The present invention relates to the use of T cell redirecting, bispecific, in particular trifunctional, antibodies for the treatment of a cancer disease, wherein said antibody is administered via the subcutaneous route. Thereby, the release of proinflammatory cytokines is reduced and, simultaneously, the release of inhibitory cytokines is substantially suppressed. That treatment by bispecific, in particular trifunctional, antibodies may be combined in a combination therapy with other anti-cancer drugs.
