项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a fatal and difficult to treat brain tumor with a dismal median survival of less than 2 years. Standard therapy consists of surgical tumor resection, radiotherapy, and temozolomide, which only delay tumor recurrence. Recent success of CAR T cell therapy against Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphomas have gener- ated significant excitement for the application of CAR T cells in GBM and several clinical trials have demonstrated efficacy of CAR T cells in patients with GBM. However, both immunosuppression and the blood brain barrier act as major impediments limiting CAR T cell efficacy in glioblastoma. Preclinical trials with localized administration for CAR T cells via intratumoral or intraventricular routes enhance CAR T cell infiltration to brain tumor and outperforms i.v. infusions. With locoregional control, CAR T cells are infused into the resected tumor cavity, followed by repeated infusions into the ventricular system. Multiple administrations are necessary to maintain a larger dose of CAR T cells without causing toxicity and to enhance persistence of functional CAR T cells over a longer time. However, this repetitive dosing is a major obstacle to clinical translation of CAR T cells against GBM. CAR T cell manufacturing takes weeks and carries high costs - ~$500,000 per dose. The long manufacturing time creates delays of weeks to months to infuse CAR T cells to patients with rapidly progressing disease. Additionally, lengthy ex vivo manipulations create CAR T cells with heterogeneous composition and terminal differentiation, limiting their engraftment and persistence. Taken together, the many shortfalls of current CAR T cell manufacturing urgently demand development of innovative tools to reduce manufacturing time and provide optimal CAR T cell phenotype and distribution. In this proposal, we describe the application of Multifunctional Alginate Scaffold for T cell Engineering and Release (MASTER) for use in GBM. MASTER will be implanted in the surgical cavity of GBM to generate and release CAR T cells in vivo with improved efficacy and persistence. Based on significant published and preliminary data, we show that MASTER provides bio-instructive ques to activate, transduce, expand, and release fully functional CAR T cells in vivo. The scaffold includes anchored activating antibodies and interleukins to guarantee T cell activation and proliferation. Scaffold macroporosity facilitates homogeneous distribution of T cells, creates an interface for interaction between viruses and T cells, and enables in vivo release of fully functional CAR T cells. MASTER reduces CAR T manufacturing times from weeks to a single day, substantially reducing costs. We demonstrate in preliminary data and propose further that MASTER seeded with naïve PBMCs and anti-B7H3 CAR-encoding retrovirus will be implanted in the resection cavity of a brain tumor. B7H3 is overexpressed in brain tumors and serves as a promising therapeutic target for CAR T cell therapy. This approach could have enormous clinical impact by significantly reducing therapy costs and dramatically expanding the patient population benefiting from CAR T cell therapy. These studies will provide a foundational technology platform for CAR T cell manufacturing and promote widespread patient access.

项目总结摘要多形性胶质母细胞瘤是一种致命且难于治疗的脑肿瘤，中位生存期较低。不只是两年。标准治疗包括手术切除肿瘤、放射治疗和替莫唑胺，这只是延缓肿瘤复发。最近CAR T细胞治疗非霍奇金淋巴瘤的成功有更多的基因。 CAR T细胞在GBM中的应用引起了极大的兴奋，几项临床试验表明 CAR T细胞在GBM患者中的疗效。然而，免疫抑制和血脑屏障都起作用。作为限制CAR T细胞在胶质母细胞瘤中疗效的主要障碍。局部给药的临床前试验对于通过瘤内或脑室途径的CAR T细胞，增强CAR T细胞对脑瘤的侵袭和胜过静脉注射。输液。在局部区域控制下，CAR T细胞被注入切除的肿瘤腔内，然后反复向脑室系统输液。多个行政当局是必要的，以维持更大剂量的CAR T细胞而不会造成毒性，并增强功能CAR T细胞在更长的时间。然而，这种重复给药是临床上将CAR T细胞转化为抗GBM的主要障碍。汽车T细胞的制造需要几周的时间，而且成本很高--每剂大约50万美元。漫长的制造业时间造成了数周到数月的延迟，无法将CAR T细胞注入患有快速进展的疾病的患者。此外，长时间的体外操作会产生具有不同组成和终末的CAR T细胞分化，限制了它们的植入性和持久性。综上所述，目前T型车的许多不足之处单元制造迫切需要开发创新工具，以缩短制造时间并提供最佳CAR T细胞表型和分布。在本方案中，我们描述了多功能的应用用于T细胞工程和释放的藻酸盐支架(主)，用于GBM。师父将被植入手术腔内的GBM能够在体内产生和释放CAR T细胞，具有更好的疗效和持久性。基于大量已发表的和初步的数据，我们表明，师父为人类提供了生物教学问题。体内激活、转导、扩增和释放功能齐全的CAR T细胞。脚手架包括锚定的激活抗体和白介素来保证T细胞的激活和增殖。支架大孔率促进T细胞的均匀分布，为病毒和T细胞之间的相互作用创造了一个接口，并能在体内释放全功能的CAR T细胞。Master将汽车T的制造时间从从几周减少到一天，大大降低了成本。我们在初步数据中论证并进一步提出植入幼稚PBMCs和抗B7H3CAR编码逆转录病毒的母体将被植入切除脑瘤的空洞。B7H3在脑瘤中过表达，有望成为治疗脑肿瘤的靶点汽车T细胞疗法。这种方法可以显著降低治疗成本，从而产生巨大的临床影响。并极大地扩大了受益于CAR T细胞治疗的患者群体。这些研究将提供一个汽车T细胞制造的基础技术平台，并促进广泛的患者接触。
