Pharmacology
Glofitamab-gxbm is a bispecific CD20-directed CD3 T-cell engager that binds CD20 on B cells and CD3 on T cells, causing T-cell activation and proliferation, cytokine secretion, and lysis of CD20-expressing B cells.
KYMRIAH is a CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy that reprograms a patient's own T cells with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to identify and eliminate CD19-expressing malignant and normal cells; the CAR incorporates 4-1BB (CD137) and CD3 zeta intracellular signaling domains that enhance T cell expansion, persistence, and antitumor activity.
