Gene-modified cellular immunotherapy (CAR T cells)
drug_description
Gene-modified T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptors targeting GD2 and B7-H3; administered primarily as autologous cells with option for healthy-donor T cells if autologous cells are unsuitable. Designed for MHC-independent tumor recognition, T-cell activation, cytokine release, and cytotoxic killing to reduce antigen escape in GD2/B7-H3–expressing tumors.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Gene-modified T cells expressing CARs against GD2 and B7-H3 recognize these antigens on tumor cells independent of MHC, triggering T-cell activation, cytokine release, proliferation, and cytotoxic killing; dual-antigen targeting is intended to reduce antigen escape in GD2/B7-H3–expressing tumors.
