New CAR T-Cell Therapy for Solid Tumors Was Safe and Showed Early Efficacy – The ASCO Post

Posted: April 19, 2022 at 1:50 am

By The ASCO Post StaffPosted: 4/13/2022 12:05:00 PM Last Updated: 4/13/2022 1:12:21 PM

A new chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell product had an acceptable safety profile and showed early signs of efficacy as a monotherapy and in combination with an mRNA vaccine in patients with solid tumors, according to preliminary data from a phase I/II clinical trial presented by Haanen et al during the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2022 (Abstract CT002).

CAR T-cell therapy has revolutionized the treatment options for hematologic malignancies, but its application in solid tumors has been challenging. One of the main limitations is that most of the proteins present on solid tumors that could be used as targets are also found at low levels on normal cells, making it difficult to specifically direct the CAR T cells against tumor cells and spare healthy ones, said lead author John Haanen, MD, PhD, a medical oncologist at the Netherlands Cancer Institute (NKI), Amsterdam. Other challenges include the limited persistence of CAR T cells observed in solid tumors and their difficulty reaching the tumors and penetrating the center of the mass.

Dr. Haanen and colleagues are conducting a first-in-human open label, multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of a previously developed CAR T-cell product that targets CLDN6, a tumor-specific antigen widely expressed in various solid tumors but silenced in healthy adult tissues. This therapy was tested in preclinical models in combination with a CLDN6-encoding mRNA vaccine (CARVac) that favors the expansion of the CAR T cells. As Dr. Haanen explained, this combined treatment, called BNT211, resulted in expansion of the transferred CAR T cells and higher persistence in the blood, which in turn improved tumor cell killing.

Methodology and Findings

The investigators recruited patients with relapsed or refractory advanced, CLDN6-positive solid tumors to test the CLDN6 CAR T-cell therapy alone and in combination with CARVac.

The trial included two parts in which increasing doses of CLDN6 CAR T cells were given as monotherapy (part 1) and in combination with CARVac (part 2), following lymphodepletion to reduce the number of T cells present in the body and make room for the transferred CAR T cells. In part 2, CARVac was administered every 2 or 3 weeks up to 100 days after the CAR T-cell transfer, and one patient received maintenance vaccinations every 6 weeks. Overall, 16 patients had been treated at the time of this reporting.

Approximately 40% of patients developed manageable cytokine-release syndrome without any signs of neurotoxicity. Other adverse events included cytopenia and abnormal immune responses, all of which were resolved. Administration of CARVac resulted in transient flu-like symptoms that lasted up to 24 hours. CLDN6 CAR T treatment and CARVac appeared to be safe, with only limited and manageable adverse events, said Dr. Haanen.

Among the 14 patients who were evaluable for efficacy, at 6 weeks after infusion, four patients with testicular cancer and two with ovarian cancer experienced a partial response, with an overall response rate of nearly 43%. Among the study participants who had a partial response, four patients received CAR T cells as a monotherapy and two patients were treated with the CAR TCARVac combination. The disease control rate was 86%. In all evaluable patients, deepening of initial partial responses was observed at 12 weeks after infusion. This resulted in one complete response that has continued 6 months after infusion.

It is remarkable that most of the patients with testicular cancer showed clinical benefit at dose level 2, and the responses we have observed can be deep, including one ongoing complete remission, said Dr. Haanen.

Study Implications

The infusion of CLDN6 CAR T, alone or in combination with CARVac, is safe and holds promise for patients with CLDN6-positive cancers, Dr. Haanen added. CLDN6 was never targeted before with cellular therapy, but in our study, this approach is already showing efficacy that may be better than the data from other CAR T trials in solid tumors.

However, Dr. Haanen cautioned that these data are very early, with few patients having been treated, so no major conclusions can be drawn at this time.

Gene found to block small-cell lung cancer proliferation in mice – Medical News Today

Posted: April 19, 2022 at 1:50 am

The research, which appears in the journal Science Advances, lays the groundwork for developing future cancer treatments for humans.

An estimated 13% of diagnosed lung cancer is SCLC. According to the National Organization for Rare Diseases, SCLC is an aggressive type of cancer characterized by rapid, uncontrolled growth of certain cells in the lungs.

If SCLC is caught early and before it has spread, treatments can control the disease in up to 25% of cases.

The authors of the recent study wanted to understand the role of EP300 gene mutations in SCLC.

