[Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0212] Detailed explanation I. Methods and Uses of Cell Therapy Using Genetically Modified Cells Methods and uses of modified cells (e.g., T cells) and / or compositions thereof for treating subjects having a disease or condition (generally, cancer or tumor (e.g., leukemia or lymphoma, most particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)) or including thereof). In some aspects, the methods and uses result in improved response and / or more sustained response or efficacy and / or a lower risk of toxicity or other side effects compared to certain alternative methods, for example, in a particular group of treated subjects. In some embodiments, the methods are advantageous by the benefits of administering a specified number or relative number of modified cells, administering a specific type of cell in a predetermined ratio, or treating a particular patient population, for example, a patient population having a particular risk profile, disease stage and / or treatment history and / or combination thereof. Methods are also provided that include evaluating certain parameters that may correlate with the manifestation of toxicity, for example, the expression or analysis of specific biomarkers, as well as methods for treatments to prevent and / or mitigate toxicity, for example, interventional therapies. Furthermore, methods are provided for evaluating outcomes after the application of immunotherapy and / or cell therapy, such as therapeutic outcomes, such as response, such as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), optionally sustained response, such as sustained response for at least 3 months, 6 months, or longer; or safety outcomes, such as the occurrence of toxicity, such as neurotoxicity or CRS, and specific parameters, such as the expression of specific biomarkers or analytes that may correlate with these outcomes. Methods are also provided for evaluating the likelihood of response and / or the likelihood of toxicity risk based on parameters, such as the expression of biomarkers or evaluation of analytes. Compositions for use in cell therapy are also provided. Furthermore, manufactured articles and kits for use in methods provided herein are also provided, for example. In some embodiments, manufactured articles and kits optionally include instructions for use in accordance with methods provided herein.
[0213] In some embodiments, methods and uses involve administering cells expressing genetically modified (recombinant) cell surface receptors in adoptive cell therapy, which are generally chimeric receptors, e.g., chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), that recognize antigens expressed by leukemia or lymphoma and / or cell types from which they originate, antigens associated with them, and / or antigens specific to them. The cells are generally administered in compositions formulated for administration; the methods generally involve administering one or more doses of cells to a target, which may include a specific number or relative number of cells or modified cells and / or two or more subtypes (e.g., CD4 T cells and CD8 T cells) in a specified ratio or composition in the composition.
[0214] In some embodiments, cells, populations, and compositions are administered to subjects having a specific disease or condition to be treated, for example, by adoptive cell therapy, for example, adoptive T cell therapy. In some embodiments, the method involves treating a subject having lymphoma or leukemia, for example, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), with a certain dose of antigen receptor-expressing cells (for example, CAR-expressing cells).
[0215] In some embodiments, the methods provided involve treating a specific group or subset of subjects, e.g., subjects identified as having a high-risk disease, e.g., high-risk NHL. In some aspects, the methods treat subjects with aggressive and / or poor-prognosis forms of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), e.g., relapsed or refractory to standard treatment (R / R) and having a poor prognosis. In some cases, the overall response rate (ORR; also known in some cases as objective response rate) to available treatments, standard treatments, or reference treatments directed to the disease and / or patient population is less than 40%, and / or the complete response rate (CR; also known in some cases as complete remission) is less than 20%. In some aspects, in chemotherapy-resistant DLBCL, the ORR with reference therapy, available treatment, or standard therapy is approximately 26%, and the CR rate is approximately 8% (Crump et al. Outomes in refractory aggressive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL): Results from the international SCHOLAR study. ASCO 2016 [Abstract 7516]). In some aspects, the methods, compositions, uses, and manufactured articles provided yield improved and superior responses compared to available therapies.
[0216] In some embodiments, the methods, uses, and manufactured articles involve or are used for the treatment of subjects, which involves selecting or identifying a particular group or subset of subjects (e.g., based on a specific disease type, diagnostic criteria, prior treatment, and / or response to prior treatment). In some embodiments, the methods involve treating subjects who have relapsed after remission following treatment with one or more prior treatments, or who are refractory to such prior treatments; or subjects who have relapsed or are refractory (R / R) to one or more prior treatments (e.g., first-line or subsequent standard treatment). In some embodiments, the methods involve treating subjects having diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), unspecified type (NOS; de novo and indolent transformed types), primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), or follicular lymphoma, e.g., follicular lymphoma grade 3B (FL3B). In some embodiments, the methods involve treating subjects having a Performance Status (ECOG) of 0-1 or 0-2 in the US East Coast Cancer Clinical Trials Group. In some embodiments, the method treats poor-prognosis populations or DLBCL patients or subjects who generally have an insufficient response to treatment or a specific reference treatment, for example, poor-prognosis populations or DLBCL patients or subjects with one or more, for example, two or three chromosomal translocations (e.g., poor-prognosis populations or DLBCL patients or subjects with so-called “double-hit” or “triple-hit” lymphoma; MYC / 8q24 locus translocation, usually in combination with the t(14;18)(q32;q21)bcl-2 gene, or / and BCL6 / 3q27 chromosomal translocation; see, e.g., Xu et al. (2013) Int J Clin Exp Pathol. 6(4):788-794), and / or poor-prognosis populations or DLBCL patients or subjects who have relapsed (optionally within 12 months) after autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), and / or poor-prognosis populations or DLBCL patients or subjects who are considered chemotherapy-resistant.
