NCIt synonyms : Claudin18.2-redirected Autologous Cells; Autologous Anti-Claudin18.2 CAR-T Cells; Autologous CAR-CLD18 T Cells; Autologous CAR-CLD18.2 T Cells; Autologous Anti-Claudin18.2-transduced T Lymphocytes CT041;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes ex vivo transduced with a lentiviral vector
encoding for a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the tumor-associated antigen
(TAA) Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2; A2 isoform of claudin-18), with potential immunostimulating
and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, satricabtagene autoleucel specifically
recognize and induce selective toxicity in CLDN18.2-expressing tumor cells. CLDN18.2,
a tight junction protein, is expressed on a variety of tumor cells, but its expression
in healthy tissues is strictly confined to short-lived differentiated epithelial cells
of the gastric mucosa.;
