NCIt definition : A recombinant antibody derivative composed of tri-specific T-cell activating construct
(TriTAC) directed against the human tumor-associated antigen (TAA) B-cell maturation
antigen (BCMA; TNFRSF17), the epsilon domain of CD3 antigen (CD3e) found on T-lymphocytes,
and albumin, with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon
administration, BCMA/CD3e TriTAC HPN217 targets and binds to BCMA on tumor cells and
CD3e on cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs), thereby bringing BCMA-expressing tumor cells
and CTLs together, which results in the CTL-mediated cell death of BCMA-expressing
tumor cells. The albumin-binding domain targets and binds to serum albumin, thereby
extending the serum half-life of HPN217. BCMA, a member of the tumor necrosis factor
receptor superfamily (TNFRSF), is overexpressed on malignant plasma cells and plays
a key role in plasma cell survival.;
