Mashup Score: 2A Novel Autologous CAR-T Therapy, YTB323, with Preserved T-cell Stemness Shows Enhanced CAR T-cell Efficacy in Preclinical and Early Clinical Development - 8 month(s) ago
YTB323, a CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, retains T-cell stemness after a manufacturing process time of less than 2 days and demonstrates clinical antitumor activity at significantly lower doses than traditionally manufactured CAR T cells.

Mashup Score: 1Bursting Tumor Bubbles to Improve CAR T-cell Therapy - 8 month(s) ago
Abstract. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells have had dramatic success in B-cell malignancies, but this efficacy has not yet translated to more common solid tumors. In this issue of Cancer Research, Zhong and colleagues demonstrated that tumor-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEV) contain CAR target antigens like mesothelin, enabling them to preferentially interact with and suppress the activity of CAR T cells in vivo. PD-L1 in tumor-derived sEVs increased upon CAR T-cell infusion and induced PD-L1–dependent suppression of CAR T cells that could be completely reversed by PD-L1 blockade. Strategies to inhibit sEV secretion, via genetic manipulation of tumor cells or pharmacologic inhibition, significantly improved CAR T-cell accumulation, function, and antitumor activity in vivo, suggesting that therapeutic targeting of sEV secretion could be a promising new approach to improving the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapy.See related article by Zhong et al., p. 2790

Mashup Score: 1Lisocabtagene maraleucel for second-line relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma: patient-reported outcomes from the PILOT study - 8 month(s) ago
In the single-arm, open-label, multicenter, phase 2 PILOT study, second-line treatment with the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy lisocabtagene maraleucel (liso-cel) in patients with relapsed or refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) for whom hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was not intended resulted in high response rates, durable responses, and a safety profile consistent with previous reports. Here, we analyzed changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients who received liso-cel in PILOT. Patients received liso-cel, an autologous, CD19-directed, 4-1BB CAR T-cell product administered at equal target doses of CD8+ and CD4+ CAR+ T cells, for a total target dose of 100 × 10⁶ CAR+ T cells. HRQOL, a secondary endpoint of PILOT, was assessed as prespecified using 3 patient-reported outcome instruments (EORTC QLQ-C30; FACT-LymS; EQ-5D-5L). Evaluable datasets for the EORTC QLQ-C30, FACT-LymS, EQ-5D-5L health utility index, and EQ-5D visual ana

Mashup Score: 3
multicenter retrospective observational study, we studied the patient-individual journey from CAR-T indication to infusion, baseline features, and survival outcomes in 374 patients treated with tisagenlecleucel (tisa-cel) or axicabtagene-ciloleucel (axi-cel) in EU and the United States (US). Compared with US patients, EU patients had prolonged indication-to-infusion intervals (66 versus 50 d; P < 0.001) and more commonly received intermediary therapies (holding and/or bridging therapy, 94% in EU versus 74% in US; P < 0.001). Baseline lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (median 321 versus 271 U/L; P = 0.02) and ferritin levels (675 versus 425 ng/mL; P = 0.004) were significantly elevated in the EU cohort. Overall, we observed inferior survival in EU patients (median progression-free survival [PFS] 3.1 versus 9.2 months in US; P < 0.001) and with tisa-cel (3.2 versus 9.2 months with axi-cel; P < 0.001). On multivariate Lasso modeling, nonresponse to bridging, elevated ferritin, and increased C-r

Mashup Score: 0Prognostic value of early bone marrow and PET MRD assessment in CAR-T therapy for multiple myeloma - 8 month(s) ago
Yi Lin, MD, PhD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, discusses the prognostic value of early bone marrow measurable residual disease (MRD) assessment following CAR-T therapy in multiple myeloma. A recent study found that patients who achieve MRD negativity and free light chain clearance one month after CAR-T have better outcomes. Conversely, MRD positivity and residual free light chain levels after one month indicate a higher risk of relapse and a lower rate of durable response. A follow-up study demonstrated that negative results in both early bone marrow and PET MRD assessments serve as the strongest prognostic indicator for CAR-T therapy outcomes.

Mashup Score: 0Identifying and managing patients at high risk of developing toxicities following CAR-T therapy - 8 month(s) ago
Kai Rejeski, MD, LMU Munich, Munich, Germany, provides insights into the management of toxicities associated with CAR-T therapy including hematological toxicities, cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS). Dr Rejeski emphasizes the need to develop personalized approaches based on a patient’s risk to develop such toxicities, explaining the benefit of using escalated supportive measures and prophylaxis in patients with a high risk of developing CAR-T-associated toxicity. He also explains that patients who experience hematological toxicities should receive a hematopoietic stem cell boost as early as possible if available. This interview took place at the 28th Congress of the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany.