Medical News Today spoke with the corresponding authors of the study:

The current prognosis for SCLC patients is particularly poor with only 7% of patients surviving beyond 5 years. This reflects a lack of well-validated targets for therapy and a concomitant lack of targeted agents to treat the disease, they explained.

It is critical to garner further insights as to the drivers of the disease as well as develop drugs targeting those drivers. However, relevant pre-clinical models of SCLC carrying recurrent driver mutations were scarce, precluding the study to assess the physiological role of the mutations and the therapeutic impact of restoring their normal functions. So we built pre-clinical models using genetically engineered mice and cells.

By studying genetically engineered mouse models, the researchers found that EP300 the protein that the EP300 gene codes for can either promote or inhibit SCLC.

Specifically, they found that part of the EP300 protein known as the KIX domain was essential for the development of SCLC.

EP300 is a multi-functional protein and loss of its histone acetyltransferase domain function as predicted based on the mutations observed in SCLC patient tumors drives the cancer. This idea was validated by the findings from the pre-clinical models, they explained.

Unexpectedly, however, the models also showed that the KIX domain of the mutant EP300, which remains intact, drives the disease. Specifically, the protein-protein interactions mediated by the KIX domain of EP300 are critical for the survival of SCLC cells and vulnerable to inhibition. This was shown both in a mouse model as well as using human SCLC cell lines.

This validates the KIX domain of EP300 as a target for drug development for the treatment of SCLC, specifically a protein-protein interaction inhibitor of the KIX domain, said Drs. Park and Bushweller.

The finding may also have relevance for other types of cancer. According to the corresponding authors, EP300 mutations are widespread and have been implicated as having a critical role in other cancers including leukemia and triple-negative breast cancer.

MNT spoke with Dr. Charles Evans, research information manager at Cancer Research UK, who was not involved in the study.

This work highlights a key vulnerability that could be a target for potential new treatments, not only for small-cell lung cancer but also for other cancer types.

Dr. Evans

Right now, we only have a limited range of chemotherapy treatments available for people with small-cell lung cancer many of which can have harsh side effects, said Dr. Evans.

This study highlights a potential vulnerability for small-cell lung cancers, which could be exploited with new, targeted drugs in the future. However, more studies will be needed to confirm these results and develop a new treatment approach.

Dr. Evans said that the findings were one of a number of potential new treatment options for cancer.

There are other promising areas of research that are happening right now, such as the development of immunotherapies that can harness the power and precision of our immune systems to tackle cancer.

And innovations in radiotherapy, including new techniques such as proton beam therapy, have the potential to target tumors with a stronger dose far more precisely, limiting damage to surrounding tissue and reducing the burden of long-term side effects from treatment.

About Genprex, Inc.

Genprex, Inc. is a clinical-stage gene therapy company focused on developing life-changing therapies for patients with cancer and diabetes. Genprex's technologies are designed to administer disease-fighting genes to provide new therapies for large patient populations with cancer and diabetes who currently have limited treatment options. Genprex works with world-class institutions and collaborators to develop drug candidates to further its pipeline of gene therapies in order to provide novel treatment approaches. Genprex's oncology program utilizes its unique, proprietary, non-viral ONCOPREX Nanoparticle Delivery System, which the Company believes is the first systemic gene therapy delivery platform used for cancer in humans. ONCOPREX encapsulates the gene-expressing plasmids using lipid nanoparticles. The resultant product is then administered intravenously, where it is then taken up by tumor cells that express proteins that are deficient. The Company's lead product candidate, REQORSA (quaratusugene ozeplasmid), is being evaluated as a treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). REQORSA has a multimodal mechanism of action that has been shown to interrupt cell signaling pathways that cause replication and proliferation of cancer cells; re-establish pathways for apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in cancer cells; and modulate the immune response against cancer cells. REQORSA has also been shown to block mechanisms that create drug resistance. In 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track Designation for REQORSA for NSCLC in combination therapy with AstraZeneca's Tagrisso (osimertinib) for patients with EFGR mutations whose tumors progressed after treatment with Tagrisso. In 2021, the FDA granted Fast Track Designation for REQORSA for NSCLC in combination therapy with Merck & Co's Keytruda (pembrolizumab) for patients whose disease progressed after treatment with Keytruda.

