Immunometabolic determinants of long-term response in leukemia patients receiving CD19 CAR T cell therapy

ABSTRACT: Although most patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) receiving CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy achieve remission, loss of CAR T cell functionality and subsequent relapse remains an unmet therapeutic need. We applied an integrative approach to study the immunometabolism of pre- and post-infusion CD19-CAR T cells of patients with relapsed/refractory B-ALL. Pre-infusion CAR T cells of long-term responders (LTR) had increased oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid oxidation, and pentose phosphate pathway activities, higher mitochondrial mass, tighter cristae, and lower mTOR expression compared to products of short-term responders. Post-infusion CAR T cells in bone marrow (BM) of LTR had high immunometabolic plasticity and mTOR-pS6 expression supported by the BM microenvironment. Transient inhibition of mTOR during manufacture induced metabolic reprogramming and enhanced anti-tumor activity of CAR T cells. Our findings provide insight into immunometabolic determinants of long-term response and suggest a therapeutic strategy to improve long-term remission.

Longitudinal single-cell immunoprofiling links durable CAR T response to sustained activation and clonotypic expansion of the native cytotoxic T cell repertoire

Project description:CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has transformed outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), yet the mechanisms underlying durable remission remain incompletely understood. While CAR T-cell persistence is associated with response, long-term remission can occur despite rapid CAR T clearance, suggesting the involvement of additional immune mechanisms. To investigate the role of the native T-cell repertoire in shaping response durability, we performed single-cell RNA and TCR sequencing (scRNA-seq/scTCR-seq) on longitudinal peripheral blood samples from LBCL patients treated with axicabtagene ciloleucel (axi-cel) in the ZUMA-1 trial. We compared immune landscapes and clonotypic dynamics among patients achieving durable remission (>1 year), those experiencing early relapse (<6 months), and those with refractory disease. Patients with long-term remission exhibited increased cytotoxic, proinflammatory, and proliferative native T-cell subsets, while early relapse was associated with immunoregulatory populations that may suppress T-cell activation. TCR profiling revealed robust clonotypic expansion of native cytotoxic T cells post-infusion in durable responders, with expansion patterns strongly predicting clinical outcomes. Notably, TCR screens did not identify known viral targets, suggesting tumor-specific immunity may mediate ongoing remission. These findings propose native T-cell clonotypic expansion as a key determinant of durable response to CAR T therapy and highlight its predictive potential for long-term clinical outcomes.

UPenn CAR T cell Responders and Non-responders

Project description:<p>The adoptive transfer of autologous T cells genetically modified to express a CD19-specific, 4-1BB/CD3zeta-signaling chimeric antigen receptor (CAR; CTL019) has shown remarkable activity in patients with B acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Similar therapy can induce long-term remissions for relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients, but in only a small subset of subjects. The determinants of response and resistance to CTL019 therapy of CLL are not fully understood. We employed next generation sequencing of RNA (RNA-seq) to identify predictive indicators of response to CTL019 treatment. We performed RNA-seq on leukapheresis and manufactured infusion product T cells from patients with heavily pre-treated and high-risk disease. To characterize potency, we also performed RNA-seq on the cellular infusion product after CAR-specific stimulation. Our findings indicate that durable remission in CLL is associated with gene expression signatures of early memory T cell differentiation (e.g., STAT3), while T cells from poorly- or non-responding patients exhibited elevated expression of key regulators of late memory as well as effector T cell differentiation, apoptosis, aerobic glycolysis, hypoxia and exhaustion. These gene expression signatures, along with additional immunological biomarkers, may be used to identify which patients are most likely to respond to cellular therapies and suggest manufacturing modifications that might potentiate the generation of maximally efficacious infusion products.</p>

Eighteen-year survival after GD2-directed Chimeric Antigen Receptor-Modified Immune Effector Cell Treatment for Neuroblastoma

Project description:We report long-term outcomes up to 18 years of a clinical trial treating children with neuroblastoma with EBV-specific T lymphocytes and CD3-activated T cells – each expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) targeting GD2 but without an embedded costimulatory sequence (1st generation CARs). These CARs incorporated barcoded sequences to track each infused population. Of 11 patients with active disease at infusion, three patients achieved a complete response that was sustained in 2, one for 8 years until lost to follow up and one for 18+ years. Of eight patients with no evidence of disease at time of CAR-T administration, five are disease-free at their last follow-up between 10-15 years post-infusion. Intermittent low levels of transgene were detected during the follow up period with significantly greater persistence in those who were long-term survivors. In conclusion, despite using first-generation vectors that are nowadays no longer employed because of the lack of costimulatory domains, patients with relapsed/refractory neuroblastoma achieved long-term disease control after receiving GD2 CAR-T cell therapy including one patient now in remission of relapsed disease for >18 years.

Single-cell sequencing of infusion products and T cells after administration of non-viral PD1-targeted anti-CD19 CAR T cells

Project description:We successfully developed a two-in-one approach to generate non-viral genome specific targeted CAR T cells through CRISPR/Cas9. In the adoptive therapy for relapsed/refractory aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, we observed durable responses without serious adverse events and complete remission in patients treated with PD1 knockin CAR T cells. Here we applied single-cell sequencing to analyze the characteristcis of infusion products and T cells after administration.

