Autogene Cevumeran
nci_thesaurus_definition
An mRNA-based individualized, therapeutic cancer vaccine targeting an unspecified amount of tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) that are specifically expressed in the patients cancer, with potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, autogene cevumeran is taken up and translated by antigen presenting cells (APCs) and the expressed protein is presented via major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on the surface of the APCs. This leads to an induction of both cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)- and memory T-cell-dependent immune responses against cancer cells expressing the TAA(s).

drug_mechanism_of_action
Individualized intravenous mRNA vaccine encoding patient-specific neoantigens; taken up by dendritic cells, translated into neoantigen peptides, and presented on MHC I/II to prime and expand tumor-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells, generating cytotoxic and memory responses against neoantigen-expressing tumor cells.
