    Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells are an effective treatment for some blood cancers. However, the lack of tumor-specific surface antigens limits their wider use. We identified a set of surface antigens that are limited in their expression to cancer and the central nervous system (CNS). We developed CAR T cells against one of these antigens, LINGO1, which is widely expressed in Ewing sarcoma (ES). To prevent CNS targeting, we engineered LINGO1 CAR T cells lacking integrin α

    Abstract Background aims: Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell (CAR-T) therapies have revolutionized the treatment of B-cell lymphomas. Unfortunately, relapses after CD19-targeted CAR-T are relatively common and, therefore, there is a critical need for assays able to assess the function and potency of CAR-T products pre-infusion, which will hopefully help to optimize CAR-T therapies. We developed a novel multicolor fluorescent spot assay (MFSA) for the functional assessment of CAR-T products on a single-cell level, combining the numerical assessment of CAR-T products with their functional characterization.
    Methods: We first used a standard single-cell interferon (IFN)-γ enzyme-linked immune absorbent spot assay to measure CD19-targeted CAR-T responses to CD19-coated beads. We then developed, optimized and validated an MFSA that simultaneously measures the secretion of combinations of different cytokines on a single CAR-T level.
    Results: We identified IFN-γ/tumor necrosis factor-α/granzyme B as the most relevant cytokine combination, and we used our novel MFSA to functionally and numerically characterize two clinical-grade CAR-T products.
    Conclusions: In conclusion, we have developed a novel assay for the quantitative and functional potency assessment of CAR-T products. Our optimized MFSA is cost-effective, easy to perform, reliable, can be performed overnight, allowing for a fast delivery of the product to the patient, and requires relatively minimal maintenance and training. The clinical value of our novel assay will be assessed in studies correlating the pre-infusion assessment of CAR-T products with the patients' outcome in a prospective fashion.

    Abstract Background: Aggressive B cell lymphoma with secondary central nervous system (CNS) involvement (SCNSL) carries a dismal prognosis. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells (CAR-T) targeting CD19 have revolutionized the treatment for B cell lymphomas; however, only single cases with CNS manifestations successfully treated with CD19 CAR-T have been reported.
    Methods: We prospectively enrolled 4 patients with SCNSL into our study to assess clinical responses and monitor T cell immunity.
    Results: Two of four SNCSL patients responded to the CD19-targeted CAR-T. Only one patient showed a substantial expansion of peripheral (PB) CAR-T cells with an almost 100-fold increase within the first week after CAR-T. The same patient also showed marked neurotoxicity and progression of the SNCSL despite continuous surface expression of CD19 on the lymphoma cells and an accumulation of CD4
    Conclusions: Our results demonstrate expansion and homing of CAR-T cells into the CNS in SNCSL patients. Local production of chemokines such as IP-10 may support CNS infiltration by CAR-T cells but also carry the potential of amplifying local toxicity. Future studies investigating numbers, phenotype, and function of CAR-T in the different body compartments of SNSCL patients receiving CAR-T will help to improve local delivery of "fit" and highly tumor-reactive CAR-T with low off-target reactivity into the CNS.

    Abstract T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) have shown remarkable therapeutic activity against different types of cancer. However, the wider use of CAR T cells has been hindered by the potential for life-threatening toxicities due to on-target off-tumor killing of cells expressing low amounts of the target antigen. CD229, a signaling lymphocyte-activation molecule (SLAM) family member, has previously been identified as a target for CAR T cell-mediated treatment of multiple myeloma (MM) due to its high expression on the surfaces of MM cells. CD229 CAR T cells have shown effective clearance of MM cells in vitro and in vivo. However, healthy lymphocytes also express CD229, albeit at lower amounts than MM cells, causing their unintended targeting by CD229 CAR T cells. To increase the selectivity of CD229 CAR T cells for MM cells, we used a single amino acid substitution approach of the CAR binding domain to reduce CAR affinity. To identify CARs with increased selectivity, we screened variant binding domains using solid-phase binding assays and biolayer interferometry and determined the cytotoxic activity of variant CAR T cells against MM cells and healthy lymphocytes. We identified a CD229 CAR binding domain with micromolar affinity that, when combined with overexpression of c-Jun, confers antitumor activity comparable to parental CD229 CAR T cells but lacks the parental cells' cytotoxic activity toward healthy lymphocytes in vitro and in vivo. The results represent a promising strategy to improve the efficacy and safety of CAR T cell therapy that requires clinical validation.

    Abstract Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a potentially fatal complication following kidney transplantation, and there is a critical and unmet need for PTLD treatments associated with more pronounced and durable responses. To date, reports on the use of CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T (CAR-T) cells in patients after solid organ transplant (SOT) have been anecdotal, clinical presentations and outcomes have been heterogenous, and a longitudinal analysis of CAR-T cell expansion and persistence in PTLD patients has not been reported. Our report describes a patient with a history of renal transplant who received CD19-directed CAR-T cell therapy for the treatment of refractory PTLD, diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-type. We show that even with the background of prolonged immunosuppression for SOT, it is possible to generate autologous CAR-T products capable of expansion and persistence in vivo, without evidence of excess T-cell exhaustion. Our data indicate that CAR-T cells generated from a SOT recipient with PTLD can yield deep remissions without increased toxicity or renal allograft dysfunction. Future clinical studies should build on these findings to investigate CAR-T therapy, including longitudinal monitoring of CAR-T phenotype and function, for PTLD in SOT recipients.
