Cellular gene therapy (CAR T-cell)
drug_description
Autologous CAR T-cell gene therapy made by non-viral electroporation of CD3+ T cells to express a mesothelin-specific CAR (alpaca VHH, CD28, CD3ζ) and to secrete anti-PD-1 nanobody and anti-CTLA-4 antibody for local checkpoint blockade in MSLN+ solid tumors.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Autologous T cells are engineered via non-viral electroporation to express a mesothelin-targeted CAR (alpaca VHH binder with CD28 costimulation and CD3ζ signaling) that mediates antigen-specific cytotoxicity against MSLN+ tumor cells. The cells also secrete an anti-PD-1 nanobody and an anti-CTLA-4 antibody to provide local checkpoint blockade within the tumor microenvironment, enhancing T-cell activation, proliferation, and persistence while reducing exhaustion and Treg-mediated suppression.