[0217] In some aspects, the embodiments provided are based on observations that the methods provided can be used to obtain high response rates with greater persistence compared to certain available methods for cell therapy without high toxicity risks. In some embodiments, the methods provided enable long-term persistence and / or low toxicity rates of adoptive cells for cell therapy in subjects. In some embodiments, the methods can be used to select subjects for treatment in cell therapy who are likely to respond to treatment, or who will likely respond to treatment, and / or to determine appropriate doses or regimens for high response rates and / or more sustained responses with minimal toxicity risks. Such methods can provide information for rational strategies to facilitate the safe and effective clinical application of adoptive cell therapy, such as CAR-T cell therapy.
[0218] In some embodiments, an antigen receptor (e.g., CAR) specifically binds to a target antigen associated with the disease or condition, such as a target antigen associated with NHL. In some embodiments, the antigen associated with the disease or disorder is selected from CD20, CD19, CD22, ROR1, CD45, CD21, CD5, CD33, Ig kappa, Ig lambda, CD79a, CD79b, or CD30.
[0219] In some embodiments, the method includes the step of administering cells or a composition containing cells to a subject, tissue, or cell (e.g., one that has, is at risk of, or is suspected of having, a disease, condition, or disorder). In some embodiments, the subject is an adult subject. In some embodiments, the subject is 30 years or about 30 years old, 40 years or about 40 years old, 50 years or about 50 years old, 60 years or about 60 years old, or 70 years or about 70 years old or older.
[0220] In some embodiments, the method involves administering cells to subjects selected or identified as having a specific prognosis or risk of NHL. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) can be a diverse disease. Some subjects with NHL may survive without treatment, while others may require immediate intervention. In some cases, subjects with NHL may be classified into groups from which information on disease prognosis and / or recommended treatment strategies can be obtained. In some cases, such groups may be “low-risk,” “intermediate-risk,” “high-risk,” and / or “very high-risk,” and patients may be classified into such groups based on several factors, for example, but not limited to, genetic abnormalities and / or morphological or physical characteristics. In some embodiments, subjects treated according to the method and / or by the manufactured article or composition are classified or identified based on their risk of NHL. In some embodiments, the subjects are those with high-risk NHL.
[0221] In some embodiments, the subject has been previously treated with a treatment or therapeutic agent targeting the disease or condition, e.g., NHL, prior to the administration of cells expressing the recombinant receptor. In some embodiments, the subject has been previously treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), e.g., allogeneic HSCT or autogeneic HSCT. In some embodiments, the subject had a poor prognosis after treatment with standard therapy and / or had no response to first-line or subsequent prior treatment. In some embodiments, the subject has been treated with, or has previously received, at least one or about one, at least two or at least two or about two, at least three or at least three or about three, or at least four or at least four or about four other treatments for treating NHL other than lymphocyte apheresis, and / or administration of cells expressing the antigen receptor in the dose thereof. In some embodiments, the subject has been previously treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy. In some aspects, the subjects are refractory or unresponsive to other treatments or therapeutic agents. In some embodiments, the subjects have persistent or recurrent disease after, for example, another treatment or therapeutic intervention, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
[0222] In some embodiments, the subject is eligible for transplantation, for example, a subject eligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), for example, a subject eligible for allogeneic HSCT. In some such embodiments, the subject, despite being eligible, has not previously undergone transplantation prior to administration of modified cells (e.g., CAR-T cells) or compositions containing such cells to the subject as described herein.
[0223] In some embodiments, the subjects are unsuitable for transplantation, for example, unsuitable for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), for example, allogeneic HSCT. In some embodiments, such subjects are administered modified cells (e.g., CAR-T cells) or compositions containing such cells according to the embodiments provided herein.
[0224] In some embodiments, the method involves administering cells to subjects selected or identified as having high-risk NHL. In some embodiments, the subjects exhibit one or more cytogenetic abnormalities associated with high-risk NHL, for example. In some embodiments, the subjects are selected or identified on the basis of having a disease or condition characterized or determined to be aggressive NHL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), T-cell / histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (TCHRBCL), Burkitt lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and / or follicular lymphoma (FL). In certain embodiments, subjects treated using the methods provided herein include subjects with aggressive NHL, particularly those with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), unspecified type (NOS; de novo and indolent-transformed types), primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), or follicular lymphoma grade 3B (FL3B). In some embodiments, subjects have a poor performance status. In some aspects, the treated population includes subjects with an East Coast Cancer Clinical Trials Group Performance Status (ECOG) of 0 to 2. In other aspects of any of the embodiments, the treated subjects include subjects with ECOG 0 to 1 or do not include subjects with ECOG 2. In some aspects of any of the embodiments, the treated subjects have failed two or more prior treatments. In some embodiments, the subjects do not have marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) or DLBCL transformed from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL; Richter). In some embodiments, subjects with CLL may exhibit Richter syndrome (RS), defined as the transformation of CLL to aggressive lymphoma, most commonly to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (see, e.g., Parikh et al. Blood 2014 123:1647-1657). In some embodiments, subjects have mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). In some embodiments, subjects are characterized by a poor overall survival rate.In some embodiments, subjects have never achieved a complete response (CR), have never undergone autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), are refractory to one or more second-line therapies, have a primary refractory disease, and / or have an ECOG performance score of 2.