Targeting PRC2 enhances the antitumor cytotoxic capacity of anti-CD19 CAR-T cells against hematological malignancies

Project description:Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cell therapy was adopted as a clinical modality for patients with relapsed/refractory hematological malignancies. Despite the clinical efficacy of CAR-T cell therapy, a considerable fraction of patients still relapses during the first months following CAR-T cell infusion. The limited CAR-T cell efficiency is thought to relate to epigenetic mechanisms involved in T cell suppression and dysfunction. Here, screening of multiple epigenetic inhibitors revealed that targeting PRC2 consistently enhanced the cytotoxic/effector phenotype of CD8 T cells. Notably, PRC2 inhibition promoted the differentiation of GZMB+ effector memory 19BBζ CAR-T cells and enhanced their antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. Consistent with their long-lasting antitumor activity, PRC2-inhibited 19BBζ CAR-T cells did not exhibit any signs of dysfunctionality/exhaustion. Furthermore, TCR restimulation along with PRC2 inhibition of patient-derived anti-CD19 CAR-T cells also induced the development of GZMB+ effector memory cells and elicited potent antitumor responses against CD19+ Daudi cells. In line with this, the gene signature derived from in-house PRC2-inhibited 19BBζ CAR-T cells was enriched in tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) BBζ CAR-T cell therapy responders with large B-cell lymphoma. Collectively, our results demonstrated that targeting PRC2 may be a promising approach to enhance a functional effector program in CAR-T cells against hematological malignancies.

Single-cell profiling identifies pre-existing CD19-negative subclones in a B-ALL patient with CD19-negative relapse after CAR-T therapy

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) targeting the CD19 antigen represents an innovative therapeutic approach to improve the outcome of relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). Yet, despite a high initial remission rate, CAR-T therapy ultimately fails for some patients. Notably, around half of relapsing patients develop CD19 negative (CD19neg) B-ALL allowing leukemic cells to evade CD19-targeted therapy. Herein, we investigate leukemic cells of a relapsing B-ALL patient, at two-time points: before (T1) and after (T2) anti-CD19 CAR-T treatment. We show that at T2, the B-ALL relapse is CD19 negative due to the expression of a non-functional CD19 transcript retaining intron 2. Then, using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) approach, we demonstrate that CD19neg leukemic cells were present before CAR-T cell therapy and thus that the relapse results from the selection of these rare CD19neg B-ALL clones. In conclusion, our study shows that scRNAseq profiling can reveal pre-existing CD19neg subclones, raising the possibility to assess the risk of targeted therapy failure.

Single-cell CAR T atlas reveals type 2 function in 8-year leukaemia remission

Project description:Despite a high response rate in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T therapy for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), approximately 50% of patients relapse within the first year, representing an urgent question to address in the next stage of cellular immunotherapy. To investigate the molecular determinants of ultra-long CAR T persistence, we obtained single-cell multi-omics sequencing data from 695,819 pre-infusion CAR T cells at the basal level or upon CAR-specific stimulation from 82 pediatric ALL patients enrolled in the first two CAR T ALL clinical trials and 6 healthy donors. We identified that elevated type-2 functionality in CAR T infusion products was significantly associated with patients maintaining a median B-cell aplasia duration of 8.4 years. Analysis of ligand-receptor interactions unveiled that type-2 cells regulate a distinct dysfunctional population, and the addition of IL-4 during antigen-specific activation alleviates CAR T cell dysfunction while enhancing functional fitness at both transcriptomic and epigenomic levels. Serial proteomic profiling of post-infusion sera revealed a higher level of circulating type-2 cytokines in 5-year or 8-year relapse-free responders. In a leukemic mouse model, type-2 high CAR T products demonstrated superior expansion and antitumor activity particularly upon leukemia rechallenge. Restoring antitumor efficacy in type-2 low CAR T cells was attainable by enhancing their type-2 functionality, either through incorporating IL-4 into the manufacturing process or priming manufactured CAR T products with IL-4 prior to infusion. Our findings provide key insights into the mediators of CAR T longevity and suggest potential therapeutic strategies to sustain long-term remission by boosting type-2 functionality in CAR T cells.

Project description:Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T-cells have become established as an effective treatment of haematological cancers. In the context of relapsed and refractory childhood pre-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (B ALL), CD19 targeting CAR T-cells often induce durable remissions. Previously, we generated a novel low-affinity CAR incorporating a CD19-specific single-chain variable fragment (scFV) called CAT, displaying a faster off-rate of interaction than the FMC63 CD19 binder used in prior clinical studies. Here, we systematically analysed CD19 CAR T-cells of ten children with relapsed or refractory B ALL enrolled in the CARPALL trial (NCT02443831). To characterize persisting CD19 CAR T-cells, we performed high throughput single-cell gene expression and T-cell receptor (TCR) sequencing of infusion products and serial blood and bone marrow samples up to five years post-infusion. We isolated CAR T-cells from peripheral blood or bone marrow by flow cytometry for CD3 and CAR expression, prior to single cell sequencing (Chromium 10X) platform.
