CAR T-cell product performance in haematological malignancies before and after marketing authorisation.

ABSTRACT: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells represent a potent new approach to treat haematological malignancies. Two CAR T-cell therapies, tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel, have been approved in Europe and the USA, as well as several other countries, for the treatment of leukaemia and lymphoma. These approvals marked a major milestone in the field of cell and gene therapies. However, the clinical development and regulatory evaluation of these innovative therapies faced several challenges that are considered important lessons learned for future similar products. Here, we examine the products' non-clinical and clinical data packages to outline the challenges encountered during the regulatory evaluation process in Europe, and to provide an update on their performance after authorisation.

Potential strategies against resistance to CAR T-cell therapy in haematological malignancies.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a rapidly developing method for adoptive immunotherapy of tumours in recent years. CAR T-cell therapies have demonstrated unprecedented efficacy in the treatment of patients with haematological malignancies. A 90% complete response (CR) rate has been reported in patients with advanced relapse or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, while >50% CR rates have been reported in cases of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and partial B-cell lymphoma. Despite the high CR rates, a subset of the patients with complete remission still relapse. The mechanism of development of resistance is not clearly understood. Some patients have been reported to demonstrate antigen-positive relapse, whereas others show antigen-negative relapses. Patients who relapse following CAR T-cell therapy, have very poor prognosis and novel approaches to overcome resistance are required urgently. Herein, we have reviewed current literature and research that have investigated the strategies to overcome resistance to CAR T-cell therapy.

The Application of CAR-T Cells in Haematological Malignancies.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells (CART) remain one of the most advanced and promising forms of adoptive T-cell immunotherapy. CART represent autologous, genetically engineered T lymphocytes expressing CAR, i.e. fusion proteins that combine components and features of T cells as well as antibodies providing their more effective and direct anti-tumour effect. The technology of CART construction is highly advanced in vitro and every element of their structure influence their mechanism of action in vivo. Patients with haematological malignancies are faced with the possibility of disease relapse after the implementation of conventional chemo-immunotherapy. Since the most preferable result of therapy is a partial or complete remission, cancer treatment regimens are constantly being improved and customized to individual patients. This individualization could be ensured by CART therapy. This paper characterized CART strategy in details in terms of their structure, generations, mechanism of action and published the results of clinical trials in haematological malignancies including acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and multiple myeloma.

DNMT3A in haematological malignancies.

Project description:DNA methylation patterns are disrupted in various malignancies, suggesting a role in the development of cancer, but genetic aberrations directly linking the DNA methylation machinery to malignancies were rarely observed, so this association remained largely correlative. Recently, however, mutations in the gene encoding DNA methyltransferase 3A (DNMT3A) were reported in patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), and subsequently in patients with various other haematological malignancies, pointing to DNMT3A as a critically important new tumour suppressor. Here, we review the clinical findings related to DNMT3A, tie these data to insights from basic science studies conducted over the past 20 years and present a roadmap for future research that should advance the agenda for new therapeutic strategies.

Analysis of FDA's IQOS marketing authorisation and its policy impacts.

Project description:Philip Morris Products SA (PMPSA) submitted a premarket tobacco application (PMTA) to US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking an order permitting it to market IQOS in the USA. US law requires FDA to deny marketing authorisation if applicants fail to demonstrate that their product is 'appropriate for the protection of the public health'. FDA issued a marketing order for IQOS in April 2019, which Philip Morris is using to promote IQOS outside the USA. We analysed FDA's Technical Project Lead Review and marketing order for IQOS, relevant law and guidance on PMTAs and independent research on the health impacts of IQOS. FDA found that the evidence PMPSA submitted did not demonstrate reduction in long-term disease risks and that IQOS aerosol emits toxins with carcinogenic and genotoxic potential, some at higher levels than conventional cigarettes. PMPSA did not appropriately consider the health impacts of dual use, the product's attractiveness to youth or data showing that consumers do not accurately perceive the addiction risks of IQOS. Despite FDA's own scientists' recommendations and independent research showing that IQOS presents serious risks to users including cytotoxic, genotoxic, hepatotoxic, cardiovascular and pulmonary risks, FDA concluded that IQOS is 'appropriate for the protection of the public health'. FDA's decision allowing IQOS to be marketed in the USA disregarded valid scientific evidence and misapplied the public health standard mandated by law. This decision may have important health impacts, influence marketing IQOS outside the USA and erode public confidence in FDA's future PMTA decisions.

Recent advances in T-cell immunotherapy for haematological malignancies.

