drug_description
Autologous T lymphocytes genetically modified to express dual chimeric antigen receptors targeting CD19 and CD20; binding activates CAR signaling to mediate expansion and cytotoxic elimination of B-cell malignancies while aiming to reduce antigen-loss escape.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Autologous T cells are genetically engineered to express dual chimeric antigen receptors recognizing CD19 and CD20 on B cells. Antigen binding triggers CAR signaling (CD3ζ with costimulatory domains), driving T‑cell activation, expansion, cytokine release, and perforin/granzyme‑mediated cytotoxic killing of malignant B cells. Dual targeting aims to reduce antigen‑loss escape; on‑target effects include B‑cell aplasia.
