Enhanced safety and efficacy of protease-regulated CAR-T cell receptors

ABSTRACT: Regulatable CAR platforms could circumvent toxicities associated with CAR-T therapy, but existing systems have shortcomings including leakiness and attenuated activity. Here, we present SNIP-CARs, a novel protease-based platform for regulating CAR activity using an FDA-approved small molecule. Design iterations yielded CAR-T cells that manifest full functional capacity with drug and no leaky activity in the absence of drug. In numerous models, SNIP CAR-T cells were more potent than constitutive CAR-T cells and showed diminished T cell exhaustion and greater stemness. In a ROR1-based CAR lethality model, drug cessation following toxicity onset reversed toxicity, thereby credentialling the platform as a safety switch. In the same model, reduced drug dosing opened a therapeutic window that resulted in tumor eradication in the absence of toxicity. SNIP-CARs enable remote tuning of CAR activity, which provides solutions to safety and efficacy barriers currently limiting progress in using CAR T cells to treat solid tumors.

Chimeric Antigen Receptors with a MyD88 and CD40 costimulatory endodomain endow T cells with superior antitumor activity

Project description:CAR T-cell therapy for solid tumors has shown limited efficacy in early phase clinical studies. The majority of CARs encode CD28 and/or 41BB costimulatory endodomains and we explored here if MyD88 and CD40 (MC) costimulatory endodomains in CARs improve their antitumor activity. We generated CD28-, 41BB-, and MC-CAR T-cells and demonstrate that MC-CAR T-cells have greater proliferative capacity and antitumor activity in repeat stimulation assays and in tumor models in vivo. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that MC-CAR T-cells expressed higher levels of MYB and FOXM1, key cell cycle regulators, and are activated at base line. After stimulation, MC-CAR T-cells remain in a less differentiated state than CD28- and 41BB-CAR T-cells as judged by low levels of TBET and BLIMP1 expression, and lower cytolytic activity in comparison to CD28- and 41BB-CAR T-cells. Thus, including MyD88 and CD40 signaling domains in CARs may improve current CAR T-cell therapy approaches for solid tumors.

The enhanced functionality of low-affinity CD19 CAR T cells is associated with activation priming and a polyfunctional cytokine phenotype

Project description:We have compared a low-affinity second-generation anti-CD19 CAR (CAT) with the high-affinity FMC63 CAR used in tisagenlecleucel to understand the unknown molecular mechanisms that drive different CAR T cell treatment outcomes. CAT cells are characterized by a faster antigen dissociation rate and present an enhanced in vivo expansion and anti-tumor efficacy, showing lower toxicity to patients and a long-term persistence in a Phase I clinical study. To understand this improved CAT cells behaviour, we performed a systematic in vitro characterization of the transcriptomic (RNA-seq) and protein (CyTOF) changes between the two groups. The analysis focused on T cells expressing low-affinity vs high-affinity anti-CD19 CARs following stimulation with CD19-expressing cells. Our results show that CAT potent and long-term anti-tumour responses may be sustained by the establishment of a CAR T cells self-reinforcing circuit activated through cytokines polyfunctional crosstalk. This study may inform the design of versatile CAR T cells, capable of balancing safety and efficacy.

CARPOOL: A library-based platform to rapidly identify next generation chimeric antigen receptors

Project description:CD19-targeted CAR therapies have successfully treated B cell leukemias, but many responders later relapse or experience toxicities. CAR ICDs are key to converting antigen recognition into anti-tumor effector functions. Despite the many possible immune signaling domain combinations that could be included in CARs, almost all CARs currently rely upon CD3, CD28, and/or 4-1BB signaling. To explore the signaling potential of CAR ICDs, we generated a library of 700,000 CD19 CAR molecules with diverse signaling domains and developed a high throughput screening platform to enable optimization of CAR signaling for anti-tumor functions. Our strategy identifies CARs with novel signaling domains that elicit distinct T cell behaviors from a clinically available CAR, including enhanced proliferation and persistence, lower exhaustion, potent cytotoxicity in an in vitro tumor rechallenge condition, and comparable tumor control in vivo. This approach is readily adaptable to numerous disease models, cell types, and selection conditions, making it a promising tool for rapidly improving adoptive cell therapies and expanding their utility to new disease indications.

Immunogenic chemotherapy enhances recruitment of CAR-T cells to solid tumors and improves anti-tumor efficacy when combined with checkpoint blockade [RNA-Seq]

Project description:CAR-T cell therapy is effective in hematologic malignancies but not in solid tumors. In breast and lung cancer patients, CAR-T cells targeting ROR1 infiltrated tumors poorly and became dysfunctional. To test strategies for enhancing efficacy, we induced ROR1+ lung tumors in KrasLSL-G12D/+;p53fl/f mice. Murine ROR1 CAR-T cells transferred after lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide (Cy) transiently controlled tumor growth but infiltrated tumors poorly and lost function, as observed in patients. Adding oxaliplatin (Ox) to the lymphodepletion regimen activated tumor macrophages to express T cell-recruiting chemokines, resulting in improved CAR-T cell infiltration, remodeling of the tumor microenvironment, and increased tumor sensitivity to anti-PD-L1. Combination therapy with Ox/Cy and anti-PD-L1 synergistically improved CAR-T mediated tumor control and survival, providing a strategy to improve CAR-T cell efficacy in the clinic.

