    Abstract Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) has emerged as a standard method for quantifying measurable residual disease (MRD) in acute myeloid leukemia. However, the limited number of available channels on conventional flow cytometers requires the division of a diagnostic sample into several tubes, restricting the number of cells and the complexity of immunophenotypes that can be analyzed. Full spectrum flow cytometers overcome this limitation by enabling the simultaneous use of up to 40 fluorescent markers. Here, we used this approach to develop a good laboratory practice-conform single-tube 19-color MRD detection assay that complies with recommendations of the European LeukemiaNet Flow-MRD Working Party. We based our assay on clinically-validated antibody clones and evaluated its performance on an IVD-certified full spectrum flow cytometer. We measured MRD and normal bone marrow samples and compared the MRD data to a widely used reference MRD-MFC panel generating highly concordant results. Using our newly developed single-tube panel, we established reference values in healthy bone marrow for 28 consensus leukemia-associated immunophenotypes and introduced a semi-automated dimensionality-reduction, clustering and cell type identification approach that aids the unbiased detection of aberrant cells. In summary, we provide a comprehensive full spectrum MRD-MFC workflow with the potential for rapid implementation for routine diagnostics due to reduced cell requirements and ease of data analysis with increased reproducibility in comparison to conventional FlowMRD routines.

    Abstract Treatment options for relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia patients (R/R AML) are limited. This retrospective cohort study compares safety and efficacy of fludarabine, cytarabine, and idarubicin (FLA-IDA) without or with venetoclax (FLAVIDA) in patients with R/R AML. Thirty-seven and 81 patients received one course FLA-IDA with or without a 7-day course of venetoclax, respectively. The overall response rate (ORR) was significantly higher in FLAVIDA compared to FLAIDA- treated patients (78% vs. 47%; P=0.001), while measurable residual disease was negative at a similar proportion in responding patients (50% vs. 57%), respectively. Eighty-one percent and 79% of patients proceeded to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation or donor lymphocyte infusion after FLAVIDA and FLA-IDA, respectively. Event-free and overall survival were similar in FLAVIDA- and FLA-IDA-treated patients. Refractory patients could be salvaged more successfully after FLA-IDA compared to FLAVIDA pretreatment. Neutrophil and platelet recovery times were similar in the venetoclax and the control group. In conclusion, short-term venetoclax in combination with FLA-IDA represents an effective treatment regimen in R/R AML identifying chemosensitive patients rapidly and inducing measurable residual disease-negative remission in a high proportion of R/R AML patients.

    Abstract Anti-cancer activity can be improved by engineering immune cells to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that recognize tumor-associated antigens. Retroviral vector gene transfer strategies allow stable and durable transgene expression. Here, we used alpharetroviral vectors to modify NK-92 cells, a natural killer cell line, with a third-generation CAR designed to target the IL-3 receptor subunit alpha (CD123), which is strongly expressed on the surface of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Alpharetroviral vectors also contained a transgene cassette to allow constitutive expression of human IL-15 for increased NK cell persistence in vivo. The anti-AML activity of CAR-NK-92 cells was tested via in vitro cytotoxicity assays with the CD123⁺ AML cell line KG-1a and in vivo in a patient-derived xenotransplantation CD123⁺ AML model. Unmodified NK-92 cells or NK-92 cells modified with a truncated version of the CAR that lacked the signaling domain served as controls. Alpharetroviral vector-modified NK-92 cells stably expressed the transgenes and secreted IL-15. Anti-CD123-CAR-NK-92 cells exhibited enhanced anti-AML activity in vitro and in vivo as compared to control NK-92 cells. Our data (1) shows the importance of IL-15 expression for in vivo persistence of NK-92 cells, (2) supports continued investigation of anti-CD123-CAR-NK cells to target AML, and (3) points towards potential strategies to further improve CAR-NK anti-AML activity.

    Abstract Background: Macrophages have recently become attractive therapeutics in cancer immunotherapy. The potential of macrophages to infiltrate and influence solid malignancies makes them promising targets for the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) technology to redirect their stage of polarization, thus enhancing their anticancer capacities. Given the emerging interest for CAR-macrophages, generation of such cells so far mainly depends on peripheral blood monocytes, which are isolated from the respective donor prior to genetic manipulation. This procedure is time-intensive and cost-intensive, while, in some cases, insufficient monocyte amounts can be recovered from the donor, thus hampering the broad applicability of this technology. Hence, we demonstrate the generation and effectiveness of CAR-macrophages from various stem cell sources using also modern upscaling technologies for next generation immune cell farming.
    Methods: Primary human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells and induced pluripotent stem cells were used to derive anti-CD19 CAR-macrophages. Anticancer activity of the cells was demonstrated in co-culture systems, including primary material from patients with leukemia. Generation of CAR-macrophages was facilitated by bioreactor technologies and single-cell RNA (scRNA) sequencing was used to characterize in-depth response and behavior of CAR-macrophages.
    Results: Irrespective of the stem-cell source, CAR-macrophages exhibited enhanced and antigen-dependent phagocytosis of CD19
    Conclusion: In summary, our work provides insights into the seminal use and behavior of CAR-macrophages which are derived from various sources of stem cells, while introducing a unique technology for CAR-macrophage manufacturing, all dedicated to the clinical translation of CAR-macrophages within the field of anticancer immunotherapies.

    Abstract Intratumoral application of oncolytic viruses effectively induce tumor-directed immune responses. However, their systemic application is typically insufficient to stimulate the required extent of tumor tissue inflammation to elicit antitumor immunity. We recently discovered evidence that this barrier can be overcome by effective molecular retargeting of viral infection.

    Abstract Recent evidence revealed important interactions between clonal hematopoiesis (CH) and cellular therapies established for the treatment of hematologic malignancies. The impact of CH on safety, efficacy, and outcome of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is currently under investigation. We analyzed 110 patients with relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 105) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (n = 5), treated with Axicabtagene-Ciloleucel (39%), Tisagenlecleucel (51%), or Brexucabtagene autoleucel (10%). Using error-corrected targeted sequencing, a high CH prevalence of 56.4% (variant allele frequency [VAF] ≥1%) at the time of CAR T-cell infusion was detected. The most frequently mutated gene was

    Abstract Virus-neutralizing antibodies are a severe obstacle in oncolytic virotherapy. Here, we present a strategy to convert this unfavorable immune response into an anticancer immunotherapy via molecular retargeting. Application of a bifunctional adapter harboring a tumor-specific ligand and the adenovirus hexon domain DE1 for engaging antiadenoviral antibodies, attenuates tumor growth and prolongs survival in adenovirus-immunized mice. The therapeutic benefit achieved by tumor retargeting of antiviral antibodies is largely due to NK cell-mediated triggering of tumor-directed CD8 T-cells. We further demonstrate that antibody-retargeting (Ab-retargeting) is a feasible method to sensitize tumors to PD-1 immune checkpoint blockade. In therapeutic settings, Ab-retargeting greatly improves the outcome of intratumor application of an oncolytic adenovirus and facilitates long-term survival in treated animals when combined with PD-1 checkpoint inhibition. Tumor-directed retargeting of preexisting or virotherapy-induced antiviral antibodies therefore represents a promising strategy to fully exploit the immunotherapeutic potential of oncolytic virotherapy and checkpoint inhibition.
