NCIt definition : A preparation of genetically modified autologous T-cells expressing a chimeric antigen
receptor recognizing the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) cluster of differentiation
38 (CD38), with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon intravenous
administration, autologous anti-CD38 A2 CAR2-expressing T-cells are directed to and
induce selective toxicity in CD38-expressing tumor cells. CD38, a type II transmembrane
glycoprotein, is present on various immune cells and hematologic malignancies, and
its expression has been correlated with poor prognosis.;
