NCIt synonyms : Autologous Anti-CD19/CD20 OR-gate CAR T-cells IMPT-314; Autologous Anti-CD19/CD20 CAR T Cells IMPT-314; Autologous Anti-CD19/CD20 Bispecific CAR-T Cells IMPT-314;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes engineered to express a chimeric antigen
receptor (CAR) specific for the two tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) cluster of differentiation
19 (CD19) and CD20, with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities.
Upon administration, rondecabtagene autoleucel targets and binds to CD19- and CD20-expressing
tumor B-cells. This induces selective toxicity in tumor B-cells expressing these TAAs.
Both CD19 and CD20 are B-cell-specific cell surface antigens overexpressed in B-cell
lineage malignancies. Targeting both CD19 and CD20 may prevent tumor cell antigen
escape and relapse.;
