NCIt synonyms : Autologous ICAM-1-targeted CAR T Cells AIC100; Autologous ICAM-1-targeted CAR T-lymphocytes AIC100; Autologous ICAM-1-targeted CAR T-cells AIC100; CAR T-cells AIC100;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been transduced with a lentiviral
vector to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) containing the Inserted (I) domain
variant of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) which targets intercellular
adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1 or CD54), and the co-stimulatory signaling domains of
CD28, 4-1BB (CD137) and CD3zeta, with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic
activities. Upon administration, autologous anti-ICAM-1-CAR-CD28-4-1BB-CD3zeta-expressing
T-cells AIC100 recognize and kill ICAM-1-expressing tumor cells. ICAM-1, normally
expressed on leukocytes and endothelial cells, may be overexpressed in a variety of
cancers. CAR T-cells AIC100 are also engineered to express somatostatin receptor subtype
2 (SSTR2), allowing the imaging of the CAR T-cells in patients.;
