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.
BCL-2 inhibitor; venetoclax is a selective, orally bioavailable small-molecule that restores apoptosis by binding directly to the BCL-2 protein, displacing pro-apoptotic proteins like BIM and triggering mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization and activation of caspases.
