Redirecting the Specificity of T cells – Proposed Mechanism of Action of CAR T cells
§ Gene transfer technology is used to stably express CARs on T cells, conferring novel antigen specificity1,2
§ CART19 cells can thus be directed against any tumor cell that expresses the CD19 surface antigen
§ CART19 therapy takes advantage of the cytotoxic potential of T cells thereby killing tumor cells in an antigen-dependent manner1,3
§ Persistent CART19 cells consist of both effector (cytotoxic) and central memory T cells3
§ T cells arer non-cross resistant to chemotherpy
§ Responses are cytolytic: no swelling!

• Retrovirus transduced T cells are not associated with delayed adverse events.
• Retrovirus-modified T cells are capable of long term persistence at >0.1 % PBMC in vivo for at least 10 yr.
• Engrafted cells continue to express transgene transcripts (not shown).
• The mechanisms of persistence are not yet known. ü Conclude: T cells with “stemness” can be
modified and engraft

§ There is a need for better therapeutic strategies that specifically target B-cell malignancies and improve patient outcomes
17
CLL § 15,680 new cases will be diagnosed and
4,580 will die of CLL in the US in 20131
§ Overall 5-year survival is 79%1
§ CLL is incurable except by allogeneic stem cell transplant (ASCT)2
• Few candidates are eligible for ASCT
§ Patients with relapsed/refractory disease have poor prognosis2
ALL § 6,070 new cases will be diagnosed and
1,430 will die of ALL in the US in 20131
§ Most common childhood malignancy, but also affects adults (median age 14)1
§ In pediatric patients, overall survival is 80-90%, however, ~20% will relapse3,4
§ Although up to 80% of adults will achieve an initial complete response, majority will relapse5,6
§ ASCT is a curative option for eligible patients

1. Leukapheresis: the patient’s own T cells are harvested
2. T cells are activated and genetically transduced ex vivo with a construct encoding the anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor
3. CTL019 cells undergo ex vivo expansion on antibody-coated beads
4. Chemotherapy (optional step): patient may receive a preparative lymphodepleting regimen before T-cell infusion
5. CTL019 cells are reinfused into the patient where they undergo in vivo expansion and target CD19+ cells for destruction. They remain persistent in the body to guard against residual or recurring disease

Potential Roles of CAR T Cells for ALL

• Consolidate patients with MRD • Reinduce remission • Produce MRD (-) state prior to allo SCT • Bridge to SCT • Multicenter trials in pediatric ALL (Novartis)
§ With adequate persistence, can we imagine a replacement for allo-SCT? - cancer “stem” cells can persist >1 decade
Roadblocks to Successful Cellular Immunotherapy for Cancer
PROBLEM
• Targeting
• Expansion ex vivo
• Expansion in the host
• Persistence
• Toxicity
SOLUTION
• For ALL, CD19 CAR
• CD3/CD28 beads
• Up to 10,000x in vivo
• Out to >3 years in CLL
• IL-6 receptor blockade
CART19 Toxicities
• B cell aplasia Ø observed in all responding patients to date Ø managed with replacement therapy
• Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) Ø may be delayed for 20 to 50 days post infusion
• Cytokine release syndrome (CRS) Ø reversible, on-target toxicity Ø Severity related to tumor burden: Treat MRD as outpatient?
• Macrophage activation syndrome (HLH / MAS) Ø elevated serum ferritin (>500,000 ng/ml), CRP, D-dimer Ø elevated cytokines: IL-6, IFN-gamma Ø Reversed with tocilizumab

Summary
• CD19 CARs have potent anti-leukemic effects in ALL and CLL with durable responses >3 years. CD19 CARs induce B cell aplasia • Managed with IVIG infusions
• Anti-mesothelin mRNA CARs are safe (24 infusions to date) and anti-tumor effects observed in 2 of 4 evaluable patients: one with mesothelioma and one with pancreatic cancer.
