Immunotherapy Continues on Positive Trajectory in Lymphoid Malignancies – OncLive

The treatment landscape of lymphoid malignancies space is rich with available immunotherapy agents, said Joshua Brody, MD. However, the field continues to push toward improving response rates by refining established modalities, such as CAR T-cell therapy and checkpoint inhibitors, as well as introducing novel modalities.

During the5th AnnualInternational Congress on Immunotherapies in Cancer, a program run by Physicians Education Resource (PER), Brody, an assistant professor of medicine, hematology, and medical oncology and director of the Lymphoma Immunotherapy Program at The Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai, gave a presentation on established and upcoming immunotherapies in the lymphoid malignancy pipeline.

We are somewhat lucky, and maybe a bit spoiled in lymphoid malignancies, such as lymphomas and some B-cell malignancies, to have [seen] a huge amount of progress [with immunotherapy], said Brody.

However, lymphoid malignancies are highly heterogeneous. As such, not all patients are able to derive responses from the same therapy, Brody explained.

CAR T-cell therapy represents a significant advance in the treatment paradigms of several hematologic malignancies, including lymphoid malignancies, said Brody.

The results [of CAR T-cell therapy treatment] for patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas have been amazing, Brody said. [CAR T-cell therapy] has shown higher response rates [in this space] than any other immunotherapy for any type of cancer; response rates are above 80%. Many of those [responses] are long lasting, complete remissions [CRs].

Notably, it is thought that patients who remain in CR for at least 6 to 12 months after CAR T-cell therapy infusion are likely cured of their lymphoma, Brody said. For example, it is likely that around 35% to 40% of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who receive CAR T-cell therapy are effectively cured.

Third-line [DLBCL], the most common type of lymphoma, [was thought to be] an incurable disease setting, said Brody. We [thought we could] cure people in the first- or second-line setting, but not beyond. Im not sure how we define a miracle, but it seems miraculous to me to change the incurable to partly curable.

Now, ongoing research efforts are attempting to refine CAR T-cell therapies to enhance responses and expand the utility of the modality to other hematologic malignancies beyond DLBCL, acute leukemia, and mantle cell lymphoma, explained Brody. For example, developing armored CAR T cells and fourth-generation CAR T cellsT cellsredirected for antigenunrestricted cytokineinitiated killingmay allow for improved delivery of cytotoxic payloads to liquid as well as solid tumors.

Additionally, novel CAR T-cell therapies may overcome some of the ongoing challenges observed with current, autologous products, such as toxicity, accessibility, and feasibility. For example, utilizing an allogeneic approach to CAR T-cell therapy may allow for an off-the-shelf option that could alleviate the risk of cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity.

Beyond CAR T-cell therapy, bispecific monoclonal antibodies, such as the investigational CD20/CD3-directed REGN1979 agent, could potentially be used in patients who progress after CAR T-cell therapy. Findings from a phase 1 trial (NCT02290951) demonstrated high objective response rates and CR rates among patients with heavily pretreated, relapsed/refractory NHL who were treated with REGN1979.1

Although the toxicity challenges of CAR T-cell therapies are likely not going to be solved with bispecific antibodies, the novel agents may offer an alternative option that can decrease the risk of adverse effects.

At least with [bispecific antibodies], we can tweak and optimize [dosing] a bit, explained Brody. CAR T-cell therapy is usually a one-shot therapy, [whereas] bispecifics can be given in low, medium, or high doses. We can up-titrate the therapy to try to minimize or avoid some of these toxicities.

Additionally, bispecific antibodies are potentially able to avoid antigen escape, which is a common concern with CD19/CD20-directed CAR T-cell therapies, Brody explained.

PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors have transformed the treatment landscape in melanoma, lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and bladder cancer. However, Hodgkin lymphoma is the most responsive disease to antiPD-1 agents because chromosomal amplifications or translocations are hardwired to overexpress PD-1, Brody said.

As such, responses with checkpoint inhibitors, such as nivolumab (Opdivo), are seen in around 70% of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma who progress following autologous stem cell transplant.2

The introduction of checkpoint inhibitors to this space has been particularly encouraging for younger patients who fail curative-intent chemotherapy and who, historically, had dismal prognoses.

