Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T-Cell Therapy for B-Cell Hematological Malignancies: An Update of the Pivotal Clinical Trial Data.

ABSTRACT: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T-cell therapy is an innovative form of adoptive cell therapy that has revolutionized the treatment of certain hematological malignancies, including B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The treatment is currently also being studied in other B-cell neoplasms, including multiple myeloma (MM) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). CD19 and B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) have been the most popular target antigens for CAR-T-cell immunotherapy of these malignancies. This review will discuss the efficacy and toxicity data from the pivotal clinical studies of CD19- and BCMA-targeted CAR-T-cell therapies in relapsed/refractory B-cell malignancies (NHL, ALL, CLL) and MM, respectively.

Preclinical and clinical advances in dual-target chimeric antigen receptor therapy for hematological malignancies.

Project description:In recent years, the excellent curative effect of CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has brought hope to patients with relapsing or refractory B-cell hematological malignancies, however relapse after CAR T-cell infusion has hindered the widespread clinical application of this immunotherapy and targeted antigen-negative relapse has caused widespread concern. Consequently, strategies for increasing targeted antigens have been created. In addition to the most widely applied target, namely CD19, researchers have further explored the possibility of other targets, such as CD20, CD22, CD33, and CD123, and have tested a series of combination antigen CAR T-cell therapies. Here, we summarize the current preclinical and clinical studies of dual-target CAR T cells.

Chimeric antigen receptor T?cell therapy-a hematological success story.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are genetically engineered autologous cells that express an activating receptor targeted towards one or more tumoral antigens. After ex vivo production and re-infusion, they are able to proliferate in the host and to recognize and kill tumor cells. Together with checkpoint inhibition, this new therapy is already being celebrated as a major medical breakthrough in recent years, due to the substantial benefit observed in clinical trials with patients with chemotherapy-refractory B?cell malignancies. These results have led to the recent approval of two CAR T?cell products by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States. The list of targetable antigens and possible indications is continuously being expanded, as are the modifications to the CAR structure and the final cell products currently under investigation. In some patients, CAR T?cell therapy may lead to substantial toxicity including the cytokine release syndrome (CRS). In summary, CAR T?cell therapy has already provided clinical benefit to patients with B?cell malignancies unresponsive to conventional treatment. Yet, the therapy is still in an early stage of development, and the many opportunities for improvement in its various aspects as well as its future role in relation to conventional therapy will set the pace in the field of hematology for the next years or even decades.

Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-Cell Therapy for Thoracic Malignancies.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are patient T cells that are transduced with genetically engineered synthetic receptors to target a cancer cell surface antigen. The remarkable clinical response rates achieved by adoptive transfer of T cells that target CD19 in patients with leukemia and lymphoma have led to a growing number of clinical trials exploring CAR T-cell therapy for solid tumors. Herein, we review the evolution of adoptive T-cell therapy; highlight advances in CAR T-cell therapy for thoracic malignancies; and summarize the targets being investigated in clinical trials for patients with lung cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, and esophageal cancer. We further discuss the barriers to successfully translating CAR T-cell therapy for solid tumors and present strategies that have been investigated to overcome these hurdles.

Application of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells in the Treatment of Hematological Malignancies

Project description:T cell immune protection plays a pivotal role in the treatment of patients with hematological malignancies. However, T cell exhaustion might lead to the possibility of immune escape of hematological malignancies. Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) with chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells can restore the activity of exhausted T cell through reprogramming and is widely used in the treatment of relapsed/refractory (r/r) hematological malignancies. Of note, CD19, CD20, CD30, CD33, CD123, and CD269 as ideal targets have shown extraordinary potential for CAR-T cell therapy and other targets such as CD23 and SLAMF7 have brought promising future for clinical trials. However, CAR-T cells can also produce some adverse events after treatment of hematological malignancies, such as cytokine release syndrome (CRS), neurotoxicity, and on-target/off-tumor toxicity, which may cause systemic immune stress inflammation, destruction of the blood-brain barrier, and even normal tissue damage. In this review, we aim to summarize the composition of CAR-T cell and its application in the treatment of acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL), multiple myeloma (MM), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Moreover, we will review the disadvantages of CAR-T cell therapy and propose several comprehensive recommendations which might guide its development.

Bispecific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy for B Cell Malignancies and Multiple Myeloma.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cell therapy offers a targeted immunotherapeutic approach to patients with refractory hematological malignancies. This technology is most advanced in B cell malignancies and multiple myeloma and is rapidly evolving as more data become available regarding clinical efficacy and response durability. Despite excellent initial response rates with single antigen targeting CARs, failure to respond to therapy and relapse due to target antigen downregulation remain clinical challenges. To mitigate immunophenotypic selective pressures, simultaneous dual antigen targeting with bispecific CAR T cells or multiple administration of different populations of CAR T cells may prevent relapse by addressing one resistance mechanism attributed to antigenic loss. This article will review recently published data on the use of dual targeting with CAR T cells from early phase clinical trials aimed at treating B cell malignancies and multiple myeloma.

Hematopoietic recovery in patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy for hematologic malignancies.

