NCIt synonyms : Autologous MM-associated Antigens Specific T Cells NEXI-002; NEXI-002 T Cells; TAA Primed Antigen-specific CD8 T Cells NEXI-002;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-cells targeting several multiple myeloma (MM)-associated
antigens, with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Peripheral
blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from the patient are collected and ex vivo exposed
to nanoparticles that mimic antigen-presenting cells (APCs) loaded with multiple MM-associated
antigens, including Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1), CD138 (syndecan-1; SDC1), cancer-testis
antigen NY-ESO-1 and CS1 (CD319; CRACC; SLAMF7), and are further enriched and expanded
ex-vivo before being re-introduced into the patient. Upon administration, the multi-antigen-directed
autologous T-cells NEXI-002 are re-introduced into the patient, where they target
and kill tumor cells expressing these antigens.;
