drug_description
Gene-modified natural killer (NK) cells engineered to express an NKG2D-based chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that recognizes NKG2D ligands (MICA, MICB, ULBP family) on tumor cells, activating NK cytotoxicity for treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Gene‑modified NK cells expressing an NKG2D‑based CAR recognize stress‑induced NKG2D ligands (MICA, MICB, ULBP family) on tumor cells. CAR signaling activates NK cytotoxic functions, inducing degranulation (perforin/granzyme), cytokine‑mediated killing, and apoptosis of malignant cells, targeting relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma.