Concert between cytokines and costimulatory domains to optimize chimeric antigen receptor immunotherapy in neuroblastoma model

Project description:Adoptive T cell therapy with gene-modified T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) is a rapidly growing field of translational medicine and recently has shown dramatic therapeutic success in the treatment of B-cell malignancies. However, challenges to achieve similar response in patients harboring solid tumour are still considerable. To achieve anti-tumor efficacy, these cells must survive, expand and persist after infusion into patients. An important lesson has been derived from clinical trials using CAR technologies: the relevance of the CAR design to enhance signaling and sustain T cell proliferation and survival. Here, we prove that third generation CARs specific for GD2 antigen incorporating CD28.4-1BB costimulatory domains improves T cell immunotherapy in a neuroblastoma (NB) pre-clinical model, as compared to a CAR with the same specificity but including CD28.OX40 costimulation. Indeed, we test the anti-tumor activity of polyclonal T cells genetically modified with third generation CAR.GD2 incorporating either CD28.4-1BB or CD28.OX40 in frame with the safety switch inducible Caspase 9 (iC9). We prove a significant in vitro and in vivo amelioration of the approach by the presence of 4.1BB signaling in terms of: 1) less T cell exhaustion, 2) lower basal T cell activation, 3) higher in vivo tumor control and 4) T cell persistence. In addition, the fine tuning of T cell culture conditions with the use of IL7 and IL15 show to be synergic with the third generation CAR.GD2 design to optimize CAR T immunotherapy for NB. Our results provide a proof-of-concept for the need to optimize not only CAR construct design but also T cell culture conditions in order to boost T cell activity in vivo.

Coopting T cell proximal signaling molecules enables Boolean logic-gated CAR T cell control

Project description:While CAR T cells have altered the treatment landscape for B cell malignancies, the risk of on-target, off-tumor toxicity has hampered their development for solid tumors because most target antigens are shared with normal cells. Researchers have attempted to apply Boolean logic gating to CAR T cells to prevent on-target, off-tumor toxicity; however, a truly safe and effective logic-gated CAR has remained elusive. Here, we describe a novel approach to CAR engineering in which we replace traditional ITAM-containing CD3ζ domains with intracellular proximal T cell signaling molecules. We demonstrate that certain proximal signaling CARs, such as a ZAP-70 CAR, can activate T cells and eradicate tumors in vivo while bypassing upstream signaling proteins such as CD3ζ. The primary role of ZAP-70 is to phosphorylate LAT and SLP-76, which form a scaffold for the propagation of T cell signaling. We leveraged the cooperative role of LAT and SLP-76 to engineer Logic-gated Intracellular NetworK (LINK) CAR, a rapid and reversible Boolean-logic AND-gated CAR T cell platform that outperforms other systems in both efficacy and the prevention of on-target, off-tumor toxicity. LINK CAR will dramatically expand the number and types of molecules that can be targeted with CAR T cells, enabling the deployment of these powerful therapeutics for solid tumors and diverse diseases such as autoimmunity9 and fibrosis10. In addition, this work demonstrates that the internal signaling machinery of cells can be repurposed into surface receptors, a finding that could have broad implications for new avenues of cellular engineering.

RNA-seq analysis of CAR-NKAE cells and CD45RA- CAR-T cells

Project description:CAR-T cell therapy against MM currently shows promising results, but usually with serious toxicities. CAR-NK cells may exert less toxicity when redirected against resistant myeloma cells. CARs can be designed through the use of receptors, such as NKG2D, which recognizes a wide range of ligands to provide broad target specificity. Here, we test this approach by analyzing the anti-tumor activity of activated and expanded NK cells (NKAE) and CD45RA- T cells from MM patients that were engineered to express an NKG2D-based CAR. NKAE cells were cultured with irradiated Clone9.mbIL21 cells. Then, cells were transduced with an NKG2D-4-1BB-CD3z-CAR. CAR-NKAE cells exhibited no evidence of genetic abnormalities. Although memory T cells were more stably transduced, CAR-NKAE cells exhibited greater in vitro cytotoxicity against MM cells, while showing minimal activity against healthy cells. In vivo, CAR-NKAE cells mediated highly efficient abrogation of MM growth, and two of the treated mice remained disease-free. Overall, these results demonstrate that it is feasible to modify autologous NKAE cells from MM patients to safely express a NKG2D-CAR. Additionally, autologous CAR-NKAE cells display enhanced anti-myeloma activity demonstrating that they could be an effective strategy against MM supporting the development of NKG2D-CAR NK cell therapy for MM.

Optimized delivery of dual co-stimulation and anti-tumor activity using parallel chimeric antigen receptors (pCARs)

Project description:Second generation (2G) chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) contain a CD28 or 41BB co-stimulatory endodomain and elicit remarkable efficacy in hematological malignancies. Third generation (3G) CARs extend this linear blueprint by fusing both co-stimulatory units in series. However, clinical impact has been muted despite compelling evidence that co-signaling by CD28 and 41BB can powerfully amplify natural immune responses. We postulate that effective dual co-stimulation requires juxta-membrane positioning of endodomain components within separate synthetic receptors. Consequently, we designed parallel (p)CARs in which a 2G (CD28+CD3) CAR is co-expressed with a 41BB-containing chimeric co-stimulatory receptor. We demonstrate that the pCAR platform optimally harnesses synergistic and tumor-dependent co-stimulation to resist T-cell exhaustion and senescence, sustaining proliferation, cytokine release, cytokine signaling and metabolic fitness upon repeated stimulation. When engineered using targeting moieties of diverse composition, affinity and specificity, pCAR T-cells consistently elicit superior anti-tumor activity both in vitro and in vivo, warranting clinical development.
