Rapid response in relapsed follicular lymphoma with massive chylous ascites to anti-CD19 CAR T therapy using Piggy Bac: A case report.

ABSTRACT: CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has been shown to achieve a considerably durable response in patients with refractory or relapsed B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas, as seen from the results of Zuma-1, Zuma-5, and other clinical trials. Most of these CARs were generated by lentivirus or reverse adenovirus. It is rare to see CARs using non-viral vectors, such as Piggy Bac (pb), in treating lymphoma patients with active diseases. Generally, patients with a high tumor burden tend to have a higher rate of severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or neurological events as reported in the literature. Patients with symptomatic pleural effusions are excluded from the Zuma-1 trial because of the risk of severe CRS. We report here that a patient with relapsed follicular lymphoma with bulky disease and massive chylous ascites failed several lines of chemotherapy. After infusion of the CD19-directed pbCAR-T cells at 6 × 10⁶ cells/kg, the patient had a rapid response and achieved a nearly complete metabolic remission on day 28. There was only grade 1 CRS, and no neurotoxicity occurred. The CAR-T cells reached a peak level on day 14 and spread into the ascites and expanded for 3 months. This might be the first case reported for pbCAR-T cells to treat relapsed follicular lymphoma directly. The long-term efficacy will be observed, and more patients be tested in the future.

Project description:BackgroundFor CD19-positive relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL) after treatment with murine CD19 (mCD19) CAR-T, the reinfusion of mCD19 CAR-T cells may be ineffective due to anti-mouse single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody caused by mCD19 CAR. To overcome this immunogenicity, we applied humanized CD19 (hCD19) CAR-T cells to treat r/r B-ALL patients with prior mCD19 CAR-T therapy.MethodsNineteen pediatric and adult patients were included, 16 relapsed after and 3 were primarily resistant to mCD19 CAR-T. All patients presented with more than 5% blasts in bone marrow and/or extramedullary disease, and still showed CD19 antigen expression. Humanized CD19-CARs were lentiviral vectors carrying a second generation CAR with 4-1-BB co-stimulatory and CD3ζ signaling domains. Patient-derived cells were collected for producing CAR-T cells, the median dose of infused hCD19 CAR-T cells was 2.4 × 105/kg (range, 1.0-18.0 × 105/kg).ResultshCD19 CAR-T resulted in a complete remission (CR) rate of 68% (13/19). Among 13 remission patients, 11 underwent allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) (3 were second HCT) and 10 remained in CR; the event-free survival rates at 12-18 months were 91% in 11 patients received following allo-HCT and 69% in all CR patients. Six cases had no response to hCD19 CAR-T, 3 died of disease progression; another 3 received salvage second transplantation, of them, 2 relapsed again (one died). Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) occurred in 95% (18/19) of patients, most CRS events were grade 1 and grade 2 (n = 17), there was only one grade 4 CRS. Two cases experienced grade 1 neurotoxicity.ConclusionsHumanized CD19 CAR-T cell therapy could be a treatment option for CD19-positive B-ALL patients who relapsed after or resisted prior murine CD19 CAR-T, hCD19 CAR-T followed by allo-HCT provided a longer remission in CR patients. Nevertheless, the prognosis of non-responders to hCD19 CAR-T remained dismal.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry/WHO International Clinical Trial Registry ( ChiCTR1900024456 , URL: www.chictr.org.cn ); registered on July 12, 2019.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has emerged as highly effective in relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), but only about 40% patients have achieved sustained responses. Here, we conducted a phase II clinical trial testing efficacy and toxicities of CAR-T therapy in R/R non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients (NCT03196830). Among enrolled patients, 33 R/R DLBCL patients pretreated with DFC (decitabine, fludarabine plus cyclophosphamide) lymphodepletion chemotherapy and infused with tandem CD19-CD22 based CAR-T cells were drawn out for efficacy and toxicities of CAR-T therapy evaluation. With a median follow-up of 10.9(0.6-29.0) months, the best overall response and complete remission (CR) rates were 90.9% and 63.6%, respectively. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 10.2 months and overall survival (OS) was undefined. The 2-year OS and PFS rates were 54.3% and 47.2%, respectively. No severe grade 4 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) was observed and grade 3 CRS was observed in only 7 patients; 3 patients developed mild immune effect or cell-associated neurotoxic syndrome. All toxicities were transient and reversible and no CAR-T-related mortality. Further subgroup analysis showed that achieving CR was an independent prognostic factor associated with favorable PFS and OS. The 2-year OS and PFS for patients who achieved CR within 3 months (undefined versus undefined P=0.021 and undefined versus undefined P=0.036) or during the follow-up period were significantly longer than those who did not (undefined versus 4.6 months P < 0.0001 and undefined versus 2.0months P<0.001). While severe CRS was also an independent prognostic factor but associated with inferior PFS and OS. The 2-year OS and PFS for patients with grade 3 CRS were significantly shorter than those with grade 0-2 CRS (4.1 months versus undefined P<0.0001 and 1.7 months versus undefined P=0.0002). This study indicated that CD19/CD22 dual-targeted CAR-T therapy under a decitabine-containing lymphodepletion regimen may be a safe, potent effective approach to R/R DLBCL patients.