[0225] In some embodiments, subjects to be treated include those with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), de novo or indolent lymphoma-transformed (NOS), primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), and follicular lymphoma grade 3b (FL3B) after failure of two lines of treatment, and who have an ECOG score of 0-2, and who may optionally have previously been treated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). In some embodiments, such subjects may be referred to as a “full cohort.” In some embodiments, subjects are selected for treatment with adoptive cell therapy if they meet the aforementioned criteria. In some embodiments, within the group ("full cohort"), subjects are not selected for treatment or are excluded from treatment if they have a poor performance status (e.g., ECOG 2) and / or have DLBCL transformed from marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, Richter). Therefore, in some embodiments, subjects are selected for treatment if they have diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), de novo or indolent lymphoma-transformed (NOS), primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), and follicular lymphoma grade 3b (FL3B) after failure of two lines of treatment, and have an ECOG score of 0 or 1, and subjects may optionally have been previously treated with allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), but do not have marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) or DLBCL transformed from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL, Richter). In some embodiments, such a group of subjects may be referred to as a “core cohort”. In some embodiments, the subjects to be treated are subjects of the “core cohort”.
[0226] In some aspects, the provided embodiments are based on observations that a specific target population, e.g., a “core cohort,” to which a particular dose of cell therapy is applied exhibits a complete response (CR) rate of over 55%, an overall response rate (ORR) of over 80% with high persistence, e.g., maintained over a long period, e.g., longer than 3 months, with a 3-month ORR of over 65% and a 3-month CR rate of approximately 50%. In particular, the observations provided indicate that the 3-month ORR is higher in patients with two or three chromosomal translocations ("double-hit" or "triple-hit" lymphomas; typically a translocation of the MYC / 8q24 locus, usually in combination with the t(14;18)(q32;q21)bcl-2 gene, or / or a BCL6 / 3q27 chromosomal translocation; see, e.g., Xu et al. (2013) Int J Clin Exp Pathol. 6(4):788-794), primary refractory lymphoma, patients with chemotherapy-resistant DLBCL, and patients who have never previously achieved a complete response (CR).
[0227] In some aspects, compositions, methods, and uses are provided for the administration of cell therapies of a prescribed composition at specific doses associated with high response rates and / or high duration of response, as well as low toxicity levels and / or incidence of toxicity. In some embodiments, the composition or dose administered is a uniform dose and / or fixed dose of cells and / or one or more cells having a particular phenotype, e.g., a strictly uniform dose, e.g., a numerical value in which the variability or dispersion is within a specific range and / or degree compared to a specific number or target value of such cells. In some embodiments, the composition or dose administered is a CD4 of a prescribed ratio. + Cells and CD8 + Cells (e.g., CD4) + CAR + T cells: CD8 + CAR + Includes ratios in which the T cell ratio is 1:1) and / or ratios in which the variability from said ratio is within a certain degree (e.g., within ±10%, e.g., within ±8%), e.g., ratios in which the degree of variability or dispersion is ±10% or less, e.g., ±8% or less. In some embodiments, CD4 +Cells and CD8 + Cells are individually formulated and administered. In some embodiments, the administered cells exhibit consistent activity and / or function, e.g., cytokine production, apoptosis, and / or proliferation. In some embodiments, the provided composition exhibits highly consistent prescribed activity, as well as low variability in terms of cell number, cellular function, and / or cellular activity between cells in the composition, or low variability between preparations. In some embodiments, consistency in activity and / or function, e.g., low variability between preparations of the composition, allows for improved efficacy and / or safety. In some embodiments, administration of a prescribed composition resulted in lower product variability and lower toxicity, e.g., CRS or neurotoxicity, compared to administration of cell compositions with high heterogeneity. Also in some embodiments, consistent prescribed composition demonstrates consistent cell proliferation. Such consistency can facilitate dose determination, therapeutic range, dose-response evaluation, and identification of target factors that may correlate with safety or toxicity outcomes.
[0228] In some embodiments, a sustained response rate of over 60% may be achieved at 6 months in a specific cohort of subjects receiving a single infusion at a particular dose level. In some embodiments, a total response rate (ORR, also known in some cases as objective response rate), a complete response (CR) rate of over 60%, and / or a high sustained CR rate at 6 months may be achieved in a specific cohort of subjects. In some embodiments, subjects receiving the prescribed dose show improved safety outcomes, e.g., more than two-thirds of subjects do not show any CRS or NT. In some aspects, the rate of severe CRS or severe NT is low. In some embodiments, high exposure (e.g., C) observed at a particular prescribed dose is not observed. max and AUC 0-28) is not accompanied by toxicity, such as an increase in CRS or NT. In some embodiments, specific target factors, such as specific biomarkers, may be used to predict toxicity risk. In some embodiments, using the provided embodiments, high response rates may be obtained with a low toxicity risk.
[0229] In some embodiments, of subjects treated with the provided compositions, manufactured articles, kits, methods, and uses, the amount of active agents (e.g., tocilizumab and / or dexamethasone) administered either before or after the application of cell therapy is less than 25%, less than 20%, less than 15%, less than 10%, or less than 5%. In some embodiments, no prophylactic measures are administered to subjects prior to the administration of modified cells (e.g., CAR-T cells).
