NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express
a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA;
tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17; TNFRSF17), with potential immunostimulating
and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, autologous BCMA-targeted CAR T
cells CC-98633 specifically recognize and kill BCMA-expressing tumor cells. BCMA,
a tumor specific antigen and a receptor for both a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL)
and B-cell activating factor (BAFF), is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF)
receptor superfamily and plays a key role in plasma cell survival; it is found on
the surfaces of plasma cells and overexpressed on malignant plasma cells.;
