Immune and Targeted Therapies Including CAR T Cells for Blood

Cancers

Targeted Therapy

bull Therapy that takes advantage of molecular and genetic information to cause tumor cell kill by blocking key malignant cell function or by enhancing immunologic function

bull Specific (against tumor cell)

bull Reduces global toxicity to patient

bull More tolerable

bull More effective

bull More expensive

Why Consider CAR T Cell therapy

bull Remarkable responses demonstrated in refractory B

cell malignances

bull Potential ability to target other malignancies with

suitable antigenic targets

bull Specialized activity need for cell processing and BMT

like capabilities to perform this therapy

bull Could replace the use of BMT for some indications

bull Patients will seek heme malignancy programs that can

offer this therapy

CAR T cells

bull Key element is production of T cells transfected with a

fusion protein with two main components

ndash Antigen recognition domain eg CD19

ndash T cell activation domaincostimulatory domains eg

CD28 costimulatory domain and T-cell receptor (TCR)

ndash T cell activation domains

bull Achieved through transduction into autologous T cells of

vectors with coding DNA

15 patients with advanced B-cell malignancies

9 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)

2 indolent lymphomas

4 chronic lymphocytic leukemia

bull Patients received cyclophosphamide and fludarabine followed by a single

infusion of anti-CD19 CAR T cells

RESULTS

bull eight achieved complete remissions (CRs)

bull four achieved partial remissions one had stable lymphoma and

bull two were not evaluable for response

bull CRs were obtained by four of seven evaluable patients with

chemotherapy-refractory DLBCL

three of these four CRs with durations ranging from 9 to 22 months

Acute toxicities

bull fever hypotension delirium and other neurologic toxicities toxicities resolved

within 3 weeks after cell infusion

bull One patient died suddenly as a result of an unknown cause 16 days after cell

infusion

Maude et al N Engl J Med 2014 3711507-1517October 16 2014

bull Autologous T cells transduced with a CD19-directed chimeric antigen

receptor (CTL019) lentiviral vector in patients with relapsed or refractory

ALL

bull Doses of 076times106 to 206times106 CTL019 cells per kilogram

Results

bull 30 children and adults received CTL019

bull Complete remission in 27 patients (90) 15 after prior stem-cell

transplantation

bull CTL019 cells proliferated in vivo and were detectable in the blood bone

marrow and cerebrospinal fluid

bull 6-month event-free survival rate of 67 and overall survival rate of 78

bull At 6 months the probability of persistence of CTL019 was 68 (95 CI

50 to 92)

bull Probability of relapse-free B-cell aplasia was 73 (95 CI 57 to 94)

RESULTS IN ALL

Cytokine-release syndrome

N Engl J Med 2014 3711507-1517October 16 2014

bull All the patients had the cytokine-release syndrome

bull Severe cytokine-release syndrome which developed in 27

of the patients

- was associated with a higher disease burden before infusion

bull Effectively treated with the antindashinterleukin-6 receptor

antibody tocilizumab

bull 30 treated in ICU

bull Not directly correlated with neurological toxicity

Toxicities of CAR T therapy bull Fever

bull Hypotension

bull Pulmonary leak

bull Coagulopathy

bull Cytopenias

bull Renal changes

bull Neurological

bull B cell aplasia with hypogammablobulinemia

bull Tumor lysis syndrome

Cytokine Release Syndrome

Conclusion

bull Targeted therapy takes advantage of molecular and genetic information to cause tumor cell kill

bull There is an explosion of novel therapies that may help change the natural history of many aggressive blood cancers

bull Therapies include

1 Small molecules (TKI anti BCL2 BCR inhibitorshellip)

2 Immunconjugates bifunctional agent

3 CAR T cells

bull Agents have unique toxicities

bull Are likely to be very expensive

Why Consider CAR T Cell therapy

bull Remarkable responses demonstrated in refractory B

cell malignances

bull Potential ability to target other malignancies with

suitable antigenic targets

bull Specialized activity need for cell processing and BMT

like capabilities to perform this therapy

bull Could replace the use of BMT for some indications

bull Patients will seek heme malignancy programs that can

offer this therapy

Results

bull 30 children and adults received CTL019

bull Complete remission in 27 patients (90) 15 after prior stem-cell

transplantation

bull CTL019 cells proliferated in vivo and were detectable in the blood bone

marrow and cerebrospinal fluid

bull 6-month event-free survival rate of 67 and overall survival rate of 78

bull At 6 months the probability of persistence of CTL019 was 68 (95 CI

bull All the patients had the cytokine-release syndrome

bull Severe cytokine-release syndrome which developed in 27

- was associated with a higher disease burden before infusion

bull Effectively treated with the antindashinterleukin-6 receptor

Conclusion

bull Targeted therapy takes advantage of molecular and genetic information to cause tumor cell kill

bull There is an explosion of novel therapies that may help change the natural history of many aggressive blood cancers

bull Therapies include

15 patients with advanced B-cell malignancies

9 diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)

2 indolent lymphomas

4 chronic lymphocytic leukemia

bull Patients received cyclophosphamide and fludarabine followed by a single

infusion of anti-CD19 CAR T cells

RESULTS

bull eight achieved complete remissions (CRs)

bull four achieved partial remissions one had stable lymphoma and

bull two were not evaluable for response

bull CRs were obtained by four of seven evaluable patients with

chemotherapy-refractory DLBCL

three of these four CRs with durations ranging from 9 to 22 months

Acute toxicities

bull fever hypotension delirium and other neurologic toxicities toxicities resolved

within 3 weeks after cell infusion

bull One patient died suddenly as a result of an unknown cause 16 days after cell

infusion

Results
