RESUMO

Introduction: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most prevalent malignancy in children; however, when the neoplasm becomes refractory/relapses (R/R) the cure possibilities are practically null. Objectives: To analyze the Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CAR) T-Cells immunotherapy efficacy in the treatment of R/R ALL, providing evidence about the efficacy and safety of the therapy for the analyzed group. Methods: The study consisted of a systematic review and meta-analysis based on the analysis of indexed articles. The searches were carried out with the terms: "acute lymphoblastic leukemia", "CAR T", and "CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor". Results: Only 18 of the 94 articles obtained initially met the inclusion criteria and were selected for review, totaling 637 patients. Thus, it was observed in the responses that approximately 81% of the patients achieved a Complete Response; 7% did not respond; the neoplasm relapsed in 17% of the cases; and 6.1% of the patients died. The main side effects found were Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), Severe Cytokine Release Syndrome, and Neurotoxicity, present in 36.3%, 29%, and 24% of patients, respectively. Conclusion: Anti-CD19 CAR T-Cells immunotherapy is an effective therapy, capable of producing high rates of complete remission in R/R ALL treatment. [au]

RESUMO

Resumen Una de las herramientas más novedosas en inmunoterapias adoptivas contra leucemias y tumores malignos es el uso del receptor de antígeno quimérico "CAR". El receptor CAR ha sido ampliamente utilizada en células T (células CAR-T) potenciando su eficacia en el reconocimiento y eliminación de tumores, obteniéndose a la fecha terapias basadas en esta tecnología. No obstante, las células CAR-T llegan a repercutir negativamente en la salud del paciente, presentando el síndrome neurológico de efecto inmune asociado a células (ICANS) y el síndrome de lanzamiento de citocinas (SLC). Como consecuencia, el paciente necesita ser hospitalizado durante la terapia. Además, el coste de manufactura y terapia es elevado, siendo una tecnología limitada a un sector muy bajo de la población. En este trabajo, mencionamos el empleo de una terapia emergente de células asesinas naturales (NK) con el receptor CAR (CAR-NK), que cuentan con muchas ventajas por encima de las células CAR-T. Las células CAR-NK conservan su capacidad citotóxica en contra de tumores gracias a su acción dependiente de receptores activadores e inhibidores, por lo que el receptor CAR, solo estimula sus habilidades y persistencia. Sumado a esto, el coste de una terapia de células CAR-NK podría resultar redituable debido a la capacidad de las células CAR-NK de eliminar múltiples células tumorales sin generar daño colateral en el paciente. Aquí analizamos las características de los múltiples receptores CAR y los fenotipos de células NK que han sido utilizados durante múltiples ensayos (NK-92, células NK de sangre cordal y periférica, y células NK iPSC).


Abstract One of the novel and effective devices against leukemia and solid tumors in adoptive immunotherapies is the use of the chimeric antigen receptor "CAR". CAR technology has been widely used in T-cells (CAR-T cells) empowering its efficacy on the identification and elimination of tumor cells, getting today certain drugs based on this technology. Nevertheless, CAR-T cells can have a negative impact on patient health, causing in many cases immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) and cytokine release syndrome (CRS). As a consequence, the patient will have to be hospitalized for the duration of therapy. Moreover, the cost of manufacture and therapy is quite expensive, limiting its use to a low range of people. On the other hand, we analyze the advantages of Natural Killer cells with the CAR receptor (CAR-NK), which have many plusses over CAR-T cells. CAR-NK cells retain their cytotoxic abilities against tumor cells due their activator/ inhibitor receptors balance. Thus, the CAR receptor technology just increases their skills and persistence. Furthermore, CAR-NK therapy could be more profitable since CAR-NK can eliminate multiple tumor cells without generating collateral damage on patient health. Here, we discuss the characteristics of the multiples CAR receptors in general and the NK types cells that have been used in trials demonstrating their viable emerging therapy (NK-92, cord and peripheral blood NK cells, and iPSC-derived NK cells).