[0230] In some embodiments, the embodiments provided offer advantages, for example, enabling the application of cell therapy on an outpatient basis. In some embodiments, cell therapy, for example, administration of T cells in doses according to the embodiments (embodimnents), can be performed on an outpatient basis or without requiring hospitalization to a target hospital, for example, a hospital stay requiring an overnight stay. In some embodiments, such outpatient administration may enable increased accessibility and cost reduction while maintaining low toxicity and high sustained response rates. In some cases, outpatient treatment may be advantageous for patients who are already immunocompromised in some other way due to previous treatment, for example, after lymphodepletion, and who are at higher risk of exposure during hospital stays or in an inpatient setting. Also in some cases, outpatient treatment increases the treatment options for subjects who may not have access to hospitalization, hospital settings, or transplant centers, thereby broadening the availability of treatment. In some embodiments, subjects treated on an outpatient basis with the provided compositions, manufactured articles, kits, methods and uses remain in an outpatient state for at least three days, or a certain percentage (%) of subjects treated in this manner, e.g., at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, or at least 95%, remain in an outpatient state for at least three days. In some aspects, subjects remain in an outpatient state for at least four, five, six, seven, eight days, or longer. In some embodiments, subjects treated with the provided compositions, manufactured articles, kits, methods and uses exhibit a reduction in the duration of hospital stay by, for example, at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, or at least 40% compared to subjects treated with other compositions, manufactured articles, kits, methods and uses.
[0231] In some embodiments, methods, cells, and compositions may result in high sustained response rates for a range of patient characteristics and / or tumor burden targets. In some embodiments, methods, cells, and compositions may result in high sustained response rates with a low risk of adverse effects or toxicity in high-risk patients with poor prognosis. In some embodiments, methods and uses may result in or yield high response rates and / or more sustained responses or efficacy and / or a low risk of toxicity or other side effects that may be associated with cell therapy, such as neurotoxicity (NT) or cytokine release syndrome (CRS). In some aspects, the provided observations have shown a low proportion of severe NT (sNT) or severe CRS (sCRS) and a high proportion of patients without either toxicity, such as NT or CRS.
[0232] In some embodiments, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, or at least 75%, or more, of subjects treated according to the provided method and / or the provided manufactured article or composition achieve complete response (CR). In some embodiments, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, or at least 90%, of subjects treated according to the provided method and / or the provided manufactured article or composition achieve objective response (OR). In some embodiments, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or more, of subjects treated according to the provided method and / or the provided manufactured article or composition achieve CR or OR within one month, two months, or three months.
[0233] In some embodiments, within three, four, five, six months, seven, eight, or nine months, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or more of subjects treated according to the provided method and / or subjects treated with the provided manufactured article or composition, after three, four, five, six months, or longer, following the initiation of cell therapy. In some embodiments, such responses, e.g., CR or OR, persist for at least three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine months, in, for example, at least 60% or about 60%, at least 70% or about 70%, at least 80% or about 80%, at least 90% or at least about 90%, at least 95%, or more of subjects treated according to the provided method, or in such subjects that have achieved CR by one month or three months. In some embodiments, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or more of subjects treated according to the provided method and / or subjects treated with the provided manufactured article or composition, or such subjects that achieve CR by one month or three months, survive or survive without progression for three or about three months, four or about four months, five or about five months, six or about six months, seven or about seven months, eight or about eight months, or nine or about nine months.
[0234] In some embodiments, the resulting response observed in such subjects by treatment according to the provided method and / or with the provided manufactured article or composition is associated with any low-risk toxicity or low-risk severe toxicity in the majority of the treated subjects, or results in any low-risk toxicity or low-risk severe toxicity in the majority of the treated subjects. In some embodiments, more than 30% or about 30%, more than 35% or about 35%, more than 40% or about 40%, more than 50% or about 50%, more than 55% or about 55%, more than 60% or about 60%, or more of the subjects treated according to the provided method and / or with the provided manufactured article or composition do not exhibit any grade of CRS or any grade of neurotoxicity (NT). In some embodiments, more than 50% or about 50%, more than 60% or about 60%, more than 70% or about 70%, more than 80% or about 80%, or more subjects treated according to the provided method and / or the provided manufactured article or composition, do not exhibit severe CRS or Grade 3 or higher CRS. In some embodiments, more than 50% or about 50%, more than 60% or about 60%, more than 70% or about 70%, more than 80% or about 80%, or more subjects treated according to the provided method and / or the provided manufactured article or composition, do not exhibit severe neurotoxicity or Grade 3 or higher neurotoxicity, e.g., Grade 4 or 5 neurotoxicity.
[0235] In some embodiments, at least 45 or about 45%, at least 50 or about 50%, at least 60 or about 60%, at least 65 or about 65%, at least 70 or about 70%, at least 75 or about 75%, at least 80 or about 80%, at least 85 or about 85%, at least 90 or about 90%, or at least 95 or about 95% of subjects treated according to the method and / or with the provided manufactured articles or compositions do not exhibit early-onset CRS or neurotoxicity, and / or do not exhibit the onset of CRS earlier than day 1, day 2, day 3, or day 4 after the start of the administration. In some embodiments, at least 45 or about 45%, at least 50 or about 50%, at least 60 or about 60%, at least 65 or about 65%, at least 70 or about 70%, at least 75 or about 75%, at least 80 or about 80%, at least 85 or about 85%, at least 90 or about 90%, or at least 95 or about 95% of subjects treated according to the method and / or with the provided manufactured article or composition do not exhibit the onset of neurotoxicity earlier than day 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 after the start of such administration. In some aspects, the median onset of neurotoxicity in subjects treated according to the method and / or with the provided manufactured article or composition is the median peak of CRS in subjects treated according to the method or thereafter, or the median time to the resolution of CRS in subjects treated according to the method or thereafter. In some cases, the median onset of neurotoxicity in subjects treated according to the method is 8 or approximately 8 days later, 9 or approximately 9 days later, 10 or approximately 10 days later, or 11 or approximately 11 days later.
