While APOBEC editors can reportedly exhibit guide-independent deamination of both DNA and RNA, we found no problematic 'off-target' activity or promiscuous base conversion affecting CAR antigen-specific binding regions, which may otherwise redirect T cell specificity. Combinational infusion of fratricide-resistant anti-T CAR T cells may enable enhanced molecular remission ahead of allo-HSCT for T cell malignancies.

Clinical, Journal, CAR T-Cell Therapy, IO biomarker: Chimeric antigen receptor T cells targeting CD7 in a child with high-risk T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 5, 2022 Oral administration of itraconazole and sulfamethoxazole was performed from day 0 after CAR-T cell infusion...Although grade 1 cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) was diagnosed, it was successfully treated with ibuprofen...After complete remission, the patient received hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and has recovered well to thisdate. Overall, this report suggested that 4SCAR7 could be a safe and effective strategy for the treatment of pediatric patients with high-risk T-cell malignancies.

(b) This immunophenotype is not specific, but can assist in the distinction from non-neoplastic T cells and other subtypes of mature T-cell neoplasm. (c) However, small subsets of normal and reactive T-cells can have an overlapping immunophenotype, and can be distinguished by evaluating for additional changes in antigen expression.

Diminished caspase activation downstream of Hexamer signaling led to decreased pannexin-1 hemichannel opening and interleukin-2 secretion, events facilitated by the increased caspase activation downstream of wild-type Gal3 signaling. Thus, synthetic fixation of Gal3 multivalency can impart physical control of its outside-in signaling activity by governing membrane glycoprotein engagement and, in turn, intracellular pathway activation.

First-in-Human Clinical Study of a Novel CD7-Targeted Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T Cell Therapy for Refractory/Relapsed Mixed Phenotype Acute Leukemia (MPAL) (GWCC - Hall B5, Level 1) - Dec 4, 2021 - Abstract #ASH2021ASH_6968; P=N/A Prior to the CAR-T cells infusion, patients received systemic bridging chemotherapy due to rapid disease progression and then all patients received intravenous fludarabine (30mg/m 2 /d) and cyclophosphamide (300mg/m 2 /d) (FC) lymphodepleting chemotherapy for 3 consecutive days (Day -5 to Day -3)...Conclusion This study demonstrated that CD7-targeted CAR-T therapy offers an opportunity to achieve CR for CD7-positive MPAL patients even for those who relapsed post-transplant. Safety was manageable, however, more data on additional patients and longer observation times are needed to further evaluate the efficacy of CD7 CAR-T products.

By tracking transcriptomic profiles within and across Dx_Rel T-ALL pairs, we further identified distinct clonal evolutionary patterns, which may determine diversified fates of leukemic clones in response to therapeutic pressures. In the meantime, we provided a comprehensive phenotypic view on "normal" T cells under leukemic prevalence and re-occurrence, extending significant implications for future precise immunotherapies.

An exception is CD7, which was enriched at relapse in 50% of our cases and represents a potential therapeutic target. Analysis of more cases will refine these relapse patterns, reveal potential mechanisms of chemoresistance and inform the development of novel therapies.

A first in human Phase 1/2 trial in patients with R/R T-ALL/LBL is currently open for enrollment (NCT# 04984356).
