The therapeutic potential of multiclonal tumoricidal T cells derived from tumor infiltrating lymphocyte-1derived iPS cells.

ABSTRACT: Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), which include tumor-specific T lymphocytes with frequency, are used for adoptive cell transfer therapy (ACT) in clinical practice. The optimization of TIL preparation has been investigated to reduce the senescence and increase the abundance of TIL, as both the quality and quantity of the transferred cells have great influence on the outcome of TIL-based ACT (TIL-ACT). Considering the effects of cell reprogramming on senescence, we expected that the anti-tumor effect could be enhanced by TIL regeneration. To confirm this hypothesis, we established tumor-specific TIL-derived iPS cells (TIL-iPSC) with human colorectal cancer specimens. T cells differentiated from TIL-iPSC (TIL-iPS-T) retained not only intrinsic T cell functions and tumor specificity, but also exhibited improved proliferation capacity and additional killing activity. Moreover, less differentiated profiles and prolonged persistency were seen in TIL-iPS-T compared with primary cells. Our findings imply that iPSC technology has great potential for TIL-ACT.

Project description:Background and aimsPancreatic cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Checkpoint immunotherapy has not yet shown encouraging results in pancreatic cancer possibly because of a poor immunogenicity and/or an immune suppressive microenvironment. The aim of this study was to develop patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models, compare their genetics to the original biopsies, and assess if autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) would have antitumoral activity in pancreatic cancer.MethodsWe subcutaneously transplanted tumors from 29 patients into NOG mice to generate PDX models. We established TIL cultures and injected them into PDX mice. We analyzed histology and genetics of biopsies and PDX tumors.ResultsTumor growths were confirmed in 11 of 29 transplantations. The PDX tumors histologically resembled their original biopsies, but because stromal cells in the PDX model tumors were from mouse, their gene expression differed from the original biopsies. Immune checkpoint ligands other than programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) were expressed in pancreatic cancers, but PD-L1 was rarely expressed. When it was expressed, it correlated with tumor take in PDX models. One of the 3 tumors that expressed PD-L1 was an adenosquamous cancer, and another had a mismatch repair deficiency. TILs were expanded from 6 tumors and were injected into NOG or human interleukin-2 transgenic-NOG mice carrying PDX tumors. Regression of tumors could be verified in human interleukin-2 transgenic-NOG mice in 3 of the 6 PDX models treated with autologous TILs, including the adenosquamous PDX model.ConclusionPDX models of pancreatic cancer can be used to learn more about tumor characteristics and biomarkers and to evaluate responses to adoptive cell therapy and combination therapies. The major benefit of the model is that modifications of T cells can be tested in an autologous humanized mouse model to gain preclinical data to support the initiation of a clinical trial.

Project description:PurposeEffective treatment options are limited for patients with advanced (metastatic or unresectable) melanoma who progress after immune checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies. Adoptive cell therapy using tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes has demonstrated efficacy in advanced melanoma. Lifileucel is an autologous, centrally manufactured tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte product.MethodsWe conducted a phase II open-label, single-arm, multicenter study in patients with advanced melanoma who had been previously treated with checkpoint inhibitor(s) and BRAF ± MEK targeted agents. Lifileucel was produced from harvested tumor specimens in central Good Manufacturing Practice facilities using a streamlined 22-day process. Patients received a nonmyeloablative lymphodepletion regimen, a single infusion of lifileucel, and up to six doses of high-dose interleukin-2. The primary end point was investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) per RECIST, version 1.1.ResultsSixty-six patients received a mean of 3.3 prior therapies (anti-programmed death 1 [PD-1] or programmed death ligand 1 [PD-L1]: 100%; anticytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4: 80%; BRAF ± MEK inhibitor: 23%). The ORR was 36% (95% CI, 25 to 49), with two complete responses and 22 partial responses. Disease control rate was 80% (95% CI, 69 to 89). Median duration of response was not reached after 18.7-month median study follow-up (range, 0.2-34.1 months). In the primary refractory to anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 therapy subset, the ORR and disease control rate were 41% (95% CI, 26 to 57) and 81% (95% CI, 66 to 91), respectively. Safety profile was consistent with known adverse events associated with nonmyeloablative lymphodepletion and interleukin-2.ConclusionLifileucel demonstrated durable responses and addresses a major unmet need in patients with metastatic melanoma with limited treatment options after approved therapy, including the primary refractory to anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 therapy subset.