[0236] In some aspects, such results are 5 × 10 7 Or approximately 5 x 10 7 ~1.5×10 8 Or approximately 1.5 x 10 8 pieces, for example, 5 x 10 7 ~1 × 10 81001 + T cells or specific types of CARs + T cells, for example, CD4 + CAR + T cells and / or CD8 + CAR + CD4 cells administered in numbers that are + or - (plus or minus, sometimes expressed as ±) 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15% of a specified degree of dispersion of any of such cells, for example, compared to such a precise number or uniform number or fixed number. + and CD8 + This is observed after administration of a certain dose of T cells, including T cells. In some embodiments, such a uniform or fixed number of cells is, for example, total CAR + T cell or CD8 + and / or CD4 + CAR + T cells, 2.5 × 10 7 Or approximately 2.5 x 10 7 , 5×10 7 Or approximately 5 x 10 7 , 10×10 7 Or approximately 10 x 10 7 , 15×10 7 Or approximately 15 x 10 7 , or 20×10 7 Or approximately 20 x 10 7 The number of cells in a dose is 5 × 10⁶. In some embodiments, the number of cells in a dose is 5 × 10⁶. 7 CD4 + CAR + T cells (optional 2.5 x 10 7 CD4 + CAR + T cells and 2.5 × 10 7 CD8 + CAR +It contains, or consists of, or is essentially composed of (T cells); in some embodiments, this is 10 × 10 7 individual CAR + T cells (optional 5 x 10 7 CD4 + CAR + T cells and 5 × 10 7 CD8 + CAR + It contains, consists of, or essentially consists of T cells. In some aspects, the number of cells administered is within a certain degree of dispersion of such number in the aforementioned aspects, for example, within plus or minus (±) 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10% compared to such number of cells, for example, within plus or minus 8%. In some aspects, the dose is such that the number of cells (e.g., total CAR cells) is within plus or minus 8%. + T cell or CD8 + and / or CD4 + CAR + Within a range where a correlation (optionally linear) is observed between the number of T cells and one or more outcomes indicating the effectiveness or duration of treatment (e.g., the likelihood of achieving remission, complete remission, and / or a specific duration of remission) and / or the duration of any of the aforementioned. In some aspects, it has been observed that higher doses of administered cells may lead to greater effectiveness without affecting, or substantially affecting, the incidence or risk of toxicity (e.g., CRS or neurotoxicity) or the degree of toxicity in the subject, such as the incidence or risk of severe CRS or severe neurotoxicity.
[0237] In some aspects, the methods provided are based on high or specific response rates (e.g., response rates in a population evaluated after a specific period following application (e.g., 3 months or 6 months)), e.g., ≥40%, ≥45%, ≥50%, ≥55%, ≥60%, ≥65%, ≥70%, ≥75%, ≥80%, ≥81%, ≥82%, ≥83%, ≥84%, or ≥85%, or higher ORR (e.g., 6-month ORR or 3-month ORR), and ≥30%, ≥35%, ≥40%. It is possible to achieve a complete response rate (CR) of 45% or higher, 50% or higher, 55% or higher, 60% or higher, 65% or higher, 70% or higher, 71%, 72%, 73%, or higher, or approximately 75% or higher (e.g., a 6-month CR rate or a 3-month CR rate), which is also sustained, for example, over a specific period or at least over a specific period, for example, for more than 1 month, more than 3 months, or more than 6 months or longer, or for 9 months or longer, after the start of treatment. In some embodiments, such response rates and persistence are obtained after only a single application or dose of such treatment. Furthermore, treatment of such a subject by the method provided and / or with the provided manufactured articles or compositions will, in some embodiments, result in a high response rate in the subject without exhibiting toxicity, such as neurotoxicity or a high incidence of CRS, even at high cellular doses. In some embodiments, about 50% or more than 50%, about 55% or more than 55%, or about 60% or more than 60% of subjects achieving such response do not develop any grade of toxicity, for example, no grade of CRS and / or neurotoxicity.
[0238] Therefore, in some embodiments, the methods, manufactured articles and / or compositions provided may offer advantages over other available methods, solutions or approaches for treatment, such as adoptive cell therapy. In particular, some embodiments provided offer advantages for subjects with high-risk NHL by achieving a high rate of sustained response with a low incidence of toxicity or side effects.
[0239] A. Treatment method This specification provides methods for treatment involving the administration of modified cells, such as modified T cells, or compositions containing modified cells. Also provided are methods involving the administration of modified cells and / or compositions thereof, as well as the use of modified cells (e.g., T cells) and / or compositions thereof, for example, for the treatment of subjects with a disease or condition, such as leukemia or lymphoma, such as non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In some embodiments, the methods and uses provided may yield improved response and / or more sustained response or efficacy and / or a lower risk of toxicity or other side effects compared to certain alternative methods, for example, in a particular group of treated subjects. Furthermore, in some aspects, methods are provided for administering modified cells, such as modified T cells, or compositions containing modified cells, to subjects, such as subjects with a disease or disorder. Also, in some aspects, the use of modified cells, such as modified T cells, or compositions containing modified cells for the treatment of a disease or disorder is provided. Furthermore, in some aspects, the use of modified cells, such as modified T cells, or compositions containing modified cells for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals for the treatment of a disease or disorder is provided. Furthermore, in some aspects, methods are provided for administering modified cells, such as modified T cells, or compositions containing modified cells, for use in the treatment of a disease or disorder, or for administration to a subject having a disease or disorder. In some aspects, the use of modified cells, such as modified T cells, or compositions containing modified cells is carried out according to any of the methods described herein.
