NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that has been genetically engineered to
express a switchable, alpha-peptide neo-epitope (PNE) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)
with a binding domain that can recognize a 14 aa peptide epitope, or PNE, of an antigen-specific
adapter molecule, with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon
administration, autologous alpha-PNE switchable CAR-T (sCAR-T) cells CLBR001 remain
inactivated. Upon administration of an antigen-specific adapter molecule, the binding
domain of CLBR001 binds to the PNE of the adapter molecule, and CLBR001 is activated.
This induces selective toxicity in and causes lysis of tumor cells expressing the
specific antigen.;
