Pharmacology
CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy; binding of anti-CD19 CAR T cells to CD19-expressing target cells activates CD28 and CD3-zeta co-stimulatory signaling cascades leading to T cell activation, proliferation, acquisition of effector functions, secretion of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, and killing of CD19-expressing cancer and normal B cells.
Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory agent that mediates cellular activities through binding to cereblon, a component of a cullin ring E3 ubiquitin ligase enzyme complex, leading to degradation of substrate proteins and resulting in direct cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects.
