Project description:TNB-383B is a fully human BCMA-targeting T-cell engaging bispecific monoclonal antibody (T-BsAb). We assessed ex vivo efficacy of this drug to mediate killing of bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) freshly isolated from 10 patients with relapsed multiple myeloma (MM). BMMC were treated ex vivo with TNB-383B at doses ranging from 0.001-1 μg. Plasma cell (PC) lysis, viability, BCMA expression, CTL distribution, and degranulation were assessed by flow cytometry. Cytokine response to TNB-383B was quantified by multiplex protein assay. Dose-dependent PC lysis was triggered in all cases by TNB-383B at doses as low as 0.001 μg (P = .0102). Primary MM cells varied in BCMA expression. High BCMA+ PC count correlated with increased PC lysis (P = .005) and significant CTL degranulation specific to TNB-383B treatment (P = .0153 at 1 μg). High E:T ratio in bone marrow specimens led to lower viable and higher apoptotic PC compared with low E:T ratio (P < .001). Three cytokines were significantly modulated by TNB-383B: IL-2/TNFα increased by ∼4 ± 3.5-fold average (P < .005 at 1 μg) and IP10 increased by ∼50 ± 15-fold (P < .001 at 1 μg). We conclude that TNB-383B triggers primary PC lysis and CTL degranulation in a dose-dependent fashion ex vivo with no T cell expansion and mild increase of CRS-associated cytokines.

Project description:The low rate of durable response against relapsed and/or refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) in recent studies indicates that chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) treatment is yet to be optimized. This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of sequential infusion of CD19-CART and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-CARTs for RRMM with a similar 3 + 3 dose escalation combined with a toxicity sentinel design. We enrolled 10 patients, among whom 7 received autologous infusion and 3 received allogeneic infusion. The median follow-up time was 20 months. The most common grade 3/4 treatment-emergent toxicities were hematological toxicities. Cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) adverse reactions were grade 1/2 in 9 out of 10 subjects. No dose-limited toxicity (DLT) was observed for BCMA-CAR-positive T cells ≤5 × 107 /kg), while two patients with dose-levels of 5-6.5 × 107 /kg experienced DLTs. The overall response rate was 90% (five partial responses and four stringent complete responses). Three out of four patients with stringent complete responses to autologous CART had progression-free survival for over 2 years. The three patients with allogeneic CART experienced disease progression within 2 months. These results evidence the sequential infusion's preliminarily tolerability and efficacy in RRMM, and present a simple and safe design applicable for the establishment of multiple CART therapy.

Project description:We report on a currently 76-year-old female patient with relapsed/refractory (RR) multiple myeloma (MM) treated at our institution. This patient had received six lines of therapy including tandem autologous stem cell transplant, proteasome inhibitor, immunomodulatory drugs and CD38 antibody MOR202. At the last relapse, she progressed during treatment with pomalidomide and MOR202. In an individualized therapy concept, we started a multi-agent salvage therapy with pomalidomide, bortezomib, doxorubicin, dexamethasone, and CD38 antibody daratumumab ("Pom-PAD-Dara"), which resulted in a stringent complete remission with minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity after nine cycles. So far, our patient shows a progression free survival of more than 12 months. Our case demonstrates the feasibility of successful CD38 antibody retreatment in a patient with heavily pretreated CD38 antibody resistant MM.

Project description:Multiple myeloma is a heterogeneous clonal malignant plasma cell disorder, which remains incurable despite the therapeutic armamentarium's evolution. Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) can bind simultaneously to the CD3 T-cell receptor and tumor antigen of myeloma cells, causing cell lysis. This systematic review of phase I/II/III clinical trials aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of BsAbs in relapsed refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). A thorough literature search was performed using PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and major conference abstracts. A total of 18 phase I/II/III studies, including 1283 patients, met the inclusion criteria. Among the B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-targeting agents across 13 studies, the overall response rate (ORR) ranged between 25% and 100%, with complete response/stringent complete response (CR/sCR) between 7 and 38%, very good partial response (VGPR) between 5 and 92%, and partial response (PR) between 5 and 14%. Among the non-BCMA-targeting agents across five studies, the ORR ranged between 60 and 100%, with CR/sCR seen in 19-63%, and VGPR in 21-65%. The common adverse events were cytokine release syndrome (17-82%), anemia (5-52%), neutropenia (12-75%), and thrombocytopenia (14-42%). BsAbs have shown promising efficacy against RRMM cohorts with a good safety profile. Upcoming phase II/III trials are much awaited, along with the study of other agents in concert with BsAbs to gauge response.

Project description:IntroductionThis phase 1 trial assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary antitumor activity of RO7297089, an anti-BCMA/CD16a bispecific antibody.MethodsRO7297089 was administered weekly by intravenous infusion to patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. The starting dose was 60 mg in this dose-escalation study utilizing a modified continual reassessment method with overdose control model.ResultsOverall, 27 patients were treated at doses between 60 and 1850 mg. The maximally administered dose was 1850 mg due to excipients in the formulation that did not allow for higher doses to be used. The maximum tolerated dose was not reached. The most common adverse events irrespective of grade and relationship to the drug were anemia, infusion-related reaction, and thrombocytopenia. Most common treatment-related grade ≥ 3 toxicities were ALT/AST increase and reduced lymphocyte count. Pharmacokinetic studies suggested non-linear pharmacokinetics and target-mediated drug disposition, with a trend of approaching linear pharmacokinetics at doses of 1080 mg and higher. Partial response was observed in two patients (7%), minimal response in two patients (7%), and stable disease in 14 patients (52%).ConclusionsRO7297089 was well tolerated at doses up to 1850 mg, and the efficacy data supported activity of RO7297089 in multiple myeloma. Combination with other agents may further enhance its potential as an innate immune cell engager in multiple myeloma.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04434469; Registered June 16, 2020; https://www.Clinicaltrialsgov/ct2/show/NCT04434469 .

