NCIt definition : A proprietary preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically modified
and transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing a second-generation chimeric antigen
receptor (CAR) targeting the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) CD19 and containing, as
of yet undisclosed, costimulatory signaling domains, with potential immunostimulating
and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, autologous anti-CD19 CAR T-cells
C-CAR011 target and bind to CD19-expressing tumor cells, thereby inducing selective
toxicity in CD19-expressing tumor cells. CD19 antigen is a B-cell specific cell surface
antigen expressed in all B-cell lineage malignancies.;
