drug_mechanism_of_action
Autologous T cells are genetically engineered to express a BCMA-directed chimeric antigen receptor containing CD3ζ signaling plus CD28 or 4-1BB co-stimulation. The CAR enables HLA-independent recognition of BCMA on malignant plasma cells, triggering T-cell activation, proliferation, cytokine release, and perforin/granzyme-mediated cytotoxic killing of BCMA-positive cells.
