NCIt synonyms : Autologous GPRC5D CAR T Cells OriCAR-017; Autologous GPRC5D-directed CAR T-cells OriCAR-017; Autologous Anti-GPRC5D CAR T-cells OriCAR-017; Autologous GPRC5D-targeted CAR T-cells OriCAR-017;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes engineered to express a chimeric antigen
receptor (CAR) specific for the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) human G-protein coupled
receptor family C group 5 member D (GPRC5D), with potential immunostimulating and
antineoplastic activities. Upon leukapheresis, isolation, transduction, expansion
ex vivo, and reintroduction into the patient, the autologous anti-GPRC5D CAR-T cells
OriCAR-017 specifically recognize and induce selective toxicity in GPRC5D-expressing
tumor cells. GPRC5D is overexpressed in certain malignancies, such as multiple myeloma,
while minimally expressed in normal, healthy cells. It plays a key role in tumor cell
proliferation. OriCAR-017 contains a signal activation domain element that may improve
CAR-T cells expansion and durability.;