[0240] General methods for administering cells for adoptive cell therapy are known and can be used in conjunction with the methods and compositions provided. For example, methods for adoptive T cell therapy are described, for example, in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2003 / 0170238 to Gruenberg et al.; U.S. Patent No. 4,690,915 to Rosenberg; Rosenberg (2011) Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 8(10):577-85). See, for example, Themeli et al. (2013) Nat Biotechnol. 31(10):928-933; Tsukahara et al. (2013) Biochem Biophys Res Commun 438(1):84-9; and Davila et al. (2013) PLoS ONE 8(4):e61338.
[0241] The disease or condition being treated may be any in which the expression of an antigen is associated with the pathogenesis of the disease, condition or disorder, and / or is involved in the pathogenesis of the disease, condition or disorder, for example, causing, exacerbating, or otherwise being involved in such disease, condition or disorder. Examples of diseases and conditions may include diseases or conditions associated with malignant tumors or cell transformations (e.g., cancer), autoimmune or inflammatory diseases, or infectious diseases caused by, for example, bacterial pathogens, viral pathogens or other pathogens. Example antigens, including those associated with various diseases and conditions that can be treated, are described above. In certain embodiments, the chimeric antigen receptor or transgenic TCR specifically binds to the antigen associated with the disease or condition.
[0242] These diseases, conditions, and disorders include tumors, such as solid tumors, hematopoietic malignancies, and melanomas, as well as localized and metastatic tumors, infectious diseases, such as infections caused by viruses or other pathogens, such as HIV, HCV, HBV, CMV, and HPV, as well as parasitic diseases, and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. In some embodiments, the disease, disorder, or condition is a tumor, cancer, malignant tumor, neoplasm, or other proliferative disease or disorder. Such diseases include, but are not limited to, leukemia and lymphoma, such as acute myeloid (or myelogenous) leukemia (AML), chronic myeloid (or myelogenous) leukemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic (or lymphoblastic) leukemia (ALL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), hairy cell leukemia (HCL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), follicular lymphoma, refractory follicular lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and multiple myeloma (MM). In some embodiments, the disease or condition is a B-cell malignancy selected from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), adult ALL, chronic lymphoblastic leukemia (CLL), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). In some embodiments, the disease or condition is NHL, which is selected from the group consisting of aggressive NHL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), NOS (de novo and indolent transformed types), primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), T-cell / histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma (TCHRBCL), Burkitt lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), and / or follicular lymphoma (FL), optionally follicular lymphoma grade 3B (FL3B).
[0243] In some aspects, NHL can be staging based on the Lugano classification (see, e.g., Cheson et al., (2014) JCO 32(27):3059-3067; Cheson, BD (2015) Chin Clin Oncol 4(1):5). In some cases, the stage is indicated by Roman numerals I-IV (1-4), with E indicating localized stage (I or II) lymphoma affecting non-lymphatic organs (extranodal organs). Stage I represents infiltration into one lymph node or adjacent lymph node groups, or a single extranodal lesion (IE) without lymph node infiltration. Stage II represents stage I or II depending on the extent of lymph node involvement, with infiltration into two or more lymph node groups on the same diaphragmatic side, or localized contiguous extranodal infiltration (IIE). Stage III represents intranodal infiltration in lymph nodes bilateral to or above the diaphragm, with splenic infiltration. Stage IV represents discontinuous further extralymphatic infiltration. In addition, the term "giant mass lesion" may be used to describe large tumors in the chest, particularly in Stage II. The severity of the disease is determined by positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) for avid lymphomas and by CT for non-avid histology.
[0244] In some embodiments, the East Coast Clinical Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status Scale can be used to evaluate subjects, for example, those with poor outcomes in prior treatments, or to select subjects, for example, those with poor outcomes in prior treatments, for treatment (see, e.g., Oken et al. (1982) Am J Clin Oncol. 5:649-655). The ECOG Performance Status Scale indicates a patient's level of functionality in terms of their ability to care for themselves, daily activities, and physical abilities (e.g., walking, working). In some embodiments, an ECOG Performance Status of 0 indicates that the subject is able to perform normal activities. In some cases, a subject with an ECOG Performance Status of 1 shows some limitations in physical activity, but their walking is complete. In some cases, a patient with an ECOG Performance Status of 2 walks more than 50%. Furthermore, in some cases, individuals with an ECOG performance status of 2 may be able to perform basic self-care tasks; see, for example, Sorensen et al., (1993) Br J Cancer 67(4)773-775. The criteria reflecting ECOG performance status are shown in Table 1 below: (Table 1) ECOG Performance Status Criteria TIFF0007871011000001.tif82164
[0245] In some embodiments, the subjects are identified as having or possessing double / triple-hit lymphoma or lymphoma of a double / triple-hit molecular subtype. In some embodiments, the lymphoma is a double-hit lymphoma characterized by the presence of gene rearrangements (e.g., translocations) in MYC (myelocyte neoplasm), BCL2 (B-cell lymphoma 2), and / or BCL6 (B-cell lymphoma 6). In some embodiments, the gene rearrangement affects the MYC / 8q24 locus in combination with another gene rearrangement. For example, other gene rearrangements include t(14;18)(q32;q21) involved in BCL2. In some embodiments, the gene rearrangement affects the MYC / 8q24 locus in combination with BCL6 / 3q27. In some embodiments, the lymphoma is a triple-hit lymphoma characterized by the presence of gene rearrangements in MYC, BCL2, and BCL6; see, e.g., Aukema et al., (2011) Blood 117:2319-2331. In some aspects of such embodiments, the subjects are ECOG 0-1 or do not have or are not suspected of having transformed DLBCL from MZL or CLL, or are not characterized as having transformed DLBCL from MZL or CLL.

