My husband had TIL therapy this summer and has had three infusions of the BMS CA209-004 ipi/ nivolumbab trial. His hemoglobin level is at 6.6 and his LDH rose to 1000. His LDH is usually around 200. He had blood work and tested positive for hemolytic anemia. He had two units of blood last Wednesday and was put on steroids two days ago. He had to get two units of blood again last night. His doctors are being very cautious, but I am so worried. Could this complication take him out of the trial? Does the steroid effect the efficacy of the treatment?
