drug_description
Autologous, non–genetically engineered, ex vivo–expanded polyclonal multi–tumor-associated antigen (multiTAA)–specific T-cell therapy that recognizes multiple shared TAAs on pancreatic adenocarcinoma via native, MHC-restricted TCRs to mediate cytotoxic killing and cytokine-driven immune activation.

nci_thesaurus_definition
A preparation of autologous, ex vivo-expanded, CD4- and CD8-positive T-lymphocytes specific for six tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), with potential immunomodulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration of neldaleucel, the T-cells target, bind to and induce selective toxicity in cancer cells overexpressing one or more of these six TAAs. By targeting more than one antigen, neldaleucel may be able to induce a better and more durable anti-tumor response due to its ability to overcome antigen loss.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Autologous, ex vivo-expanded polyclonal CD4+/CD8+ T cells with native, MHC-restricted TCRs specific for multiple shared tumor-associated antigens on pancreatic adenocarcinoma. After infusion, these T cells recognize antigen-MHC complexes on tumor cells and mediate cytotoxic killing (perforin/granzyme) and cytokine-driven immune activation; multi-antigen targeting reduces antigen-loss escape and may improve durability.
