Pharmacology
BREYANZI is a CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy; CAR binding to CD19 on tumor and normal B cells triggers CD3 zeta-mediated activation and cytotoxic killing of target cells, while 4-1BB (CD137) costimulatory signaling enhances CAR T cell expansion and persistence.
Bendamustine is a bifunctional mechlorethamine derivative containing a benzimidazole ring that forms electrophilic alkyl groups, which create covalent interstrand DNA crosslinks leading to cell death via multiple pathways; it is active against both quiescent and dividing cells.
