Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A preparation of autologous T-lymphocytes transduced with the gamma retroviral vector MSGV1 expressing a chimeric T-cell antigen receptor (CAR) consisting of a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) from a specific antibody clone (mAb139) that targets a mutant form of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) known as variant III (EGFRvIII; EGFR-vIII), with potential antineoplastic activity. Upon intratumoral administration, the gamma-retroviral MSGV1 139 scFv EGFRvIII CAR gene-modified T-cells specifically target and bind to tumor cells expressing EGFRvIII, leading to selective cytotoxicity in EGFRvIII-expressing tumor cells. EGFRvIII, a tumor-associated antigen (TAA) encoded by an in-frame deletion of exons 2-7 in the EGFR gene, is specifically overexpressed by a subset of tumor cells and is not expressed in normal, healthy cells. It plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation, tumor angiogenesis and radio- and chemoresistance.

Autologous gamma-retroviral msgv1 139 scfv egfrviii car gene-modified t cells has been investigated in 1 clinical trial, of which 0 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trial investigating autologous gamma-retroviral msgv1 139 scfv egfrviii car gene-modified t cells, 1 is phase 1 (0 open).

EGFR Exons 2-7 Skipping is the most frequent biomarker inclusion criterion for autologous gamma-retroviral msgv1 139 scfv egfrviii car gene-modified t cells clinical trials.

Glioblastoma and gliosarcoma are the most common diseases being investigated in autologous gamma-retroviral msgv1 139 scfv egfrviii car gene-modified t cells clinical trials [2].
