Genetically engineered cellular therapy (NK cell)
drug_description
Engineered allogeneic cord blood–derived natural killer cells expressing an HLA-A*02:01–restricted T-cell receptor specific for PRAME to enable antigen-specific recognition and cytotoxic killing of PRAME-positive myeloid blasts.

PRAME-targeting TCR-engineered NK Cells
nci_thesaurus_definition
A preparation of natural killer (NK) cells that are engineered to express a T-cell receptor (TCR) specific for the tumor-associated antigen (TAA) preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, the PRAME-targeting TCR-engineered NK cells specifically recognize and bind to PRAME expressed on cancer cells, thereby lysing the PRAME-expressing cancer cells. PRAME is overexpressed by a variety of cancer cell types.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Allogeneic cord blood-derived NK cells engineered to express an HLA-A*02:01-restricted T-cell receptor specific for PRAME. The TCR recognizes PRAME peptide-HLA-A*02:01 complexes on tumor cells, leading to antigen-specific NK activation and cytotoxic lysis (perforin/granzyme) of PRAME-positive myeloid blasts.
