Culturing adequate CAR-T cells from less peripheral blood to treat B-cell malignancies

Objective: Chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells have shown impressive results against relapsed/refractory B cell malignancies. However, the traditional manufacture of CAR-T cells requires leukapheresis to isolate large amounts of peripheral blood T cells, thus making some patients inel...

However, the traditional manufacture of CAR-T cells requires leukapheresis to isolate large amounts of peripheral blood T cells, thus making some patients ineligible for the procedure. Methods: We developed a simple method for CAR-T cell preparation requiring small volumes of peripheral blood. First, CD3+ T cells isolated from 50 mL peripheral blood from patients (B-cell malignancies) were stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3/RetroNectin in 6-well plates and then transduced with CAR-expressing lentiviral vector. After 4 d, the T cells were transferred to culture bags for large-scale CAR-T cell expansion. In vitro and animal experiments were performed to evaluate the activity of the manufactured CAR-T cells. Finally, 29 patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and 9 patients with B-cell lymphoma were treated with the CAR-T cells. Results: The CAR-T cells were expanded to 1–3 × 108 cells in 8–10 d and successfully killed B cell-derived malignant tumor cells in vitro and in vivo. For patients with B-ALL, the complete remission rate was 93% 1 month after CAR-T cell infusion; after 12 months, the overall survival (OS) and leukemia-free survival rates were 69% and 31%, respectively. For patients with lymphoma, the objective response rate (including complete and partial remission) was 78% 2 months after CAR-T cell infusion, and after 12 months, the OS and progression-free survival rates were 71% and 43%, respectively. Cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) occurred in 65.51% and 55.56% of patients with B-ALL and B-cell lymphoma, respectively; severe CRS developed in 20.69% of patients with B-ALL and in no patients with lymphoma. Conclusions: Our novel method can generate sufficient numbers of CAR-T cells for clinical use from 50–100 mL peripheral blood, thus providing an alternative means of CAR-T cell generation for patients ineligible for leukapheresis.Lu HanJian ZhouLinlin LiKeshu ZhouLingdi ZhaoXinghu ZhuQingsong YinYufu LiHongqin YouJishuai ZhangYongping SongQuanli GaoChina Anti-Cancer Associationarticlefewer initial lymphocytesperipheral bloodcar-t cellsb-cell malignancyacute lymphoblastic leukemiaNeoplasms.
