Infusion of donor-derived CD19-redirected virus-specific T cells for B-cell malignancies relapsed after allogeneic stem cell transplant: a phase 1 study.

ABSTRACT: Autologous T cells expressing a CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CD19.CAR) are active against B-cell malignancies, but it is unknown whether allogeneic CD19.CAR T cells are safe or effective. After allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), infused donor-derived virus-specific T cells (VSTs) expand in vivo, persist long term, and display antiviral activity without inducing graft-vs-host disease; therefore, we determined whether donor VSTs, engineered to express CD19.CAR, retained the characteristics of nonmanipulated allogeneic VSTs while gaining antitumor activity. We treated 8 patients with allogeneic (donor-derived) CD19.CAR-VSTs 3 months to 13 years after HSCT. There were no infusion-related toxicities. VSTs persisted for a median of 8 weeks in blood and up to 9 weeks at disease sites. Objective antitumor activity was evident in 2 of 6 patients with relapsed disease during the period of CD19.CAR-VST persistence, whereas 2 patients who received cells while in remission remain disease free. In 2 of 3 patients with viral reactivation, donor CD19.CAR-VSTs expanded concomitantly with VSTs. Hence CD19.CAR-VSTs display antitumor activity and, because their number may be increased in the presence of viral stimuli, earlier treatment post-HSCT (when lymphodepletion is greater and the incidence of viral infection is higher) or planned vaccination with viral antigens may enhance disease control.

Project description:We conducted a phase 2 study to determine the efficacy of HLA-haploidentical related donor natural killer (NK) cells after cyclophosphamide-based lymphodepletion in patients with relapsed or progressive acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Eight patients (2 with MDS and 6 with AML) were treated with cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg on day -3 and day -2 before infusion of NK cells isolated from a haploidentical related donor. One patient also received fludarabine 25 mg/m2/day for 4 days. Six doses of 1 million units of interleukin-2 (IL-2) were administered on alternating days beginning on day -1. The median number of NK cells infused was 10.6 × 10(6)/kg (range, 4.3 to 22.4 × 10(6)/kg), and the median number of CD3 cells infused was 2.1 × 10(3)/kg (range, 1.9 to 40 × 10(3)/kg). NK infusions were well tolerated, with a median time to neutrophil recovery of 19 days (range, 7 days to not achieved) and no incidence of graft-versus-host disease after NK infusion. One patient with AML and 1 patient with MDS achieved a complete response, but relapsed at 1.7 and 1.8 months, respectively. One patient with MDS experienced resolution of dysplastic features but persistence of clonal karyotype abnormalities; this patient was stable at 65 months after NK cell therapy. The median duration of survival was 12.9 months (range, 0.8 to 65.3 months). Chimerism analysis of CD3(-)/CD56(+) peripheral blood cells did not detect any circulating haploidentical NK cells after infusion. NK phenotyping was performed in 7 patients during and after IL-2 infusion. We found a slight trend toward greater expression of KIR2DL2/2DL3/2DS2 (5% versus 28%; P = .03) at 14 days in patients who survived longer than 6 months from NK cell infusion (n = 4) compared with those who died within 6 months of NK cell therapy (n = 3). In summary, our data support the safety of haploidentical NK cell infusion after allogeneic HCT.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CAR T) cell therapy has been widely reported in improving the outcomes of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), less research about the feasibility and safety of donor-derived CAR T after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) was reported.MethodsThis phase 1 clinical trial aims to evaluate safety and efficacy of donor-derived anti-CD19 CAR T cells (GC007g) in B-ALL patients who relapsed after allo-HSCT. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04516551.FindingsBetween 15 March 2021 and 19 May 2022, fifteen patients were screened, three patients were excluded due to withdraw of consent, donor's reason, and death, respectively. Patients received donor-derived CAR T cells infusions at 6 × 105/kg (n = 3) or 2 × 106/kg (n = 6) dose level. The median time from HSCT to relapse was 185 days (range, 81-2063). The median age of patients was 31 years (range 21-48). Seven patients (77.8%) had BCR-ABL fusion gene. CAR T cells expanded in vivo and the median time to reach Cmax was 9 days (range, 7-11). One patient had hyperbilirubinemia after GC007g infusion which was defined as a dose-limiting toxicity. All patients experienced CRS and hematological adverse events. Three patients had acute graft-versus-host-disease (grade I, n = 1; grade II, n = 1; grade IV, n = 1) and all resolved after treatment. They received CAR T cells from matched sister, haploidentical matched father and sisiter, respectively. At 28 days after infusion, all patients achieved complete remission with/without incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi/CR) with undetectable MRD. At a median follow-up of 475 days (range 322-732), seven patients remained in CR/CRi while two had CD19-negative relapse. The overall response rates (ORR) were 100% (9/9), 88.9% (8/9), and 75% (6/8) at 3 month, 6 month, and 12 month, respectively. The 1-year progression-free and overall survival were 77.8% and 85.7%, respectively.InterpretationGC007g expanded and induced durable remission in patients with B-ALL relapsed after allo-HSCT, with manageable safety profiles.FundingGracell Biotechnologies Inc.

Project description:ImportanceThe optimal treatment approach to patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who relapse after an allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) remains elusive. No randomized clinical trial comparing survival outcomes of a second allo-HCT (allo-HCT2) vs donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) has been conducted to date.ObjectiveTo compare overall survival (OS) after an allo-HCT2 or DLI in relapsed AML after a first allo-HCT.Design, setting, and participantsA retrospective registry study from the Acute Leukemia Working Party of the European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation involving 418 adults who received an allo-HCT2 (n?=?137) or DLI (n?=?281) for postallograft-relapsed AML. Analysis was assessed on the principle of intent-to-first received intervention. The data were collected from November 21, 2015, to May 15, 2017, and analysis was performed June 1, 2017.Main outcomes and measuresNumber of patients with relapsed AML who are alive after 2 years and 5 years from receiving an allo-HCT2 or DLI.ResultsOf the 418 patients, 228 (54.5%) were men; mean age was 46.2 years (interquartile range, 36.5-56.9 years). There was no apparent difference in OS whether an allo-HCT2 or DLI was prescribed (2-year OS with allo-HCT2, 26%; 5-year OS with allo-HCT2, 19%; 2-year OS with DLI, 25%; 5-year OS with DLI, 15%; P?=?.86). Overall survival was better if either of these procedures was offered when the patient was in complete remission (hazard ratio, 0.55; 95% CI, 0.41-0.74; P?<?.001). Conversely, OS was low for patients relapsing within less than 6 months after an allo-HCT1, regardless of the treatment prescribed (5-year OS: allo-HCT2, 9%; 95% CI, 1%-17% vs DLI, 4%; 95% CI, 1%-8%; P?=?.86).Conclusion and relevanceHeterogeneity of the patient-, disease-, and treatment-related characteristics limit the ability to recommend one approach over another. Findings of this study highlight that best outcomes seem to be achieved in patients relapsing 6 or more months from an allo-HCT1 or those in complete remission at the time of either allo-HCT2 or DLI.
