NCIt synonyms : Autologous Anti-CDH17 CAR T-cells CHM-2101; Autologous Anti-cadherin-17 CAR-T Cells CHM-2101; CDH17 CAR T Cells CHM-2101; Autologous Anti-CDH17 CAR T Cells CHM-2101;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes transduced with a lentiviral vector expressing
a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) cadherin-17
(CDH17), with potential immunomodulatory and antineoplastic activities. After isolation,
transduction, and expansion in culture, the autologous anti-CDH17 CAR-T cells CHM-2101
are reintroduced into the patient and are directed to tumor cells expressing CDH17,
which may result in a selective toxicity against, and lysis of CDH17-expressing tumor
cells. CDH17, a cell surface adhesion protein, is overexpressed in a variety of cancer
cell types.;
