Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) cell therapy has achieved groundbreaking success in treating hematological malignancies. However, its application to solid tumors remains challenging due to complex manufacturing processes, limited in vivo persistence, and transient therapeutic effects. In vivo CAR-immune cells induced by gene delivery systems loaded with CAR genes and gene-editing tools have shown efficiency for anti-tumor immunotherapy. In situ programming of autologous immune cells avoids the safety concerns of allogeneic immune cells, and the manufacture of gene delivery systems could be standardized. Therefore, the in vivo editing and in situ generation of CAR-immune cells might potentially overcome the abovementioned limitations of current CAR cell therapy. This review mainly focuses on CAR structures, gene-editing tools, and gene delivery techniques applied in anti-tumor immunotherapy to help design and develop in situ CAR-immune cell therapy. The recent applications of in vivo CAR-immune cell therapy in both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors are investigated. To sum up, the in vivo editing and in situ generation of CAR therapy holds promise for offering a practical, cost-effective, efficient, safe, and widely applicable approach to the next-generation anti-tumor immunotherapy.
嵌合抗原受体(CAR)细胞疗法在治疗血液恶性肿瘤方面取得了突破性的成功。然而,由于制造工艺复杂、体内持久性有限以及治疗效果短暂,将其应用于实体瘤仍具有挑战性。通过装载 CAR 基因的基因递送系统和基因编辑工具诱导的体内 CAR 免疫细胞已显示出抗肿瘤免疫疗法的高效性。自体免疫细胞的原位编程避免了异体免疫细胞的安全性问题,基因递送系统的制造也可以标准化。因此,体内编辑和原位生成 CAR 免疫细胞有可能克服目前 CAR 细胞疗法的上述局限性。本综述主要关注抗肿瘤免疫疗法中应用的CAR结构、基因编辑工具和基因递送技术,以帮助设计和开发原位CAR免疫细胞疗法。此外,还探讨了体内 CAR 免疫细胞疗法在血液恶性肿瘤和实体瘤中的最新应用。总之,体内编辑和原位生成 CAR 疗法有望为下一代抗肿瘤免疫疗法提供一种实用、经济、高效、安全和广泛适用的方法。

Though several anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies approved for monotherapy in microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair-deficient unresectable/metastatic solid tumors, novel immunotherapy with better anti-tumor activity is needed in clinic. In this single-arm, multicenter, pivotal, phase II study, patients received iparomlimab (a novel humanized anti-PD-1 mAb, 200 mg or 3 mg/kg for patients with body weight < 40 kg, IV, Q3W) until disease progression, intolerable toxicities, withdrawal of consent, death, or up to 2 years. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by independent radiological review committee (IRRC). Totally, 120 patients were enrolled, of whom 60 patients failed from prior standard therapy, were enrolled in the full analysis set (FAS). As of Jan 20, 2024, the confirmed ORR per IRRC in FAS were 50.0% (30/60; 95% CI 36.8–63.2%) patients, including 4 (6.7%) complete response (CR) and 26 (43.3%) partial response (PR). In colorectal cancer (CRC) patients in FAS, the ORR reached 57.9% (22/38; 95% CI 40.8–73.7%) per IRRC, with 3 (7.9%) CR and 19 (50.0%) PR. Furtherly, the ORRs in liver metastatic or non-liver metastatic CRC patients were 52.9% (9/17, 95% CI 27.8–77.0%) vs 61.9% (13/21, 95% CI 38.4%–81.9%). The incidence of TRAE was 90.8% (any grade) and 20.8% (grade ≥ 3). Immune-related adverse events occurred in 33.3% (any grade) and 5.0% (grade ≥ 3) of patients. No iparomlimab-related death occurred. Iparomlimab presented encouraging antitumor activity with durable response and tolerable safety profile. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04326829.