[0249] In some embodiments, cell therapy, such as adoptive T-cell therapy, is carried out by autotransfer, in which cells are isolated from or derived from a subject to be treated with cell therapy, and / or prepared in other ways. Thus, in some aspects, the cells originate from a subject requiring treatment, such as a patient, and these cells are administered to the same subject after isolation and processing.
[0250] In some embodiments, cell therapy, such as adoptive T-cell therapy, is carried out by allogeneic transfer, in which cells are isolated from a subject other than the subject intended to receive cell therapy or a subject other than the subject ultimately receiving cell therapy, e.g., a first subject, and / or prepared in another manner. In such embodiments, the cells are then administered to a different subject of the same species, e.g., a second subject. In some embodiments, the first and second subjects are genetically identical. In some embodiments, the first and second subjects are genetically similar. In some embodiments, the second subject expresses the same HLA class or supertype as the first subject.
[0251] Cells may be administered by any suitable means, for example, by bolus infusion, injection, such as intravenous or subcutaneous injection, intraocular injection, periocular injection, subretinal injection, intravitreous injection, transseptal injection, subscleral injection, intrachoroidal injection, intracapsular injection, subconjectval injection, subconjuntival injection, subtenon's capsule injection, retrobulbar injection, peribulbar injection, or posterior juxtascleral delivery. In some embodiments, cells are administered parenterally, intrapulmonaryly and intranasally, and intrafocally if local treatment is desired. Parenteral infusions include intramuscular, intravenous, intra-arterial, intraperitoneal, or subcutaneous administration. In some embodiments, a given dose is administered by a single bolus of the cells. In some embodiments, the dose is administered by repeated bolus administrations of the cells over a period of, for example, three days or less, or by continuous infusions of the cells. In some embodiments, the administration of the cell dose or any additional treatment, such as lymphocyte apheresis, interventional therapy, and / or combination therapy, is performed on an outpatient basis.
[0252] For the prevention or treatment of disease, the appropriate dosage may depend on the type of disease being treated, the type of cells or recombinant receptor, the severity and course of the disease (whether the cell administration is for preventive or therapeutic purposes), previous treatments, the subject's medical history and response to the cells, and the discretion of the attending physician. In several embodiments, the composition and cells are appropriately administered to the subject in a single dose or in a series of treatments.
[0253] In some embodiments, cells are administered as part of a concomitant treatment, for example, concurrently with another therapeutic intervention or additional therapeutic intervention (e.g., an antibody or modified cells or receptors or activators, e.g., cytotoxic agents or therapeutic agents), or sequentially in any order. In some embodiments, cells are co-administered with one or more additional therapeutic agents, or in conjunction with another therapeutic intervention, either concurrently or sequentially in any order. In some embodiments, the additional therapeutic agent is any of the interventions or activators described herein, e.g., any of the interventions or activators described in Section II of this specification, e.g., that can alleviate symptoms of toxicity. In some situations, cells are co-administered with another therapeutic treatment in close proximity in time so that the cell population enhances the effect of one or more additional therapeutic agents, or vice versa. In some embodiments, cells are administered before the one or more additional therapeutic agents. In some embodiments, cells are administered after the one or more additional therapeutic agents. In some embodiments, the one or more additional activators include, for example, cytokines for enhancing persistence, e.g., IL-2. In some embodiments, the method includes the administration of a chemotherapeutic agent.
[0254] In some embodiments, the method includes, for example, the administration of a chemotherapeutic agent, such as a pre-treatment chemotherapeutic agent, to reduce the tumor burden before the administration.
[0255] Pre-treatment of subjects undergoing immunodepletion (e.g., lymphocyte apheresis) therapy may improve the efficacy of adoptive cell therapy (ACT) in several aspects.
[0256] Accordingly, in some embodiments, the method includes administering a pre-treatment agent, such as a lymphocyte scavenger or a chemotherapeutic agent, such as cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, or a combination thereof, to the subject before the initiation of cell therapy. For example, the pre-treatment agent may be administered to the subject at least two days before the initiation of cell therapy, for example, at least three days, at least four days, at least five days, at least six days, or at least seven days before. In some embodiments, the pre-treatment agent is administered to the subject within seven days of the initiation of cell therapy, for example, within six, five, four, three, or two days.
