NCIt synonyms : Autologous Anti-CLL-1-CAR T-cells KITE-222; Autologous Anti-CLL1-CAR-T Cells KITE-222; Autologous Anti-CLL1 CAR T Cells KITE-222;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)
specific for the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) C-type-lectin-like molecule-1 (CLL-1;
CLL1; C-type lectin domain family 12 member A; CLEC12A), with potential immunomodulating
and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, the autologous anti-CLL-1-CAR
T-lymphocytes KITE-222 specifically target and bind to CLL-1-expressing tumor cells.
This induces selective toxicity in tumor cells that express the CLL-1 antigen. CLL-1,
a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily, is
overexpressed in leukemic stem cells (LSCs) and plays an important role in disease
progression and relapse for myeloid malignancies.;
