CAR T - Cell Therapy: Understanding
CAR T - Cell Therapy: Overview
Chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are recombinant receptors for antigens which redirect the specificity and function of T lymphocytes and/or other immune cells in a single molecule. Cancer Immunotherapy utilizes and enhances the immune system's standard capacity and is considered one of the most promising approaches for treating various diseases (including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and allergic–hypersensitivity reactions) are severe. CAR T-cells are the fusion proteins of a selected single-chain fragment variable from a specific monoclonal antibody and one or more T-cell receptor intracellular signaling domains. A CAR combines antigen-binding domains-most commonly, a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) derived from the variable domains of antibodies with the signalling domains of the TCR chain and additional costimulatory domains from receptors, such as CD28, OX40, and CD137.
CAR T-cell therapy involves genetic modification of a patient's autologous T-cells to express a CAR, specific for a tumor antigen, followed by ex vivo cell expansion and re-infusion back to the patient.
As shown in the below figure, the extracellular domain of the CAR consists of the antigen-binding moiety and a spacer. These antigen-binding moieties could be:
• an scFv (single-chain fragment variable), derived from antibodies
• a human Fab fragment, selected from phage display libraries
• nature ligands that engage their cognate receptor
Report Highlights
• In February 2022, Fully human anti-B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy (CT103A) received orphan drug designation (ODD) from the FDA for the treatment of relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM), according to a press release by IASO Biotherapeutics.
• In March 2022, JW Therapeutics announced that it has received the Investigational New Drug (IND) clearance from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China for a pivotal clinical trial of its anti-CD19 autologous chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell immunotherapy product Carteyva (relmacabtagene autoleucel injection) in the treatment of second-line large B-Cell lymphoma.

Product Description: CT 103A
CT103A is an innovative therapy co-developed by IASO BIO and Innovent. Previous studies indicate patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) who received high-dose BCMA-targeting CAR-T cells may achieve better remission but have worse adverse events. Moreover, once the disease progresses again, the re-infusion of CAR-T cells is not effective. To solve this dilemma, CT103A has been developed, a lentiviral vector containing a CAR structure with a fully human scFv, CD8a hinger and transmembrane, 4-1BB co-stimulatory and CD3z activation domains. Based on strict selection and screening, utilizing a proprietary in-house optimization platform, the construct of the CT103A CAR-T is potent and persistent. According to the company’s pipeline, the drug is currently in Phase III stage of clinical trial evaluation to treat multiple myeloma.
