AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy demonstrates complete responses and long durability of responses in patients with B cell malignancies, along with desired pharmacokinetic features, including prolonged CAR-T cell expansion and persistence, effectively treating B cell malignancies such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma and pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Problems solved by technology

Although CAR T cell therapy has led to tremendous clinical success, including durable remission in relapsed / refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the approved products are autologous and require patient-specific cell collection and manufacturing.

Preparation of CD19 Targeting Allogeneic CAR-T Cells

[0188]Allogeneic T cells expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific for CD19 were prepared from healthy donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells as described in US Publication No. US 2018-0325955, incorporated herein by reference. Briefly, primary human T cells were first electroporated with Cas9 or Cas9:sgRNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes targeting TRAC (AGAGCAACAGTGCTGTGGCC (SEQ ID NO: 26)) and B2M (GCTACTCTCTCTTTCTGGCC (SEQ ID NO: 27)). The DNA double stranded break at the TRAC locus was repaired by homology directed repair with an AAV6-delivered DNA template (SEQ ID NO: 56) containing right and left homology arms to the TRAC locus flanking a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cassette. The CAR comprised a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) derived from a murine antibody specific for CD19, a CD8 hinge region and transmembrane domain and a signaling domain comprising CD3z and CD28 signaling domains. The amino acid ...

Dose Escalation Study to Determine the Efficacy of CAR-T Cells in the Subcutaneous Raji Human Burkitt's Lymphoma Tumor Xenograft Model in NOG Mice

[0191]The efficacy of CD19 targeting CAR-T cells against the subcutaneous Raji Human Burkitt's Lymphoma tumor xenograft model in NOG mice was evaluated using methods employed by Translational Drug Development, LLC (Scottsdale, Ariz.). In brief, 12, 5-8 week old female, CIEA NOG (NOD.Cg-PrkdscidIl2rgtm1Sug / JicTac) mice were individually housed in ventilated microisolator cages, maintained under pathogen-free conditions, 5-7 days prior to the start of the study. On Day 1 mice received a subcutaneous inoculation of 5×106 Raji cells / mouse. The mice were further divided into 3 treatment groups as shown in Table 1. On Day 8 (7 days post inoculation with the Raji cells), treatment group 2 and group 3 received a single 200 μl intravenous dose of TRAC− / B2M− / anti-CD19 CAR+ cells (TC1) according to Table 1.

Assessment of CD19 Targeting CAR-T Cells Efficacy in Intravenous Disseminated Models in NOG Mice

[0194]To further assess the efficacy of TRAC− / B2M− / anti-CD19 CAR+ cells (TC1), disseminated mouse models were utilized.

[0195]Intravenous Disseminated Raji Human Burkitt's Lymphoma Tumor Xenograft Model

[0196]The Intravenous Disseminated Model (Disseminated Model) using the Raji Human Burkitt's Lymphoma tumor cell line in NOG mice was used to further demonstrate the efficacy of TC1. Efficacy of TC1 was evaluated in the Disseminated Model using methods employed by Translations Drug Development, LLC (Scottsdale, Ariz.) and described herein. In brief, 24, 5-8 week old female CIEA NOG (NOD.Cg-PrkdescidI12rgt1Sug / JicTac) mice were individually housed in ventilated microisolator cages, maintained under pathogen-free conditions, 5-7 days prior to the start of the study. At the start of the study, the mice were divided into 5 treatment groups as shown in Table 9. On Day 1 mice in Groups 2-5 receive...

Abstract

A population of genetically engineered immune cells (e.g., T cells), which express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to CD19 and contain a disrupted TRAC gene, a disrupted B2M gene, or both, for use in treating a B cell malignancy.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of the filing dates of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 840,913, filed Apr. 30, 2019, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies are adoptive T cell therapeutics used to treat human malignancies. Although CAR T cell therapy has led to tremendous clinical success, including durable remission in relapsed / refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), the approved products are autologous and require patient-specific cell collection and manufacturing. Because of this, some patients have experienced disease progression or death while awaiting treatment. Accordingly, there remains a need for improved CAR T cell therapeutics.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]The present disclosure is based, at least in part, on the development of allogeneic cell therapy for B cell mal...