Osaka University and Otsuka Pharmaceutical to enter into an exclusive license agreement on new anti-tumor antibody – EurekAlert

Posted: April 19, 2022 at 1:50 am

Osaka, JapanOsaka University and Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Otsuka) announced that Osaka University and Otsuka entered into an exclusive, worldwide license agreement for Otsuka to use R8H283, a novel antibody that recognizes the CD98 heavy chain identified by Osaka University, in its pharmaceutical and medical products.

R8H283 is an anti-CD98 heavy-chain antibody that was identified by a research group led by Professor Naoki Hosen (Department of Hematology and Oncology, Osaka University Graduate School of Medicine). CD98 heavy chain is a protein expressed in a wide range of tissues. However, R8H283 binds specifically to multiple myeloma. In February 2022, Osaka University announced that R8H283 showed significant anti-tumor effects in an animal model study.

(February 2022, Science Translational Medicine, Osaka University press release)

Upon consummation of this agreement, Otsuka will make an up-front payment to Osaka University, as well as development and sales-milestone payments and sales royalties. Otsuka will exclusively perform non-clinical research, clinical development, manufacturing, and commercialization of products utilizing R8H283, including ethical drugs as well as regenerative medicine products such as CAR-T cell therapy products.

Dr. Toshiki Sudo, board member for Research and Intellectual Property at Otsuka Pharmaceutical noted, "We are very pleased to in-license this promising new antibody from Osaka University. MMG49 CAR-T (development code: OPC-415), in-licensed from Osaka University in August 2018, has currently advanced to Phase I/II clinical trials. We hope that this agreement will lead to the development of new therapeutic agents and regenerative medicine products for malignant tumors."

Professor Naoki Hosen (Graduate School of Medicine, Osaka University) commented, "R8H283, a unique multiple myeloma-specific antibody, has the potential to be applied not only to antibody drugs but also to various other medical products, including CAR-T cells. In addition, this antibody could be applicable to other types of cancer. We believe that this agreement is very important in bringing these products to patients as soon as possible. We will continue our efforts to conduct research that will be useful in the treatment of patients suffering from cancer."

R8H283

The Osaka University research group identified R8H283, an antibody that binds to the CD98 heavy chain expressed in myeloma. The results of the study suggest that the difference in glycosylation of the CD98 heavy chain expressed on myeloma cells and normal blood cells may be responsible for its myeloma specificity. Furthermore, in experiments using mice, they showed that administration of R8H283 specifically eliminated only myeloma cells without damaging normal cells.

The results of this research were published in the U.S. scientific journal Science Translational Medicine on February 16, 2022. (Title: Selective targeting of multiple myeloma cells with a monoclonal antibody recognizing the ubiquitous protein CD98 heavy chain

CD98 Heavy Chains

CD98 heavy chains are expressed in various tissues and function as amino acid transporters by forming heterodimers with CD98 light chains on the cell membrane. In addition, CD98 heavy chain is known to be highly expressed in several cancer types.

Multiple myeloma

Multiple myeloma is a hematological cancer in which plasma cells producing antibodies in the bone marrow become malignant, undergo unregulated proliferation, and eventually accumulate. In recent years, its treatment options have increased and the lifespans of many patients with multiple myeloma have been extended. While treatable, it is generally not yet curable.

CAR-T cell therapy

CAR- (chimeric antigen receptor) T cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of white blood cell with a key role in immune defenses) are altered so they will attack cancer cells. A gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's cancer cells is introduced to the T cells. The special receptor is called a chimeric antigen receptor.

Global Dry Eye Products Markets Report 2022-2028: Ongoing Research and Growing Pipeline & Opportunities in Stem Cell Therapy -…

Posted: April 19, 2022 at 1:50 am

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Dry Eye Products Market Forecast to 2028- COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis - by Product; Type" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The dry eye products market is projected to reach US$ 9,681.73 million by 2028 from US$ 6,837.26 million in 2021; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2021 to 2028.

Factors such as rising incidences of dry eye and growing geriatric population are drive the growth of the market. However, the side effects caused due to eye drops hamper the market growth.

The Asia Pacific region is a highly affected region in the world as the outbreak of COVID-19 has come from China. Countries such as China, India, and South Korea have registered the highest number of COVID-19 positive patients. The countries have imposed lockdowns for several months.

Few countries such as South Korea and China have recovered from the pandemic. However, India is still struggling to fight against COVID-19. Therefore, there has been a great economic drop in the country, which is trying to recover. The fast recovery from the situation was seen due to the shift of focus of various companies operating in the ophthalmic division.

