NCIt synonyms : Autologous Anti-BCMA CAR-T Cells CT103A; Autologous Anti-BCMA CAR-transduced T-cells CT103A; Autologous Anti-BCMA CAR T Cells CT103A;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been transduced with a lentiviral
vector expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) with a fully human single chain
variable fragment (scFv) targeting the human tumor-associated antigen (TAA) B-cell
maturation antigen (BCMA; tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17; TNFRSF17),
with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration,
equecabtagene autoleucel specifically recognize and induce selective toxicity in BCMA-expressing
tumor cells. BCMA, a receptor for both a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) and
B-cell activating factor (BAFF), is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor
superfamily (TNFRSF). BCMA is found on the surfaces of plasma cells, is overexpressed
on malignant plasma cells, and plays a key role in plasma cell proliferation and survival.;