[0257] In some embodiments, subjects are pre-treated with cyclophosphamide at a dose of 20 mg / kg or approximately 20 mg / kg to 100 mg / kg, for example, 40 mg / kg or approximately 40 mg / kg to 80 mg / kg or approximately 80 mg / kg. In some embodiments, subjects are pre-treated with 60 mg / kg or approximately 60 mg / kg of cyclophosphamide. In some embodiments, cyclophosphamide may be administered in a single dose or in multiple doses, for example, daily, every other day, or every three days. In some embodiments, cyclophosphamide is administered once daily over one or two days. In some embodiments, if the lymphocyte scavenging agent contains cyclophosphamide, the cyclophosphamide dose is 100 or approximately 100 mg / m². 2 ~500 or approximately 500 mg / m² 2 For example, 200 or approximately 200 mg / m² 2 ~400 or approximately 400 mg / m² 2 , or 250 or approximately 250 mg / m² 2 ~350 or approximately 350 mg / m² 2 The drug is administered to the subject at the following doses (including the values at both ends). In some cases, the subject is given approximately 300 mg / m². 2Cyclophosphamide is administered. In some embodiments, cyclophosphamide may be administered in a single dose or in multiple doses, for example, daily, every other day, or every three days. In some embodiments, cyclophosphamide is administered daily, for example, for 1 to 5 days, or for example, for 3 to 5 days. In some cases, approximately 300 mg / m² is administered before the start of cell therapy. 2 The patient is administered cyclophosphamide daily for three days.
[0258] In some embodiments, if the lymphocyte-depleting agent contains fludarabine, the amount of fludarabine is 1 or about 1 mg / m². 2 ~100 or approximately 100 mg / m² 2 For example, 10 or approximately 10 mg / m² 2 ~75 or approximately 75 mg / m² 2 15 or approximately 15 mg / m² 2 ~50 or approximately 50 mg / m² 2 20 or approximately 20 mg / m² 2 ~40 or approximately 40 mg / m² 2 , or 24 or approximately 24 mg / m² 2 ~35 or approximately 35 mg / m² 2 The drug is administered to the subject at the following doses (including both extreme values). In some cases, approximately 30 mg / m² 2 Fludarabine is administered to the target. In some embodiments, fludarabine may be administered in a single dose or in multiple doses, for example, daily, every other day, or every three days. In some embodiments, fludarabine is administered daily, for example, for 1 to 5 days, or for example, for 3 to 5 days. In some cases, approximately 30 mg / m² is administered before the start of cell therapy. 2 Fludarabine is administered to the subjects daily for three days.
[0259] In some embodiments, the lymphocyte scavenging agent includes a combination of agents, for example, a combination of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. Thus, the combination of agents may include any dose or administration schedule, for example, cyclophosphamide and any dose or administration schedule, for example, fludarabine. For example, in some aspects, before the initial dose or subsequent doses, 60 mg / kg (approximately 2 g / m²) may be administered. 2 ) Cyclophosphamide and 3-5 doses of 25 mg / m² 2 Fludarabine is administered to the target patient.
[0260] Following administration of the cells, the biological activity of the modified cell population in several embodiments is measured by, for example, one of several known methods. Parameters to be evaluated include, for example, the specific binding of modified T cells or native T cells or other immune cells to antigens in vivo by imaging or ex vivo by, for example, ELISA or flow cytometry. In certain embodiments, the ability of modified cells to destroy target cells can be measured using any suitable known method, such as the cytotoxicity assays described in, for example, Kochenderfer et al., J.Immunotherapy, 32(7):689-702 (2009) and Herman et al. J.Immunological Methods, 285(1):25-40 (2004). In certain embodiments, the biological activity of the cells is measured by assaying the expression and / or secretion of one or more cytokines (e.g., CD107a, IFNγ, IL-2, and TNF). In some aspects, biological activity is measured by evaluating clinical outcomes, such as a reduction in tumor burden or tumor cell volume.
[0261] In certain embodiments, modified cells are further modified in any number of ways to enhance their therapeutic or prophylactic efficacy. For example, a modified CAR or TCR expressed by the population may be conjugated to the targeting moiety either directly or indirectly via a linker. The practice of conjugating compounds, e.g., CARs or TCRs, to the targeting moiety is publicly known. See, for example, Wadwa et al., J. Drug Targeting 3:1 1 1 (1995) and U.S. Patent 5,087,616. In some embodiments, cells are administered as part of a combination treatment, for example, concurrently with another therapeutic intervention (e.g., an antibody or modified cells or receptor or activator, e.g., a cytotoxic agent or therapeutic agent), or sequentially in any order. In some embodiments, cells are co-administered with one or more additional therapeutic agents, or in conjunction with another therapeutic intervention, either concurrently or sequentially in any order. In some situations, cells are co-administered with another therapeutic treatment in sufficiently close time intervals so that the cell population enhances the effect of one or more additional therapeutic agents, or vice versa. In some embodiments, the cells are administered before the one or more additional therapeutic agents. In some embodiments, the cells are administered after the one or more additional therapeutic agents. In some embodiments, the one or more additional active agents include, for example, cytokines to enhance persistence, such as IL-2.
[0262] B. Administration In some embodiments, a certain dose of cells is administered to a subject according to a method provided and / or in a provided manufactured article or composition. In some embodiments, the size or timing of the dose is determined as a function of the specific disease or condition of the subject. In some cases, the size or timing of the dose for a specific disease in light of the provided description may be determined empirically.
[0263] In some embodiments, the cells in that dose are 2 × 10 5 Or approximately 2 × 105 pieces / kg~2×10 6 Or approximately 2 × 10 6 pieces / kg, for example 4 x 10 5 Or approximately 4 x 10 5 pieces...
