NCIt synonyms : Autologous Anti-MSLN CAR T-cells TAK-103; CAR T Cells TAK-103; Autologous Anti-mesothelin CAR-T Cells TAK-103;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express
a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for the human tumor-associated antigen
(TAA) mesothelin (MSLN) and simultaneously produce interleukin-7 (IL-7) and C-C motif
chemokine 19 (CCL19), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities.
After isolation, transduction, expansion and reintroduction into the patient, the
autologous anti-MSLN CAR-T cells TAK-103 specifically target and kill MSLN-expressing
tumor cells. Mesothelin, a cell surface glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion, is
overexpressed in a variety of cancer cell types. IL-7 promotes the proliferation and
survival of T-cells. CCL19 enhances the migration of T-cells and dendritic cells (DCs).;