尽管有几种抗PD-1/PD-L1抗体被批准用于微卫星不稳定性高或错配修复缺陷的不可切除/转移性实体瘤的单药治疗,但临床上仍需要具有更好抗肿瘤活性的新型免疫疗法。在这项单臂、多中心、关键性II期研究中,患者接受iparomlimab(一种新型人源化抗PD-1 mAb,200毫克或3毫克/千克,适用于体重小于40千克的患者,静脉注射,Q3W)治疗,直至疾病进展、出现不可耐受的毒性反应、撤销同意、死亡或最长2年。主要终点是由独立放射学审查委员会(IRRC)评估的客观反应率(ORR)。共有120名患者入组,其中60名患者因之前的标准疗法失败而被纳入完整分析集(FAS)。截至2024年1月20日,根据IRRC在FAS中的确认ORR为50.0%(30/60;95% CI 36.8-63.2%),其中包括4例(6.7%)完全应答(CR)和26例(43.3%)部分应答(PR)患者。在 FAS 的结直肠癌(CRC)患者中,每例 IRRC 的 ORR 达到 57.9%(22/38;95% CI 40.8-73.7%),其中有 3 例(7.9%)CR 和 19 例(50.0%)PR。此外,肝转移或非肝转移 CRC 患者的 ORR 分别为 52.9% (9/17, 95% CI 27.8-77.0%) vs 61.9% (13/21, 95% CI 38.4%-81.9%) 。TRAE发生率为90.8%(任何等级)和20.8%(等级≥3)。33.3%的患者发生了免疫相关不良事件(任何级别),5.0%的患者发生了免疫相关不良事件(≥3级)。没有发生与伊帕单抗相关的死亡事件。伊帕利单抗具有令人鼓舞的抗肿瘤活性、持久应答和可耐受的安全性。试验注册 ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT04326829。

Variants in the RAS family (HRAS, NRAS and KRAS) are among the most common mutations found in cancer. About 19% patients with cancer harbor RAS mutations, which are typically associated with poor clinical outcomes. Over the past four decades, KRAS has long been considered an undruggable target due to the absence of suitable small-molecule binding sites within its mutant isoforms. However, recent advancements in drug design have made RAS-targeting therapies viable, particularly with the approval of direct KRASG12C inhibitors, such as sotorasib and adagrasib, for treating non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with KRASG12C mutations. Other KRAS-mutant inhibitors targeting KRASG12D are currently being developed for use in the clinic, particularly for treating highly refractory malignancies like pancreatic cancer. Herein, we provide an overview of RAS signaling, further detailing the roles of the RAS signaling pathway in carcinogenesis. This includes a summary of RAS mutations in human cancers and an emphasis on therapeutic approaches, as well as de novo, acquired, and adaptive resistance in various malignancies.

The long-term effectiveness of immunotherapies against Multiple Myeloma (MM) remains elusive, demonstrated by the inevitable relapse in patients. This underscores the urgent need for an in-depth analysis of the MM tumor-immune microenvironment (TME). Hereto, a representative immunocompetent MM mouse model can offer a valuable approach to study the dynamic changes within the MM-TME and to uncover potential resistance mechanisms hampering effective and durable therapeutic strategies in MM. We generated a comprehensive single-cell RNA-sequencing atlas of the MM-TME in bone marrow and spleen encompassing different stages of disease, using the immunocompetent 5T33MM mouse model. Through comparative analysis, we correlated our murine dataset with the pathogenesis in MM patients by reanalyzing publicly available datasets of human bone marrow samples across various disease stages. Using flow cytometry, we validated the dynamic changes upon disease progression in the 5T33MM model. Furthermore, interesting target populations, as well as the immune-boosting anti-CD40 agonist (αCD40) therapy were tested ex vivo on murine and human primary samples and in vivo using the 5T33MM model. In this study, we identified the heterogenous and dynamic changes within the TME of murine and human MM. We found that the MM-TME was characterized by an increase in T cells, accompanied with an exhausted phenotype. Although neutrophils appeared to be rather innocuous at early disease stages, they acquired a pro-tumorigenic phenotype during MM progression. Moreover, conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) showed a less activated phenotype in MM, underscoring the potential of immune-boosting therapies such as αCD40 therapy. Importantly, we provided the first pre-clinical evaluation of αCD40 therapy and demonstrated successful induction of cDC- and T-cell activation, accompanied by a significant short-term anti-tumor response. This resource provides a comprehensive and detailed immune atlas of the evolution in human and murine MM disease progression. Our findings can contribute to immune-based patient stratification and facilitate the development of novel and durable (immune) therapeutic strategies in MM.