RESUMO

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of chimeric antigen receptors T cells (CAR-T) in childhood acute B lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) to probe the prognosis-related factors. Methods: Forty-eight children, 29 boys and 19 girls, aged 3-17years old (median age was 8 years old) , with recurrent or refractory CD19 positive B-ALL, were treated by the CD19 specific CAR-T cells. A total of 48 cases received 61 infusions. Flow cytometry or real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction method were used to monitor micro residual disease (MRD) . The follow-up period was from 16 to 1 259 days with the median follow-up of 406 days. SPSS software was used to statistical analysis. Results: No adverse reaction was observed during 61 infusions. The most common adverse reaction after CAR-T cell infusions was cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) . Only 2 cases experienced level 3 CRS performance, including continuous high fever, convulsions, delirium, serous cavity effusion, and decreasing of blood pressure. Tocilizumab was given to release CRS performance. No treatment-related death occurred. Thirty-seven patients showed response during 7 to 28 days after infusions. The early response rate was 77.1%, with MRD before infusion less than 5% group higher than the MRD more than 5% group (87.1% vs 58.8%, χ2=4.968, P=0.036) . For the 37 patients who showed response to CAR-T cell infusions, univariate analysis identified that age, disease status at the time of treatment, MRD before infusion affected 2-year OS rate (P<0.05) . Multivariate prognostic analysis for EFS disclosed that the MRD before infusion more than 5% (RR=3.433, 95% CI 1.333-8.844, P=0.011) and not bridge to HSCT (RR=4.996, 95% CI 1.852-13.474, P=0.001) were the independent risk factors. Conclusion: The fourth generation CAR-T cells directed against CD19 could effectively and safely treat relapsed and refractory B-ALL, which implicated that CAR-T therapy as a novel therapeutic approach could be useful for patients with relapsed or refractory B-ALL who have failed all other treatment options. Reducing MRD as far as possible by effective pretreatment chemotherapy was in favor of increasing the response rate. Bridging HSCT after CAR-T cell treatment might be a better therapeutic strategy for the patient with refractory or molecular relapsed B-ALL.

RESUMO

La activación del sistema inmunológico en pacientes con cáncer ha sido un objetivo histórico en el campo de la oncología. En las últimas décadas, nuestro entendimiento de la respuesta inmunológica antitumoral ha promovido el desarrollo de novedosas estrategias terapéuticas dando como resultado un cambio de paradigma en el tratamiento del cáncer. La utilización de agentes bloqueantes de puntos de chequeo del sistema inmunológico como PD-1/PD-L1 y CTLA-4, de agonistas de moléculas co-estimuladoras como CD137 y OX-40 y la transferencia adoptiva de células T antitumorales modificadas genéticamente han generado importantes beneficios clínicos, reflejados en respuestas objetivas y durader as, en enfermos sin tratamientos convencionales disponibles. Sin embargo, un gran número de pacientes no responde a dichas terapias generando resistencia o sufriendo recaídas de la enfermedad debido a la aparición de circuitos inhibitorios o compensatorios. La combinación racional de estrategias terapéuticas permite eliminar mecanismos de resistencia, mientras que la identificación de biomarcadores predictivos facilita la selección de pacientes respondedores a dichos tratamientos. Recientes ensayos clínicos y estudios pre-clínicos permiten vislumbrar un escenario optimista con importantes desafíos en la implementación de estrategias de inmunoterapia en cáncer.


Recent under-standing of the mechanisms that control immune system homeostasis and orchestrate antitumor responses has prompted the development of novel immunotherapeutic modalities. These include antibodies that target immune checkpoints such as PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4, agonistic antibodies of costimulatory molecules such as CD137 and OX-40 and the adoptive transfer of genetically-modified antitumor T cells. However, a large number of patients do not respond to these therapies and develop resistance as a result of activation of compensatory circuits. Rational combination of immunotherapeutic modalities will help overcome resistance and will increase the number of patients who will benefit from these treatments. Moreover, identification of predictive biomarkers will allow selection of patients responding to these treatments. Emerging clinical trials and pre-clinical studies have shown exciting results anticipating new horizons in the design and implementation of cancer immunotherapeutic modalities.

