NCIt synonyms : Autologous ROR1-targeted CAR T Cells BMS-986403;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes genetically modified to express a chimeric
antigen receptor (CAR) targeting the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) receptor tyrosine
kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1), with potential immunomodulatory and antineoplastic
activities. After isolation, transduction, expansion and reintroduction into the patient,
the autologous anti-ROR1 CAR-T cells BMS-986403 are directed to, bind to, and induce
selective toxicity in tumor cells expressing ROR1. ROR1, also known as neurotrophic
tyrosine kinase, receptor-related 1 (NTRKR1), is expressed during embryogenesis and
in various hematological and solid malignancies. It plays key roles in tumor cell
proliferation and survival.;