Project description:Factors contributing to hematopoietic recovery following chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy have not been well studied. In an analysis of 83 patients with hematologic malignancies treated with CAR T-cell therapy, we describe patterns of hematopoietic recovery and evaluate potentially associated factors. We included patients who received axicabtagene ciloleucel (n = 30) or tisagenlecleucel (n = 10) for B-cell lymphoma, CD19-28z CAR T therapy for B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (NCT01044069; n = 37), or B-cell maturation antigen targeting CAR T cells for multiple myeloma (NCT03070327; n = 6). Patients treated with CAR T cells who had not progressed, died, or received additional chemotherapy had "recovered" (per definition in Materials and methods section) hemoglobin, platelet, neutrophil, and white blood cell counts at rates of 61%, 51%, 33%, and 28% at month 1 postinfusion and 93%, 90%, 80%, and 59% at month 3 postinfusion, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that increasing grade of immune effector cell-associated neurological syndrome (ICANS), baseline cytopenias, CAR construct, and higher peak C-reactive protein or ferritin levels were statistically significantly associated with a lower likelihood of complete count recovery at 1 month; a similar trend was seen for cytokine release syndrome (CRS). After adjustment for baseline cytopenia and CAR construct, grade ≥3 CRS or ICANS remained significantly associated with the absence of complete count recovery at 1 month. Higher levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and macrophage-derived chemokines, although not statistically significant, were seen patients without complete count recovery at 1 month. This remains to be studied further in larger prospective studies.

Efficacy-enhanced anti-CD7 universal chimeric antigen receptor-T cell therapy for relapsed/refractory CD7-positive hematological malignancies: A phase I clinical study

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor-T cell (CAR-T) therapy in T cell malignancies faces fratricide, T cell aplasia, and product contamination. We developed an universal anti-CD7 CAR-T cells in which TRAC, CD7 and HLA-II were disrupted, while E-cadherin (a NK cell inhibitory molecule) was introduced, to mitigate graft versus host disease (GvHD), fratricide and rejection. Furthermore, we designed a subtle receptor, bbzg-CAR, comprising not only conventional domains (anti-CD7 scFv, 4-1BB co-stimulatory domain, and CD3ζ signaling domain), but also the intracellular domain of common γ chain. Bbzg-CAR-T exerted anti-tumor effects superior to those of conventional universal CAR-T cells. In adoptive therapy for relapsed/refractory (r/r) patients, no dose-limiting toxicity, GvHD, immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity or severe cytokine release syndrome (grade≥3) was observed. Nine patients (82%) showed objective response with, complete response rates of 75% and 33.3% in r/r leukemia and lymphoma respectively. Preliminary safety and efficacy of this universal CAR-T product was achieved in CD7+ malignancies.

Tumor-Specific Reactive Oxygen Species Accelerators Improve Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy in B Cell Malignancies.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CART) therapy is currently one of the most promising treatment approaches in cancer immunotherapy. However, the immunosuppressive nature of the tumor microenvironment, in particular increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, provides considerable limitations. In this study, we aimed to exploit increased ROS levels in the tumor microenvironment with prodrugs of ROS accelerators, which are specifically activated in cancer cells. Upon activation, ROS accelerators induce further generation of ROS. This leads to an accumulation of ROS in tumor cells. We hypothesized that the latter cells will be more susceptible to CARTs. CD19-specific CARTs were generated with a CD19.CAR.CD28.CD137zeta third-generation retroviral vector. Cytotoxicity was determined by chromium-51 release assay. Influence of the ROS accelerators on viability and phenotype of CARTs was determined by flow cytometry. The combination of CARTs with the ROS accelerator PipFcB significantly increased their cytotoxicity in the Burkitt lymphoma cell lines Raji and Daudi, as well as primary chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells. Exposure of CARTs to PipFcB for 48 h did not influence T cell exhaustion, viability, or T cell subpopulations. In summary, the combination of CARTs with ROS accelerators may improve adoptive immunotherapy and help to overcome tumor microenvironment-mediated treatment resistance.

Constitutively active MyD88/CD40 costimulation enhances expansion and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T cells targeting hematological malignancies.

Project description:Successful adoptive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapies against hematological malignancies require CAR-T expansion and durable persistence following infusion. Balancing increased CAR-T potency with safety, including severe cytokine-release syndrome (sCRS) and neurotoxicity, warrants inclusion of safety mechanisms to control in vivo CAR-T activity. Here, we describe a novel CAR-T cell platform that utilizes expression of the toll-like receptor (TLR) adaptor molecule, MyD88, and tumor-necrosis factor family member, CD40 (MC), tethered to the CAR molecule through an intentionally inefficient 2A linker system, providing a constitutive signal that drives CAR-T survival, proliferation, and antitumor activity against CD19+ and CD123+ hematological cancers. Robust activity of MC-enhanced CAR-T cells was associated with cachexia in animal models that corresponded with high levels of human cytokine production. However, toxicity could be successfully resolved by using the inducible caspase-9 (iC9) safety switch to reduce serum cytokines, by administration of a neutralizing antibody against TNF-?, or by selecting "low" cytokine-producing CD8+ T cells, without loss of antitumor activity. Interestingly, high basal activity was essential for in vivo CAR-T expansion. This study shows that co-opting novel signaling elements (i.e., MyD88 and CD40) and development of a unique CAR-T architecture can drive T-cell proliferation in vivo to enhance CAR-T therapies.

Epigenetic profiling and response to CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in B-cell malignancies

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells directed against CD19 (CART19) are effective in relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell malignancies. Not all patients show treatment efficacy, but little is known about the molecular factors predicting clinical outcome of CART19 therapy. Our objective was to determine the effect of epigenetic changes in CART19 cells on the clinical course of B-cell malignancy patients treated with adoptive therapy. We report a case series of B-cell malignancy patients (68 males (M) and 46 females (F); median age of 24 years (range 3-70 years)), comprising 77 acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cases and 37 non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cases, who were treated with CART19 cells. Using a DNA methylation microarray, we determined the epigenomic changes that occur in the patient T-cells upon transduction of the CAR vector. We identified 984 genomic sites with differential DNA methylation between CAR-untransduced (UT) and CAR-transduced (TD) T-cells before infusion into the patient. 18 of these distinct epigenetic loci were significantly associated with complete response (CR). Using the sites linked to CR, the EPICART signature was established, which was associated with enhanced overall survival (OS).
