Preferred Label : Autologous Anti-mesothelin TNhYP218 CAR T-cells;
NCIt synonyms : Autologous Anti-MSLN hYP218 CAR Naive and Stem Cell-like Memory T-cells; Autologous Anti-MSLN TNhYP218 CAR T-cells; Autologous Anti-mesothelin TNaive/SCM hYP218 CAR T Cells;
NCIt definition : A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes containing primarily naive and stem cell-like
memory (scm) T-cells that have been genetically modified to express a chimeric antigen
receptor (CAR) specific for the membrane-proximal region of the human tumor-associated
antigen (TAA) mesothelin (MSLN), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic
activities. Upon administration, autologous anti-MSLN TNhYP218 CAR T-cells specifically
target the membrane-proximal region of MSLN and kill MSLN-expressing tumor cells.
Mesothelin, a cell surface glycoprotein involved in cell adhesion, is overexpressed
in a variety of cancer cell types. Targeting the membrane-proximal region of MSLN
may increase the killing of tumor cells and improve T-cell persistence. Naive and
scm T-cells may exhibit increased persistence and decreased exhaustion.;