免疫疗法对多发性骨髓瘤(MM)的长期疗效仍然难以捉摸,患者不可避免的复发就证明了这一点。这凸显了深入分析多发性骨髓瘤肿瘤免疫微环境(TME)的迫切需要。因此,一种具有代表性的免疫功能健全的 MM 小鼠模型可以提供一种宝贵的方法来研究 MM-TME 的动态变化,并揭示阻碍 MM 有效和持久治疗策略的潜在耐药机制。我们利用免疫功能健全的5T33MM小鼠模型,生成了骨髓和脾脏中MM-TME的全面单细胞RNA测序图谱,涵盖了疾病的不同阶段。通过比较分析,我们重新分析了不同疾病阶段的公开人类骨髓样本数据集,从而将小鼠数据集与 MM 患者的发病机制联系起来。通过流式细胞术,我们验证了 5T33MM 模型中疾病进展时的动态变化。此外,我们还在小鼠和人类原始样本上对有趣的目标人群以及免疫增强抗 CD40 激动剂(αCD40)疗法进行了体内外测试,并使用 5T33MM 模型进行了体内测试。在这项研究中,我们确定了小鼠和人类 MM TME 内的异质性动态变化。我们发现,MM-TME 的特点是 T 细胞增加,并伴有衰竭表型。虽然中性粒细胞在疾病早期似乎是无害的,但它们在MM发展过程中获得了促肿瘤表型。此外,传统树突状细胞(cDCs)在 MM 中的活化表型较少,这凸显了αCD40疗法等免疫增强疗法的潜力。重要的是,我们首次对αCD40疗法进行了临床前评估,成功诱导了cDC和T细胞活化,并伴有显著的短期抗肿瘤反应。这一资源为人类和小鼠 MM 疾病进展过程中的演变提供了全面而详细的免疫图谱。我们的发现有助于对患者进行基于免疫的分层,并促进新型、持久的 MM(免疫)治疗策略的开发。

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rapidly progressing, life-threatening syndrome characterized by excessive immune activation, often presenting as a complex cytokine storm. This hyperactive immune response can lead to multi-organ failure and systemic damage, resulting in an extremely short survival period if left untreated. Over the past decades, although HLH has garnered increasing attention from researchers, there have been few advancements in its treatment. The cytokine storm plays a crucial role in the treatment of HLH. Investigating the detailed mechanisms behind cytokine storms offers insights into targeted therapeutic approaches, potentially aiding in early intervention and improving the clinical outcome of HLH patients. To date, there is only one targeted therapy, emapalumab targeting interferon-γ, that has gained approval for primary HLH. This review aims to summarize the current treatment advances, emerging targeted therapeutics and underlying mechanisms of HLH, highlighting its newly discovered targets potentially involved in cytokine storms, which are expected to drive the development of novel treatments and offer fresh perspectives for future studies. Besides, multi-targeted combination therapy may be essential for disease control, but further trials are required to determine the optimal treatment mode for HLH.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy demonstrates substantial efficacy in various hematological malignancies. However, its application in solid tumors is still limited. Clinical studies report suboptimal outcomes such as reduced cytotoxicity of CAR-T cells and tumor evasion, underscoring the need to address the challenges of sliding cytotoxicity in CAR-T cells. Despite improvements from fourth and next-generation CAR-T cells, new challenges include systemic toxicity from continuously secreted proteins, low productivity, and elevated costs. Recent research targets genetic modifications to boost killing potential, metabolic interventions to hinder tumor progression, and diverse combination strategies to enhance CAR-T cell therapy. Efforts to reduce the duration and cost of CAR-T cell therapy include developing allogenic and in-vivo approaches, promising significant future advancements. Concurrently, innovative technologies and platforms enhance the potential of CAR-T cell therapy to overcome limitations in treating solid tumors. This review explores strategies to optimize CAR-T cell therapies for solid tumors, focusing on enhancing cytotoxicity and overcoming application restrictions. We summarize recent advances in T cell subset selection, CAR-T structural modifications, infiltration enhancement, genetic and metabolic interventions, production optimization, and the integration of novel technologies, presenting therapeutic approaches that could improve CAR-T cell therapy’s efficacy and applicability in solid tumors.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants in patients with myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) are shown to be prognostic of outcomes after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT). However, the prognostic impact of donor mtDNA variants is unknown. Here, we performed whole-genome sequencing on 494 donors who were matched to MDS patients enrolled in the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR). We evaluated the impact of donor mtDNA variants on recipients’ transplantation outcomes, including overall survival, relapse, relapse-free survival, and transplant-related mortality. The optimism-adjusted bootstrap method was employed to evaluate the prognostic performance of models that include donor mtDNA variants alone and combined with MDS- and HCT-related clinical factors. In the entire donor cohort, we identified 1,825 mtDNA variants, including 67 potential pathogenic variants. Genetic variants on MT-CYB and MT-ND5 genes were identified as independent predictors of posttransplant outcomes. Integration of donor mtDNA variants into the models based on the International Prognostic Scoring System-Revised (IPSS-R) could capture more prognostic information for MDS patients. Sensitivity analysis in 397 unrelated donors obtained similar results. More importantly, we found that incorporating donor mtDNA variants with donor age and the degree of HLA-matching could help to identify “suboptimal” younger HLA-well-matched unrelated donors and “optimal” older HLA-partially/mismatched unrelated donors. Our study shows that mtDNA variants in donors, including those from unrelated donors, hold prognostic value for MDS patients undergoing allo-HCT and augment the prognostic stratification of current scoring systems. These findings present an opportunity to refine donor selection strategies and improve posttransplant outcomes for MDS patients.