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) bears heterogeneous cells that poses a challenge for single-target immunotherapies. Here we constructed bispecific CS1-BCMA CAR-T cells aiming to augment BCMA targeting with CS1. Sixteen patients with relapsed or refractory (RR) MM received CS1-BCMA CAR-T infusion. Six patients (38%) had cytokine release syndrome, which was of grade 1-2 in 31%. No neurological toxicities were observed. The most common severe adverse events were hematological, including leukopenia (100%), neutropenia (94%), lymphopenia (100%) and thrombocytopenia (31%). Three patients with solitary extramedullary disease (sEMD) did not respond. At a median follow-up of 246 days, 13 patients (81%) had an overall response and attained minimal residual disease-negativity, and six (38%) reached a stringent complete response (sCR). Among the 13 responders, 1-year overall survival and progression-free survival were 72.73% and 56.26%, respectively. Four patients maintained sCR with a median duration of 17 months. Four patients experienced BCMA+ and CS1+ relapse or progression. One patient responded after anti-BCMA CAR-T treatment failure. Lenalidomide maintenance after CAR-T infusion and the resistance mechanism of sEMD were preliminarily explored in three patients. CAR-T cells persisted at a median of 406 days. Soluble BCMA could serve as an ideal biomarker for efficacy monitoring. CS1-BCMA CAR-T cells were clinically active with good safety profiles in patients with RRMM. Clinical trial registration: This study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT04662099.

Project description:BackgroundBCMA-specific chimeric antigen receptor-T cells (CAR-Ts) have exhibited remarkable efficacy in refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma (RRMM); however, primary resistance and relapse exist with single-target immunotherapy. Bispecific CARs are proposed to mitigate these limitations.MethodsWe constructed a humanized bispecific BM38 CAR targeting BCMA and CD38 and tested the antimyeloma activity of BM38 CAR-Ts in vitro and in vivo. Twenty-three patients with RRMM received infusions of BM38 CAR-Ts in a phase I trial.ResultsBM38 CAR-Ts showed stronger in vitro cytotoxicity to heterogeneous MM cells than did T cells expressing an individual BCMA or CD38 CAR. BM38 CAR-Ts also exhibited potent antimyeloma activity in xenograft mouse models. In the phase I trial, cytokine release syndrome occurred in 20 patients (87%) and was mostly grade 1-2 (65%). Neurotoxicity was not observed. Hematologic toxicities were common, including neutropenia in 96% of the patients, leukopenia in 87%, anemia in 43% and thrombocytopenia in 61%. At a median follow-up of 9.0 months (range 0.5 to 18.5), 20 patients (87%) attained a clinical response and minimal residual disease-negativity (≤ 10-4 nucleated cells), with 12 (52%) achieving a stringent complete response. Extramedullary plasmacytoma was eliminated completely in 56% and partially in 33% and of 9 patients. The median progression-free survival was 17.2 months. Two relapsed patients maintained BCMA and CD38 expression on MM cells. Notably, BM38 CAR-Ts cells were detectable in 77.8% of evaluable patients at 9 months and 62.2% at 12 months.ConclusionBispecific BM38 CAR-Ts were feasible, safe and significantly effective in patient with RRMM.Trial registrationChictr.org.cn ChiCTR1800018143.

Project description:BackgroundB-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has obtained promising results in relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (R/R MM), while some patients do not response, or relapse in short term after treatment. Combining with anti-CD38 might solve the problem of targeting BCMA alone. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of BCMA and CD38 (BCMA-CD38) bispecific CAR-T cells in R/R MM patients.MethodsWe did a single-center, single-arm clinical study at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Yangtze University in China. Patients meeting with the inclusion criteria were administered with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide before CAR-T cells infusion. Response and adverse events were assessed after infusion. This study was registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registration Center (ChiCTR1900026286).ResultsFirst, we found BCMA-CD38 CAR-T cells exhibited enhanced killing effect on BCMA+CD38+ cells in vitro, compared to BCMA CAR-T and CD38 CAR-T cells. We further demonstrated its anti-tumor activity in vivo. Then, we enrolled 16 R/R MM patients for safety and efficacy analyses. Of the 16 evaluable patients, 14 (87.5%) respond to the treatment, including 13 stringent complete response (sCR) and one partial response (PR), while two patients did not respond. At a median follow-up of 11.5 months, of the 13 patients who achieved sCR, 76.9% (10/13) did not relapse or progress during follow-up. Relapse occurred in 3 patients (Patient 2, 3 and 4) after achieving sCR. In sum, four patients died, of which one died of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis syndrome secondary to severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and three died of disease progression or relapse. The 1-year progression-free survival rates was 68.8%. The 1-year overall survival rate was 75.0%. Extramedullary lesions were eliminated in 62.5% (5/8) patients. The most common symptoms after CAR-T infusion were cytopenia (16, 100%), fever (10, 62.5%), fatigue (8, 50.0%) and myalgias (8, 50.0%). Twelve patients (75.0%) were observed with various grades of CRS, of which five patients (31.3%) got serious CRS (Grade ≥ 3). The CAR+ cell expansion levels were associated with the severity of CRS. Transient clonal isotype switch was observed after CAR-T infusion.ConclusionOur results confirm that BCMA-CD38 CAR-T cells therapy is feasible in treating R/R MM patients, with high response rate, low recurrence rate and manageable CRS, which will be a promising treatment option for R/R MM.Trial registrationChiCTR1900026286, registered on September 29, 2019, retrospectively registered, URL: https://www.chictr.org.cn/showproj.aspx?proj=43805.
