Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and T-cell receptor (TCR) T-cell therapies are effective in a subset of patients with solid tumors, but new approaches are needed to enhance efficacy and universally improve patient outcomes. IL-15 and IL-21 are common cytokine-receptor gamma chain family members with distinct, pleiotropic effects on T-cells and other lymphocytes. We found that self-delivery of these cytokines by CAR or TCR T-cells prevents functional exhaustion by repeated stimulation and limits the emergence of dysfunctional natural killer (NK)-like T-cells. Across different preclinical murine solid tumor models, we observe enhanced regression with each individual cytokine but the greatest anti-tumor efficacy when T-cells are armored with both. Thus, the co-expression of membrane-tethered IL-15 and IL-21 represents a technology to enhance the resilience and function of engineered T-cells against solid tumors and could be applicable to multiple therapy platforms and diseases.

Project description:Interleukin-15 (IL15) enhances the antitumor properties of CAR T cells in preclinical solid tumor models but its effects on CAR T cells in humans are not known. Here, we report the first-in-human evaluation of IL15 co-expression in CAR T cells in two cohorts of a total of 24 patients with glypican-3 (GPC3) expressing solid neoplasms. In cohort 1, GPC3-CAR T cells were safe, no objective antitumor responses were detected. In cohort 2, co-expression of IL15 in GPC3-CAR T cells was associated with increased peak expansion in blood and measurable antitumor responses. Cytokine release syndrome was controlled with immunomodulation or with the inducible caspase 9 safety switch. Single cell transcriptomic analyses identified gene expression of tumor infiltrating CAR T cells associated with antitumor responses.

Abstract:
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell-based therapies have achieved substantial success against B-cell malignancies, which has led to a growing scientific and clinical interest in extending their use to solid cancers. However, results for solid tumours have been limited up to now, in part due to the immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment, which is able to inactivate CAR-T cell clones. In this paper we put forward a mathematical model describing the competition of CAR-T and tumour cells, taking into account their immunosuppressive capacity. Using the mathematical model, we show that the use of large numbers of CAR-T cells targetting the solid tumour antigens could overcome the immunosuppressive potential of cancer. To achieve such high levels of CAR-T cells we propose, and study computationally, the manufacture and injection of CAR-T cells targetting two antigens: CD19 and a tumour-associated antigen. We study in silico the resulting dynamics of the disease after the injection of this product and find that the expansion of the CAR-T cell population in the blood and lymphopoietic organs could lead to the massive production of an army of CAR-T cells targetting the solid tumour, and potentially overcoming its immune suppression capabilities. This strategy could benefit from the combination with PD-1 inhibitors and low tumour loads. Our computational results provide theoretical support for the treatment of different types of solid tumours using T cells engineered with combination treatments of dual CARs with on- and off-tumour activity and anti-PD-1 drugs after completion of classical cytoreductive treatments.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) natural killer (NK) cell therapy has demonstrated safety and feasibility in clinic; yet, limited efficacy resulted from intrinsic dysfunction and extrinsic depression remains to be addressed. T cells provide a multifaceted complementation to NK cell-mediated response. Here, we designed a novel CD19-targeted CAR-NK armored with secreted interleukin (IL) -15 and CCL21 (15x21 CAR-NK) that are capable of recruiting and cooperating with T cells. These 15x21 CAR-NK cells possess excellent capacities for cytotoxicity, cytokine production, and effector molecule expression in vitro. The cooperation with T cells presents benefits of alleviating mutual exhaustion and boosting the expression of effector molecules/receptors, thus promoting the elimination of tumor cells efficiently. In addition, 15x21 CAR-NK cells were also highly enriched PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway, associating with downstream pro-survival signaling, anti-apoptosis ability, and mitochondrial fitness. Collectively, our study highlights the intrinsic superiority and extrinsic T-cell cooperative advantages of 15x21 CAR-NK cells, providing a promising strategy for NK-cell based immunotherapy.

Project description:Despite remarkable progress in B cell malignancies, T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) remain ineffective in solid tumors in part because T cells do not traffic effectively to or survive in tumor tissues. We engineered Vα24-invariant natural killer T cells (NKTs), which intrinsically home to tumor sites, to co-express a GD2-specific CAR with interleukin (IL)15 and evaluated their therapeutic efficacy in children with relapsed/resistant neuroblastoma (NB)(NCT03294954). The first three patients received a single infusion of 3x10e6 autologous CAR-NKTs per square meter of body surface area and tolerated the treatment well. CAR-NKTs expanded in vivo, localized to the tumor, and in one patient induced a near-complete regression of bone metastatic lesions.

Project description:Cellular immunotherapies show remarkable efficacy against hematological malignancies; but face challenges against solid tumors largely attributed to the lack of tumor-specific antigens and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), expressing fibroblast activation protein (FAP) are key contributors in shaping this immunosuppressive landscape, yet effective targeting strategies remain an ongoing challenge. Here, we describe MiNK-215, a novel allogeneic human invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cell therapy, engineered to express a FAP-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and secrete interleukin-15 (IL-15) to remodel the TME and enhance anti-tumor activity. MiNK-215 modulated multifunctional immune responses by enhancing T cell responsiveness, dendritic cell activation, M1 macrophage polarization, and tumor killing. In a lung tumor mouse model, MiNK-215 depleted FAP+ CAFs, enhanced antigen-specific T cell infiltration, and promoted durable anti-tumor immunity without off-target toxicity. These findings extended to human organoid models of treatment-refractory Microsatellite Stable Colorectal Cancer (MSS-CRC) liver metastases, establishing FAP-CAR iNKT cells as a promising strategy to overcome immunotherapy resistance in solid tumors.

Project description:Vδ1T cells, a rare subset of γδT cells, hold promise for treating solid tumors. Unlike conventional T cells, they recognize tumor antigens independently of the MHC antigen-presentation pathway, making them a potential “off-the-shelf” cell therapy product. However, isolation and activation of Vδ1T cells is challenging, which has limited their clinical investigation. Here, we developed a large-scale clinical-grade manufacturing process for Vδ1T cells and validated the therapeutic potential of B7-H3-CAR-modified Vδ1T cells in treating solid tumors. Co-expression of interleukin-2 with the B7-H3-CAR led to durable anti-tumor activity of Vδ1T cells in vitro and in vivo. In multiple subcutaneous and orthotopic mouse xenograft tumor models, a single intravenous administration of the CAR-Vδ1T cells resulted in complete tumor regression. These modified cells demonstrated significant in vivo expansion and robust homing ability to tumors, akin to natural tissue-resident immune cells.Additionally, the B7-H3-CAR-Vδ1T cells exhibited a favorable safety profile. In conclusion, B7-H3-CAR-modified Vδ1T cells represent a promising strategy for treating solid tumors.
