Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells (CART) are active in relapsed/refractory (r/r) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), but relapse remains a substantial challenge. Reinfusion with the same CART product (CART2) in patients with suboptimal response or antigen positive relapse following first infusion (CART1) represents a potential treatment strategy, though early experiences suggest limited efficacy of CART2 with CD19 targeting. We report on our experience with CART2 across a host of novel CAR T-cell trials. This was a retrospective review of children and young adults with B-ALL who received reinfusion with an anti-CD19, anti-CD22, or anti-CD19/22 CART construct on one of 3 CAR T-cells trials at the National Cancer Institute (NCT01593696, NCT02315612, NCT0344839) between July 2012 and January 2021. All patients received lymphodepletion (LD) pre-CART (standard LD: 75 mg/m fludarabine, 900 mg/m cyclophosphamide; or intensified LD: 120 mg/m fludarabine, 1200 mg/m cyclophosphamide). Primary objectives were to describe response to and toxicity of CART2. Indication for CART2, impact of LD intensity, and CAR T-cell expansion and leukemia antigen expression between CART infusions was additionally evaluated. Eighteen patients proceeded to CART2 due to persistent (n=7) or relapsed antigen positive disease (n=11) following CART1. Seven of 18 (38.9%) demonstrated objective response (responders) to CART2: 5 achieved a minimal residual disease (MRD) negative CR, 1 had persistent MRD level disease, and 1 showed a partial remission, the latter with eradication of antigen positive disease and emergence of antigen negative B-ALL. Responders included four patients who had not achieved a CR with CART1. Limited cytokine release syndrome was seen following CART2. Peripheral blood CART1 expansion was higher than CART2 expansion (p=0.03). Emergence of antigen negative/dim B-ALL in 6 (33.3%) patients following CART2 contributed to lack of CR. Five of seven (71.4%) responders received intensified LD pre-CART2, which corresponded with higher CART2 expansion than in those receiving standard LD (p=0.029). Diminished CAR T-cell expansion and antigen downregulation/loss impeded robust responses to CART2. A subset of patients, however, may derive benefit from CART2 despite suboptimal response to CART1. Intensified LD may be one strategy to augment CART2 responses, though further study of factors associated with CART2 response, including serial monitoring of antigen expression, is warranted.
嵌合抗原受体 T 细胞(CART)在复发/难治性(r/r)B 细胞急性淋巴细胞白血病(B-ALL)中具有活性,但复发仍然是一个重大挑战。在首次输注后出现反应不佳或抗原阳性复发的患者中再输注同种 CART 产品(CART2)代表了一种潜在的治疗策略,尽管早期经验表明针对 CD19 的 CART2 疗效有限。我们报告了在一系列新型 CAR T 细胞试验中使用 CART2 的经验。这是对在 2012 年 7 月至 2021 年 1 月期间在国立癌症研究所(NCT01593696、NCT02315612、NCT0344839)的 3 项 CAR T 细胞试验之一中接受抗 CD19、抗 CD22 或抗 CD19/22 CART 构建物再输注的 B-ALL 儿童和年轻成人的回顾性研究。所有患者均接受 CART 前淋巴细胞耗竭(LD)(标准 LD:75mg/m 氟达拉滨,900mg/m 环磷酰胺;或强化 LD:120mg/m 氟达拉滨,1200mg/m 环磷酰胺)。主要目的是描述 CART2 的反应和毒性。还评估了 CART2 的适应证、LD 强度的影响以及 CART 输注之间 CAR T 细胞的扩增和白血病抗原表达。由于 CART1 后持续存在(n=7)或抗原阳性疾病复发(n=11),18 例患者接受了 CART2。18 例中有 7 例(38.9%)对 CART2 有客观反应(应答者):5 例达到最小残留疾病(MRD)阴性 CR,1 例持续存在 MRD 水平疾病,1 例表现为部分缓解,后者消除了抗原阳性疾病并出现抗原阴性 B-ALL。应答者包括 4 名在 CART1 后未达到 CR 的患者。CART2 后观察到有限的细胞因子释放综合征。外周血 CART1 扩增高于 CART2 扩增(p=0.03)。6 例(33.3%)患者在接受 CART2 后出现抗原阴性/减弱 B-ALL,这导致缺乏 CR。7 名应答者中的 5 名在接受 CART2 前接受了强化 LD,这与接受标准 LD 的患者相比,CART2 扩增更高(p=0.029)。CAR T 细胞扩增减弱和抗原下调/丢失阻碍了对 CART2 的强烈反应。然而,尽管对 CART1 的反应不佳,仍有一部分患者可能受益于 CART2。强化 LD 可能是增强 CART2 反应的一种策略,但需要进一步研究与 CART2 反应相关的因素,包括对抗原表达的连续监测。
