Interleukin-1 cytokines are key proinflammatory cytokines which have been implicated with differing pro- and antitumorigenic properties. Recent years have brought exciting insights and developments in IL-1-targeted therapies. Here, we present an overview of past and present research focusing on the role of IL-1 in cancer, with a special focus on clinical research and on therapeutic implications. With this, we strive to assist scientists in their future research objectives and to highlight possible directions for IL-1-targeting therapies in the coming years. Since its discovery, interleukin-1 has been extensively studied in a wide range of medical fields. Besides carrying out vital physiological functions, it has been implicated with a pivotal role in the progression and spreading of different cancer entities. During the last years, several clinical trials have been conducted, shedding light on the role of IL-1 blocking agents for the treatment of cancer. Additionally, recent developments in the field of immuno-oncology have implicated IL-1- induced signaling cascades as a major driver of severe chimeric antigen receptor T cell-associated toxicities such as cytokine release syndrome and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity. In this review, we summarize current clinical trials investigating the role of IL-1 blockade in cancer treatment and elaborate the proposed mechanism of these innovative treatment approaches. Additionally, we highlight cutting-edge developments utilizing IL-1 blocking agents to enhance the safety and efficacy of adoptive T cell therapy.