Companies have shifted their focus towards supplying reliefs to these countries as corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity. Also, governments are seeking help from the private sectors to contribute during the tough situation. Therefore, market players have strengthened their efforts to supply personal protective equipment.

For instance, in January 2020, Allergan plc has donated US$ 9,514 million (one million yen) to the Chinese Red Cross Foundation to provide medical masks, robes, gloves, eyewear, and other protective equipment for medical providers in Wuhan.

The incidence of dry eye is commonly seen in older people of age 65 and above. The number of geriatric population is increasing rapidly across the world. The older population is becoming a significant social transformation such as depending on the other for financial needs and wellness on the younger people in the present century.

Older people are significantly contributing to the development of the medical sector as it is helps by offering various innovative techniques to treat older people. Various healthcare companies design their products by focusing on geriatric population. As the degeneration process among older people is much faster, they are highly prevalent to dry eye conditions.

Therefore, the high prevalence of dry eye among older population is likely to promote manufacturers to introduce new dry eye products in the market, which, in turn, contributes to the growth of the market. For instance, according to the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, the United Nations report for 2019, there were 703 million individuals of age 65 years and above and is estimated to grow double to 1.5 billion by 2050.

Product Insights

The dry eye products market is segmented on the basis of product and type. Based on the product, the market is segmented into artificial tears, antibiotic drops, hormone drops, and others. The artificial tears segment held the largest share of the market in 2021, and the hormone drops segment is estimated to register the highest CAGR of 5.9% in the market during the forecast period.

Stem cell cure for lower back pain is all in the ‘hiPS’ – Study Finds

Posted: April 19, 2022 at 1:46 am

OSAKA, Japan A new biomaterial can help regenerate tissue in people dealing with chronic lower back pain and spinal issues. Researchers in Japan say the secret to this breakthrough therapy is all in the hiPS. Not those hips, but human induced pluripotent stem cells.

A team from Osaka and Kyoto Universities explain that a common cause of lower back pain is the degeneration of intervertebral discs (IVDs). These discs sit between the vertebrae in the spine and help give the spinal column its flexibility. Severe IVD degeneration eventually leads to spinal deformity without treatment. In the new study, scientists used cartilage tissue derived from stem cells to build back lost IVDs in lab rats.

Researchers believe this problem starts in the nucleus pulposus (NP) the inner core of the vertebral disc. NP cells produce the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM), which supports these cells and gives the NP its elasticity.

Although other treatments which use viable NP cells to fix the ECM have been promising, they lose their effectiveness in advanced cases of IVD degeneration. In people with severe degeneration in their spines, there arent enough of these cells present to respond to treatment.

With that in mind, the team looked at creating an implant which carries the necessary cells already. From there, the implant can create and regenerate the ECM that the NP cells form.

The ECM of the NP is a network of collagen that acts as scaffolding for other important proteins. Interestingly, this composition is similar to the ECM of articular cartilage, says lead author Takashi Kamatani in a media release. Thus, we hypothesized that cell types that can produce and support cartilage could be useful for treating IVD degeneration.

Study authors used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) during their experiments. These cells are basically the building blocks of development, turning into other types of cells as a person grows from an infant to an adult. They also dont have the growth and division limits that NP cells do.

Importantly, scientists are capable of turning iPSCs into chondrocytes cells that produce and maintain cartilage. Previous studies have successfully used this same method to treat cartilage defects in animals.

In the new study, researchers created human iPSC-derived cartilaginous tissue (hiPS-Cart) that they implanted into rats with no NP cells in their intervertebral discs.

The hiPS-Cart implanted in these rats was able to survive and be maintained, explains senior author Noriyuki Tsumaki. IVD and vertebral bone degeneration were prevented. We also assessed the mechanics and found that hiPS-Cart was able to revert these properties to similar levels observed in the control rats.

The team also studied the gene expression of the hiPS-Cart six weeks after the procedure. Results show hiPS-Cart displayed the same characteristics of chondrocyte-like NP cells, instead of another type of NP cell called notochordal. Researchers say this means chondrocyte-like cells are able to restore spinal health and function on their own.

Our findings provide strong support for using this hiPS-Cart system in the development of treatments for human IVD degeneration, Kamatani concludes.

The study is published in the journal Biomaterials.