However, the prognostic impact of donor mtDNA variants is unknown. Here, we performed whole-genome sequencing on 494 donors who were matched to MDS patients enrolled in the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR). We evaluated the impact of donor mtDNA variants on recipients’ transplantation outcomes, including overall survival, relapse, relapse-free survival, and transplant-related mortality. The optimism-adjusted bootstrap method was employed to evaluate the prognostic performance of models that include donor mtDNA variants alone and combined with MDS- and HCT-related clinical factors. In the entire donor cohort, we identified 1,825 mtDNA variants, including 67 potential pathogenic variants. Genetic variants on MT-CYB and MT-ND5 genes were identified as independent predictors of posttransplant outcomes. Integration of donor mtDNA variants into the models based on the International Prognostic Scoring System-Revised (IPSS-R) could capture more prognostic information for MDS patients. Sensitivity analysis in 397 unrelated donors obtained similar results. More importantly, we found that incorporating donor mtDNA variants with donor age and the degree of HLA-matching could help to identify “suboptimal” younger HLA-well-matched unrelated donors and “optimal” older HLA-partially/mismatched unrelated donors. Our study shows that mtDNA variants in donors, including those from unrelated donors, hold prognostic value for MDS patients undergoing allo-HCT and augment the prognostic stratification of current scoring systems. These findings present an opportunity to refine donor selection strategies and improve posttransplant outcomes for MDS patients.","PeriodicalId":16023,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Hematology & Oncology","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":28.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142574374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy has significantly advanced in treating B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and has shown efficacy in managing relapsed B-ALL after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Donor-derived CAR-T cell offer both high efficacy and rapid response. Although promising results exist, current research lacks definitive evidence of long-term survival benefits for patients treated with donor-derived CAR-T therapy. We report the long-term survival of 32 patients with post-transplant relapsed B-ALL treated with donor-derived CD19 CAR-T cell, achieving either complete Remission (CR) or CR with incomplete peripheral blood recovery (CRi). The median follow-up was 42 months, with 2-year overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) rates of 56.25% and 50.0%, respectively. The 5-year OS and EFS rates were 53.13% and 46.88%, with no new long-term adverse events observed. These findings demonstrate good long-term safety, supporting donor-derived CAR-T cell as a recommended treatment option for relapsed B-ALL patients post-transplantation.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy fails to achieve durable responses in over 60% of relapsed/refractory (R/R) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) patients in the third or later line setting. After CAR-T failure, survival outcomes are heterogeneous and a prognostic model in this patient population is lacking. A training cohort of 216 patients with progressive disease (PD) after CAR-T from 12 Spanish centers was used to develop the Post-CAR Prognostic Index (PC-PI); primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) from CAR-T progression. Validation was performed in an external cohort from three different European centers (n = 204). The prognostic score incorporated five variables, assessed at time of PD to CAR-T: ECOG (> 0), hemoglobin (< 10 g/dL), LDH (≥ 2xULN), number of extranodal sites (> 1) and time from CAR-T to PD (< 4 months). Patients were classified in four risk groups with distinct OS (p-value < 0.05 in all comparisons). In the validation cohort, median OS in the low (31%), intermediate-low (26%), intermediate-high (17%) and high risk (26%) were 15.7, 7.1, 1.8 and 1.0 months, respectively (p < 0.05 in all comparisons). Results were consistent following adjustment for subsequent treatment. In the external cohort, the PC-PI showed a C-statistic of 0.79 (95%CI 0.76-0.82), outperforming IPI and R-IPI. In conclusion, the PC-PI score is a novel tool for OS prediction and could facilitate risk-adapted management of LBCL patients relapsing after CAR T-cells. Additionally, these results will help stratification and interpretation of trials and real-world data incorporating CART-exposed patients.

