Pharmacology
Elotuzumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets SLAMF7 on myeloma cells and natural killer (NK) cells, directly activating NK cells through the SLAMF7 pathway and mediating killing of myeloma cells via antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP).
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.
