Autologous TCR-T cell therapy
drug_description
Autologous TCR-engineered T-cell therapy expressing a transgenic TCR specific for the KRAS G12D neoantigen presented by HLA-C*08:02; infused cells recognize the KRAS G12D peptide–HLA complex on tumor cells and mediate cytotoxic killing.

Autologous KRAS G12D-specific HLA-C*08:02-restricted TCR Gene Engineered T-lymphocytes NT-112
nci_thesaurus_definition
A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically modified to express a T-cell receptor (TCR) specific for the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-C*08:02-restricted oncogenic K-RAS (KRAS) substitution mutation G12D, with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon isolation, transduction, expansion ex vivo and re-introduction into the patient, the autologous KRAS G12D-specific HLA-C*08:02-restricted TCR gene engineered T-lymphocytes NT-112 target and bind to KRAS G12D-expressing tumor cells, resulting in cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated killing of KRAS-G12D-expressing tumor cells. KRAS, a member of the RAS family of oncogenes, serves an important role in cell signaling, division and differentiation. Mutations of KRAS may induce constitutive signal transduction leading to tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Autologous T cells are genetically engineered to express an HLA-C*08:02–restricted TCR that recognizes the KRAS G12D neoantigen. After infusion, these TCR-T cells bind the KRAS G12D peptide–HLA complex on tumor cells, become activated, and mediate cytotoxic T-lymphocyte killing of KRAS G12D–expressing cancer cells.