Currently, ongoing efforts are attempting to bring PD-1 inhibitors to the second-line setting and, potentially, up-front settings in combination with chemotherapy.

Although it is true that hot tumors are more likely to respond to immunotherapy compared with cold tumors, it is not the only factor that contributes to whether a tumor will respond. As such, alternative methods of improving immune response in patients with lymphoid malignancies are being evaluated.

For example, one investigational method is to utilize radiotherapy or other means to mobilize dendritic cells loaded with tumor antigens to antigen-presenting cells. Ultimately, this compound could serve as a therapeutic anti-cancer vaccine to deliver the antigens, as well as costimulatory signals, to the cancer cells.

As such, an ongoing trial (NCT03789097) led by Brody is currently testing an in situ vaccine combining radiation therapy, the immune cell growth factor Flt3L/CDX-301, the immune-cell activating factor Poly-ICLC, and pembrolizumab (Keytruda).3 Initial findings from the study have yielded encouraging results, according to Brody.

In situ vaccines such as this may be able to cross prime T cells and increase the effectiveness of immunotherapy for patients, Brody concluded.

Dosing Finishes in Trial of NurOwn Cell Therapy for Progressive MS – Multiple Sclerosis News Today

Patient dosing has finished in a Phase 2 clinical trial testingNurOwn, BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics investigational cell-based therapy for people with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), the company announced.

The trials top-line results are expected by April.

Now that all dosing of the NurOwn Phase 2 progressive MS clinical trial is complete, we will shift our focus to completing all remaining patient clinical trial assessments and biomarker analyses, Ralph Kern, MD, BrainStorms president and chief medical officer, said in a press release.

We look forward to generating clinical trial top line results by the end of the first quarter 2021 and to advancing this promising treatment option based on a thorough analysis of the clinical trial outcomes, Kern added.

Stacy Lindborg, PhD, BrainStorms executive vice president and head of global clinical research, noted that the full study data will be shared with the MS scientific community at upcoming conferences and in subsequent publications to help advance understanding of progressive MS and the potential benefits of NurOwn as a treatment.

NurOwn involves collecting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from a patients own bone marrow, and expanding and maturating them into cells that produce high levels of neurotrophic factors (NTF) molecules that promote nerve cell growth and survival. MSCs are stem cells that can generate a variety of other cell types.

The mature cells called MSC-NTF cells are then injected into the patients spinal canal to promote and support nerve cell repair. Using a patients own cells minimizes the risk of an immune reaction, as might occur with cells from a donor.

In MS, NurOwn is believed to promote the repair of myelin the protective sheath around nerve fibers that is lost in MS lessen the likelihood of further damage, and potentially slow disease progression.

A previous preclinical study suggested that NurOwn may also be able to suppress the damaging immune responses that contribute to MS progression, by promoting a cellular and molecular shift toward an anti-inflammatory state.

The open-label Phase 2 trial (NCT03799718) is evaluating NurOwns safety and effectiveness in 20 adults, ages 18 to 65, with either primary progressive MS or secondary progressive MS. Patient enrollment started in March 2019, and the trial is taking place at five U.S. sites.

Participants received a total of three injections of NurOwn, directly into the spinal canal, over a 16-week period (about four months), and will now be followed for 12 weeks (about three months) for safety and effectiveness measurements.

The studys main goal is to assess the safety of the procedure. Effectiveness goals include changes in patients walking abilities or finger dexterity, as well as in the levels of neurotrophic and immunomodulatory biomarkers in their cerebrospinal fluid (the liquid that bathes the brain and the spinal cord).

Completed dosing of the Phase 2 progressive MS clinical trial is a major milestone for BrainStorm as we advance our goal to develop the NurOwn platform technology in neurodegenerative diseases, saidChaim Lebovits, BrainStorms CEO.

We are very thankful for the dedicated efforts of the investigators and their teams and to the patients who participated in this important clinical trial. Through their combined efforts, we hope to bring a promising therapeutic option to those affected by progressive MS, Lebovits added.

BrainStorm also is evaluating NurOwn as a potential therapy for other neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinsons disease, and Huntingtons disease, as well as for autism spectrum disorder.
