Abstract
There are inconsistencies in the reporting of CD19 antigen status following treatment with CD19-targeted therapies. A majority of evidence comes from studies reporting small sample sizes. In this review, we systematically summarize published studies that have reported rates of CD19-negative relapse after treatment with either blinatumomab or CD19-directed CAR T-cell therapy and report the rates of CD19-negative relapse when evaluated in a standardized way across trials. CD19-negative relapse appears to occur more commonly in relapses following CAR T-cell therapy compared with blinatumomab, whether proportions are calculated among all treated patients (8.7% vs 4.5%) or among patients who relapse (30% vs 22.5%). The median (range) duration of follow-up was 29.3 (17.4-50.8) and 20.4 (6.9-49.0) months for publications on blinatumomab (n = 10) and CAR T-cell therapies (n = 23), respectively. There is a need for standardized reporting of CD19 antigen status in the setting of relapse following novel immunotherapies to inform clinical practice.

Abstract
While cord blood (CB) is primarily utilized in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), the development of novel cell therapy products from CB is a growing and developing field. Compared to adult blood, CB is characterized by a higher percentage of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and progenitor cells, less mature immune cells that retain a high capacity of proliferation, and stronger immune tolerance that requires less stringent HLA-matching when used in the allogenic setting. Given that CB is an FDA regulated product and along with its unique cellular composition, CB lends itself as a readily available and safe starting material for the development of off-the-shelf cell therapies. Moreover, non-hematologic cells such as mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) residing in CB or CB tissue also have potential in regenerative medicine and inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. In this review, we will focus on recent clinical development on CB-derived cellular therapies in the field of oncology, including T-cell therapies such as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells, regulatory T-cells, and virus-specific T-cells; NK-cell therapies, such as NK cell engagers and CAR NK-cells; CB-HCT and various modifications; as well as applications of MSCs in HCT.

Unrelated cord blood transplantation vs. HLA-matched sibling transplantation for adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in complete remission: superior OS for patients with long-term survival. STEM CELL RESEARCH & THERAPY 2022; 13:500. [PMID: 36210439 PMCID: PMC9549614 DOI: 10.1186/s13287-022-03186-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is an important curative therapy for adult acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). For patients who lack a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched sibling donor, unrelated cord blood (UCB) is an alternative graft option. Previous studies have focused mainly on all T- and B-cell ALL (B-ALL) patients, while data related specifically to adult B-ALL patients after UCB transplantation (UCBT) are scarce. Methods We retrospectively compared the outcomes of UCBT and HLA-matched sibling transplantation (MST) in the treatment of adult B-ALL patients in complete remission (CR) at our center. From June 2006 to December 2020, 156 adult B-ALL patients who achieved CR before transplantation were enrolled. The main clinical outcomes of UCBT and MST were analyzed. Results Hematopoietic recovery was significantly faster in MST recipients than in UCBT recipients. Higher incidences of grades II-IV and III-IV acute graft-versus host disease (aGVHD) were found in UCBT recipients (P < 0.001 and = 0.03), while a lower incidence of extensive chronic GVHD (cGVHD) was found in UCBT recipients (P < 0.001). The cumulative incidences of 2-year non-relapse mortality (NRM), 2-year relapse, 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and 5-year GVHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) were comparable between MST and UCBT recipients. The overall survival (OS) during the first 700 days was similar between the MST and UCBT groups, while the OS of patients with a survival time of more than 700 days in the UCBT group was better than that in the MST group according to multivariate analysis (P = 0.03). Conclusions Our study shows that when treating adult B-ALL patients in CR, UCBT can achieve comparable effects as MST, may provide superior OS for patients with long-term survival, and should be considered a good alternative.

Impact of Consolidative Unrelated Cord Blood Transplantation on Clinical Outcomes of Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Acute B Lymphoblastic Leukemia Entering Remission Following CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells. Front Immunol 2022; 13:879030. [PMID: 35558072 PMCID: PMC9086894 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.879030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background While chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy is becoming widely used in hematological malignancies with remarkable remission rate, their high recurrence remains an obstacle to overcome. The role of consolidative transplantation following CAR-T cell-mediated remission remains controversial. We conducted a retrospective study to explore whether bridging to unrelated cord blood transplantation (UCBT) could improve the prognosis of patients entering remission after CAR-T therapy with different characteristics through subgroup analyses. Methods We reviewed 53 patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) successfully infused with CD19 CAR-T cells and achieved complete remission (CR). In this study, 25 patients received consolidative UCBT (UCBT group) and 28 patients did not accept any intervention until relapse (non-UCBT group). Subgroup analysis on prognosis was then performed according to gender, age, number of previous relapses, tumor burden, presence of poor prognostic markers, and structure of CAR. Results Compared with the non-UCBT group, patients who underwent consolidative UCBT had better median event-free survival (EFS; 12.3 months vs. 6.2 months; P = 0.035) and relapse-free survival (RFS; 22.3 months vs. 7.2 months; P = 0.046), while no significant difference was found in overall survival (OS; 30.8 months vs. 15.3 months; P = 0.118). Subsequent multivariate analysis revealed that bridging to UCBT was a protective factor for RFS (P = 0.048) but had no significant effect on EFS (P = 0.205) or OS (P = 0.541). In the subgroup analysis, UCBT has an added benefit in patients with specific characteristics. Patients who experienced ≥2 relapses or with sustained non-remission (NR) showed better RFS (P = 0.025) after UCBT. Better EFS was seen in patients with poor prognostic markers (P = 0.027). In the subgroup with pre-infusion minimal residual disease (MRD) ≥5% or with extramedullary disease (EMD), UCBT significantly prolonged EFS (P = 0.009), RFS (P = 0.017), and OS (P = 0.026). Patients with occurrence of acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) appeared to have a longer duration of remission (P = 0.007). Conclusion Consolidative UCBT can, to some extent, improve clinical outcomes of patients with R/R B-ALL entering remission following CD19 CAR-T therapy, especially in patients with more recurrences before treatment, patients with poor prognostic markers, and patients with a higher tumor burden. The occurrence of aGVHD after UCBT was associated with better RFS.
