NCIt synonyms : Multiple Antigen Specific Endogenously Derived T Cells; MASE-T Cells; Multiple Antigen-specific Endogenously-derived T-cells;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-cells targeting multiple antigens expressed by melanoma
cells, with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Peripheral blood
T-cells from the patient are collected, processed with artificial antigen-presenting
scaffolds, and enriched and expanded ex-vivo to generate multiple antigen-specific
endogenously-derived T-cells (MASE-T) targeting multiple antigens expressed by melanoma
cells. Upon administration, the autologous multiple antigen-specific T-cells MASE-T
are re-introduced into the patient, where they target and kill melanoma cells expressing
these specific antigens.;