RESUMO

As of May 1, 2017, 74 antibody-based molecules have been approved by a regulatory authority in a major market. Additionally, there are 70 and 575 antibody-based molecules in phase III and phase I/II clinical trials, respectively. These total 719 antibody-based clinical stage molecules include 493 naked IgGs, 87 antibody-drug conjugates, 61 bispecific antibodies, 37 total Fc fusion proteins, 17 radioimmunoglobulins, 13 antibody fragments, and 11 immunocytokines. New uses for these antibodies are being discovered each year. For oncology, many of the exciting new approaches involve antibody modulation of T-cells. There are over 80 antibodies in clinical trials targeting T cell checkpoints, 26 T-cell-redirected bispecific antibodies, and 145 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cell-based candidates (all currently in phase I or II clinical trials), totaling more than 250 T cell interacting clinical stage antibody-based candidates. Finally, significant progress has been made recently on routes of delivery, including delivery of proteins across the blood-brain barrier, oral delivery to the gut, delivery to the cellular cytosol, and gene- and viral-based delivery of antibodies. Thus, there are currently at least 864 antibody-based clinical stage molecules or cells, with incredible diversity in how they are constructed and what activities they impart. These are followed by a next wave of novel molecules, approaches, and new methods and routes of delivery, demonstrating that the field of antibody-based biologics is very innovative and diverse in its approaches to fulfill their promise to treat unmet medical needs.

RESUMO

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a promising cancer treatment that has recently been undergoing rapid development. However, there are still some major challenges, including precise tumor targeting to avoid off-target or "on-target/off-tumor" toxicity, adequate T cell infiltration and migration to solid tumors and T cell proliferation and persistence across the physical and biochemical barriers of solid tumors. In this review, we focus on the primary challenges and strategies to design safe and effective CAR T cells, including using novel cutting-edge technologies for CAR and vector designs to increase both the safety and efficacy, further T cell modification to overcome the tumor-associated immune suppression, and using gene editing technologies to generate universal CAR T cells. All these efforts promote the development and evolution of CAR T cell therapy and move toward our ultimate goal-curing cancer with high safety, high efficacy, and low cost.

RESUMO

Objective: To investigate the specific cytotoxicity of MUC1-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-engineered Jurkat T cells against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. Methods: The expression cassettes of both the first and the third generation MUC1-specific CAR gene (i.e. MUC1-CAR and G3MUC1-CAR) were constructed and cloned into lentivirus transfer plasmids, respectively. Then the obtained recombinant lentiviruses carrying the MUC1-specific CAR gene and hrGFP reporter genes were used to infect Jurkat T cells in vitro to establish MUC1-sepcific CAR-engineered Jurkat cells (i.e. CAR-T cells). Subsequently, the assays of CCK-8, ELISA, and LDH were used to detect the cell proliferation, IL-2 secretion and killing effect of the CAR-T cells, respectively. Results: We successfully constructed the expression cassettes of MUC1-sepcific CAR gene and the corresponding recombinant lentivirus, established the MUC1-specific CAR-engineered Jurkat T cells. Both types of MUC1-specific CARs-engineered Jurkat T cells could recognize MUC1 molecule and specifically kill MUC1 over-expressed HCC cells while left normal hepatic cells almost undamaged. In addition, the cell proliferation, the secretion of IL-2 and killing effect of the G3MUC1-CAR-engineered Jurkat T cells was significantly superior to the MUC1-CAR-engineered counterpart (P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion: The MUC1-sepcific CAR-engineered Jurkat T cells can specifically kill MUC1 over-expressed HCC cells.
