Cellular therapy (CAR T cells)
drug_description
An autologous, gene-modified CAR T-cell therapy that co-targets CD19 and CD20. Patient T cells are engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor recognizing CD19 and CD20 on B cells; antigen binding triggers T-cell activation, cytotoxic killing, cytokine release, and in vivo expansion, resulting in deep B-cell depletion and aiming to reduce antigen escape versus single-antigen approaches.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Autologous T cells are gene-modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor that recognizes both CD19 and CD20 on B cells. CAR engagement activates the T cells, driving cytotoxic killing, cytokine release, and in vivo expansion, resulting in profound depletion of CD19+/CD20+ B cells and reducing antigen-escape compared with single-antigen CARs.
