NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1; PDCD1; CD279)-positive
T-lymphocytes transduced with a lentivirus expressing a chimeric antigen receptor
(CAR) specific for the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) trophoblast cell surface protein
2 (trophoblast antigen 2; tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2; TROP2; TROP-2;
TACSTD2; GA733-1; M1S1), with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities.
Upon administration, autologous TROP2-CAR-transduced PD-1-positive T-cells T60c target,
bind to and induce selective cytotoxicity in TROP2-expressing tumor cells. TROP2 is
a transmembrane protein overexpressed in various tumors. Its expression is associated
with enhanced tumor aggressiveness, metastasis, drug resistance and increased tumor
cell survival.;
