Abstract: The instant disclosure provides biomarkers and methods for identifying subjects at risk of developing cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, or both after adoptive immunotherapy to guide preemptive intervention, modified therapy, or the like. For example, adverse event biomarkers may be measured in a subject before pre-conditioning chemotherapy, before immunotherapy (e.g., adoptive immunotherapy infusion comprising a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cell), or shortly after pre-conditioning chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy. Exemplary biomarkers include temperature, cytokine levels and endothelial activation biomarkers, such as angiopoietin-2, von Willebrand factor (vWF), ratio of angiopoietin-2 to angiopoietin-1, and ratio of ADAMTS13 to vWF. Also provided are methods of treating subjects identified as at risk of developing cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, or both to minimize such potential adverse events.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of novel biomarkers and biomarker combinations having utility in the early determination of an individual's critical and/or life threatening response to illness and/or in predicting outcome of said illness. The measurement of expression levels of the products of the biomarkers and combinations of biomarkers of the invention have utility in making the determination of an individual's critical and/or life threatening response to illness. In some embodiments, the biomarker and biomarker combinations are agnostic and are independent of the pre-identification and/or determination of the cause or nature of the illness. In some embodiments, the biomarkers and biomarker combinations can be utilized to select treatment and/or monitor the effectiveness of treatment interventions for an individual who has a critical illness.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of identifying a subject having, or at risk of developing, an infectious disease state wherein endothelial integrity is compromised comprising: (a) determining a test ANG-1 level in a sample from a subject; and (b) comparing the test ANG-1 level to a control level wherein lower test ANG-1 level compared to the control level is indicative of the subject developing said infectious disease state.
