Their rapid expansion into solid tumors, alongside the emergence of next-generation agents, such as immunocytokines and CD28-costimulatory bispecifics, has brought cytokine release syndrome (CRS) to the forefront of clinical oncology. However, the absence of a unified grading system for these novel constructs remains a critical barrier to drug development and patient safety.</div><div>Current toxicity management relies on disparate grading scales, leading to inconsistent reporting and hindering cross-trial comparisons. A fundamental challenge lies in the diagnostic ambiguity created by the significant clinical and temporal overlap among CRS, infusion-related reactions, and other diagnoses. Although fever, hypotension, and hypoxia are common denominators, their distinct pathophysiological drivers necessitate divergent therapeutic interventions.</div></div><div><h3>Design</h3><div>We advocate for a paradigm shift from aggregate syndromic grading toward a granular, longitudinal reporting framework. This approach prioritizes the precise documentation of symptom kinetics, specific interventions (e.g. exact vasopressor requirements and oxygen flow rates), and real-time biomarker integration. By capturing high-fidelity data, researchers can retrospectively apply evolving criteria and develop more tailored, evidence-based management algorithms.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Transitioning to a standardized, symptom-driven reporting model is essential to navigate the complexities of ‘Immuno-oncology 2.0.’ Such a framework will harmonize safety assessments across global trials and ultimately optimize the therapeutic index of next-generation immunotherapies.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8000,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Oncology","volume":"37 7","pages":"Pages 892-901"},"PeriodicalIF":80.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147615745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In ADAPTcycle, N0-1 patients with RS > 25 and ET response and those with RS < 25 and e.g. ET nonresponse, N2-3 patients with RS ≤ 25 and ET response, were randomly assigned to receive (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy or aromatase inhibitor (AI)+ribociclib. Predictors of ET response were identified through multivariable logistic regression models.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Three thousand six hundred seventy-five patients from the ADAPT-HR+/HER2− cohort (≤50 years and premenopausal, ≤50 years: <em>N</em> = 1250; >50 years or postmenopausal, >50 years: <em>N</em> = 2425) and 4239 from the ADAPTcycle screening cohort (≤50 years: <em>N</em> = 1336; >50 years: <em>N</em> = 2903) were analyzed.

Premenopausal patients with GnRH plus AI had similar ET response rates as postmenopausal patients.

Postmenopausal patients (mostly receiving AI) had higher ET response rates than younger patients. However, young patients with GnRH+AI had ET response rates comparable with those of postmenopausal patients, suggesting that therapy rather than biology accounts for the difference.
