  • Publication number: 20250041416
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical combination comprising (i) a first component selected from an immune effector cell (e.g., a T cell and an NK cell) expressing a molecular switch-regulated CAR polypeptide, a nucleic acid molecule encoding the CAR polypeptide, a vector comprising the nucleic acid molecule, and any combination thereof; and (ii) a second component, which is an antibody that contains a P329G mutation and specifically binds to a B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) protein. The present invention also relates to a kit comprising the pharmaceutical combination, and the use of the pharmaceutical combination in the treatment of BCMA-related diseases in a subject.

  • Publication number: 20250009801
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a molecular switch regulation type chimeric antigen receptor polypeptide, containing a humanized anti-P329G mutant scFv sequence, a hinge region/spacer region, a transmembrane region, a costimulatory signal domain, and a stimulation signal domain; an immune effector cell engineered to express the molecular switch regulation type chimeric antigen receptor polypeptide; and a method for preparing the immune effector cell. The present invention further relates to a P329G mutant antibody capable of specifically binding CLDN18.2 molecules and a method for preparing the P329G mutant antibody. A pharmaceutical combination containing the immune effector cell and the P329G mutant antibody can be used for treating diseases related to CLDN18.2, such as cancer expressing or overexpressing CLDN18.2.