Project description:In vitro discoveries have paved the way for bench-to-bedside translation in adoptive T cell immunotherapy, resulting in remarkable clinical responses in a variety of haematological malignancies. Adoptively transferred T cells genetically modified to express CD19 CARs have shown great promise, although many unanswered questions regarding how to optimize T-cell therapies for both safety and efficacy remain. Similarly, T cells that recognize viral or tumour antigens though their native receptors have produced encouraging clinical responses. Honing manufacturing processes will increase the availability of T-cell products, while combining T-cell therapies has the ability to increase complete response rates. Lastly, innovative mechanisms to control these therapies may improve safety profiles while genome editing offers the prospect of modulating T-cell function. This review will focus on recent advances in T-cell immunotherapy, highlighting both clinical and pre-clinical advances, as well as exploring what the future holds.

CAR-T Cell Therapy for T-Cell Malignancies.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has revolutionized the treatment of B-cell lymphoid neoplasia and, in some instances, improved disease outcomes. Thus, six FDA-approved commercial CAR-T cell products that target antigens preferentially expressed on malignant B-cells or plasma cells have been introduced in the therapy of B-cell lymphomas, B-ALLs, and multiple myeloma. These therapeutic successes have triggered the application of CAR-T cell therapy to other hematologic tumors, including T-cell malignancies. However, the success of CAR-T cell therapies in T-cell neoplasms was considerably more limited due to the existence of some limiting factors, such as: 1) the sharing of mutual antigens between normal T-cells and CAR-T cells and malignant cells, determining fratricide events and severe T-cell aplasia; 2) the contamination of CAR-T cells used for CAR transduction with malignant T-cells. Allogeneic CAR-T products can avoid tumor contamination but raise other problems related to immunological incompatibility. In spite of these limitations, there has been significant progress in CD7- and CD5-targeted CAR-T cell therapy of T-cell malignancies in the last few years.

CAR T-Cell Therapy in Hematological Malignancies.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells (CAR T-cells) are a promising therapeutic approach in treating hematological malignancies. CAR T-cells represent engineered autologous T-cells, expressing a synthetic CAR, targeting tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) independent of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) presentation. The most common target is CD19 on B-cells, predominantly used for the treatment of lymphoma and acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), leading to approval of five different CAR T-cell therapies for clinical application. Despite encouraging clinical results, treatment of other hematological malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains difficult. In this review, we focus especially on CAR T-cell application in different hematological malignancies as well as strategies for overcoming CAR T-cell dysfunction and increasing their efficacy.

Immune-epigenetic crosstalk in haematological malignancies.

Project description:Haematological malignancies comprise a diverse set of lymphoid and myeloid neoplasms which can arise during any stage of haematopoiesis in the bone marrow. Accumulating evidence suggests that chronic inflammation generated by inflammatory cytokines secreted by tumour and the tumour-associated cells within the bone marrow microenvironment initiates signalling pathways in malignant cells, resulting in activation of master transcription factors including Smads, STAT3, and NF-κB which confer cancer stem cell phenotypes and drive disease progression. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms for how immune cells interact with malignant cells to induce such epigenetic modifications, specifically DNA methylation, histone modification, expression of miRNAs and lnRNAs to perturbate haematopoiesis could provide new avenues for developing novel targeted therapies for haematological malignancies. Here, the complex positive and negative feedback loops involved in inflammatory cytokine-induced cancer stem cell generation and drug resistance are reviewed to highlight the clinical importance of immune-epigenetic crosstalk in haematological malignancies.

Multi Targeted CAR-T Cell Therapies for B-Cell Malignancies.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment of relapsed and refractory hematological malignancies. Through targeting of the CD19 antigen on B cells durable remissions have been achieved in patients with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic lymphoma. Despite impressive responses, multiple escape mechanisms to evade CAR-T cell therapy have been identified, among which the most common is loss of the target antigen. In this review we will highlight outcomes to date with CD19 CAR-T cell therapy, describe the current limitations of single targeted CAR-T therapies, review identified tumor escape mechanisms, and lastly discuss novel strategies to overcome resistance via multi-targeted CAR-T cells.

EU Regulatory Pathways for ATMPs: Standard, Accelerated and Adaptive Pathways to Marketing Authorisation.

Project description:Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) require evaluation by the European Medicines Agency's Committee for Advanced Therapies prior to being placed on the European market, subject to a Marketing Authorisation granted by the European Commission. In common with other medicinal products, various regulatory pathways are available for taking ATMPs through clinical trials to market authorisation, and the regulatory pathway taken will depend on a product's characteristics and the target patient population. With the industry poised to deliver more late-stage clinical and commercial ATMPs for serious diseases with high unmet medical need (e.g., T cell immunotherapies for cancer), bringing medicines to patients through optimized regulatory strategies and expedited pathways is assuming greater importance. The European Medicines Agency's priority medicines (PRIME) scheme was introduced in 2016 specifically to enable this, and eligibility has been granted to 19 ATMPs as of the fourth quarter (Q4) 2018. Furthermore, two chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies, Yescarta and Kymriah, have recently completed their journeys through the scheme to Marketing Authorisation. This review discusses how the regulatory pathway for any particular ATMP, with or without PRIME designation, is determined and navigated.
