeline with innovative T-cell engager therapies. This acquisition integrates Harpoon's T-cell engager technology and lead candidate, MK-6070, currently in a Phase 1/2 trial for advanced cancers, enhancing Merck's immuno-oncology capabilities and expanding its portfolio of next-generation cancer therapies. Harpoon Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, specializes in T-cell engagers for cancer treatment, focusing on its TriTAC-XR platform to reduce CRS and improve treatment efficacy.
