T cells engineered with a receptor that sees fragments of proteins inside the cancer cell, reaching targets CAR-T cannot.
Afamitresgene autoleucel (Tecelra) was the first approved TCR-T, for MAGE-A4+ HLA-A*02+ synovial sarcoma (2024, label expanded 2026). Letetresgene (NY-ESO-1) followed in trials. Neoantigen-specific TCR-T against KRAS G12D and TP53 hotspots (NCI Rosenberg) and PRAME-directed TCR-T (Immatics IMA203, phase 3 in melanoma) are the most watched.
Transgenic αβ TCR recognises a peptide-HLA complex; restricted to patients with the matching HLA allele.
Nothing in the corpus depends on this yet.
Dependencies are what this technology cannot be delivered without: manufacturing steps, instruments, software, upstream methods. See its full chain on the map.
Afamitresgene autoleucel was the first engineered T-cell receptor therapy approved for a solid tumour, synovial sarcoma.
Letetresgene autoleucel is a second engineered T-cell receptor therapy for sarcoma, targeting NY-ESO-1 in synovial sarcoma and myxoid/round cell liposarcoma; a BLA is expected by the end of 2026.
TAC01-CLDN18.2 is an experimental TCR-T cell therapy from Triumvira Immunologics in phase 2 trials, aimed at Claudin 18.2.
The first drug to improve survival in metastatic uveal melanoma, and the first TCR-based bispecific.
