Cellular gene therapy (autologous CAR T-cell therapy)
drug_description
An autologous anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. Patient T cells are genetically engineered to express an anti-CD19 CAR; upon engagement of CD19 on B-lineage malignant cells, the CAR T cells activate and mediate cytotoxicity, leading to elimination of CD19+ tumor cells and on-target B-cell depletion. Administered as a single IV infusion (0.5–6×10^6 cells/kg).

drug_mechanism_of_action
Autologous patient T cells are engineered to express an anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor; upon binding CD19 on B-lineage malignant cells, the CAR T cells activate, proliferate, and mediate cytotoxic killing, eliminating CD19-positive tumor cells and causing on-target B-cell depletion.