Early T-cell precursor lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (ETP-ALL/LBL) is a distinct subtype of T-ALL/LBL, characterized by a poor response to initial chemotherapy, a high relapse rate, and an inferior outcome. The treatment options for ETP-ALL/LBL are currently limited, and there are no reported clinical trials available for ETP-ALL/LBL. From June 2018 to June 2022, we conducted a single-arm, single-center, phase 2 trial (NCT03553238) in newly diagnosed ETP-ALL/LBL (age 14–55). Patients (N = 54) received pediatric-inspired chemotherapy plus tucidinostat, which was orally administered once daily at a dosage of 10 mg from induction to consolidation therapy. The primary endpoint was 3 year event-free survival (EFS). Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), relapse-free survival (RFS), complete remission rate and adverse events. The composite complete remission (CRc, complete response [CR] plus complete response with incomplete blood count recovery [CRi]) rate and MRD negativity after induction therapy was 91% (49 of 54 patients) and 65% (35 of 54 patients), respectively. The MRD negativity after consolidation was achieved in 87% patients (47 of 54 patients). With a median follow-up of 39.3 months (IQR, 20.6 to 60.0), the 3 year EFS rate was 67.7% (95% CI 56.2–81.7), the 3 year OS rate was 71.5% (95% CI 60.2–84.9) and the 3 year RFS rate was 67.5% (95% CI 55.9–81.6). The most common grade 3–4 adverse events were neutropenia (94%), anemia (85%), thrombocytopenia (76%), and infection (53%). Tucidinostat plus pediatric regimen is an effective and well-tolerated regimen for new diagnosed ETP-ALL/LBL, with high CRc and MRD negativity rates, as well as encouraging survival outcomes.
早期T细胞前体淋巴细胞白血病/淋巴瘤(ETP-ALL/LBL)是T-ALL/LBL的一个独特亚型,其特点是对初始化疗反应差、复发率高、预后差。目前,ETP-ALL/LBL的治疗方案有限,也没有针对ETP-ALL/LBL的临床试验报道。2018年6月至2022年6月,我们在新诊断的ETP-ALL/LBL(14-55岁)患者中开展了一项单臂、单中心、2期试验(NCT03553238)。患者(N = 54)接受儿科启发化疗加图西诺司他治疗,从诱导治疗到巩固治疗,每天口服一次,剂量为10毫克。主要终点是3年无事件生存期(EFS)。次要终点为总生存期(OS)、无复发生存期(RFS)、完全缓解率和不良反应。诱导治疗后的复合完全缓解率(CRc、完全缓解[CR]加完全缓解且血细胞计数未完全恢复[CRi])和MRD阴性率分别为91%(54例患者中有49例)和65%(54例患者中有35例)。87%的患者(54 人中有 47 人)在巩固治疗后达到 MRD 阴性。中位随访时间为39.3个月(IQR,20.6-60.0),3年EFS率为67.7%(95% CI 56.2-81.7),3年OS率为71.5%(95% CI 60.2-84.9),3年RFS率为67.5%(95% CI 55.9-81.6)。最常见的3-4级不良反应是中性粒细胞减少(94%)、贫血(85%)、血小板减少(76%)和感染(53%)。对于新诊断的ETP-ALL/LBL,图西诺他联合儿科方案是一种有效且耐受性良好的方案,具有较高的CRc和MRD阴性率,以及令人鼓舞的生存结果。
