NCIt synonyms : HEMO-CAR-T; Autologous Anti-FLT3 CAR T-cells HG-CT-1; Autologous Anti-FLT3 CAR T Cells HG-CT-1;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes genetically modified with a chimeric antigen
receptor (CAR) specific for the tumor-associated antigen FMS-like tyrosine kinase
3 (FLT3; CD135; STK1; FLK2), with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities.
Upon administration, autologous anti-FLT3 CAR-T cells HG-CT-1 target and bind to tumor
cells expressing FLT3, which results in the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated
cell killing of FLT3-expressing tumor cells. FLT3, a class III receptor tyrosine kinase
(RTK), is overexpressed or mutated in most B-lineage neoplasms and in acute myeloid
leukemias (AMLs).;
