Pharmacology
CARVYKTI is a BCMA-directed, genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy that reprograms a patient's own T cells with a transgene encoding a CAR featuring two BCMA-targeting single-domain antibodies, a 4-1BB co-stimulatory domain, and a CD3-zeta signaling domain; upon binding to BCMA-expressing cells, the CAR promotes T cell activation, expansion, and elimination of target cells.
Carfilzomib is a tetrapeptide epoxyketone proteasome inhibitor that irreversibly binds to the N-terminal threonine-containing active sites of the 20S proteasome within the 26S proteasome, producing antiproliferative and proapoptotic effects in hematologic and solid tumor cells.
