Cellular immunotherapy (CAR T cells)
drug_description
An autologous CD7-directed CAR T-cell therapy in which a patient’s T cells are engineered to express a CAR targeting CD7; engagement triggers cytotoxic activity to eliminate CD7-positive malignant T lymphoblasts and also depletes normal CD7+ T and NK cells.

nci_thesaurus_definition
A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes that have been genetically engineered to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) directed against the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) CD7, with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon intravenous administration, the autologous anti-CD7 CAR T-cells SENL101 specifically recognize and bind to CD7-expressing tumor cells, resulting in specific T-cell-mediated tumor cell lysis. CD7 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells and their precursors. It is expressed in the majority of lymphoblastic T-cell leukemias and lymphomas and in a subset of peripheral T-cell lymphomas.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Autologous T cells are engineered ex vivo to express a CD7-specific chimeric antigen receptor; after infusion, CAR T cells bind CD7 on target cells, activate, and mediate cytotoxic killing of CD7-positive malignant T lymphoblasts, with on-target depletion of normal CD7+ T and NK cells.
