Bispecific CAR-T cells targeting both CD19 and CD22 for therapy of adults with relapsed or refractory B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Background Despite the impressive complete remission (CR) induced by CD19 CAR-T cell therapy in B-ALL, the high rate of complete responses is sometimes limited by the emergence of CD19-negative leukemia. Bispecific CAR-modified T cells targeting both CD19 and CD22 may overcome the limitation of CD19...

| Shrnutí: | Background
Despite the impressive complete remission (CR) induced by CD19 CAR-T cell therapy in B-ALL, the high rate of complete responses is sometimes limited by the emergence of CD19-negative leukemia. Bispecific CAR-modified T cells targeting both CD19 and CD22 may overcome the limitation of CD19-negative relapse.
Methods
We here report the design of a bispecific CAR simultaneous targeting of CD19 and CD22. We performed a phase 1 trial of bispecific CAR T cell therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory precursor B-ALL at a dose that ranged from 1.7 × 10
6
to 3 × 10
6
CAR T cells per kilogram of body weight.
Results
We demonstrate bispecific CD19/CD22 CAR T cells could trigger robust cytolytic activity against target cells. MRD-negative CR was achieved in 6 out of 6 enrolled patients. Autologous CD19/CD22 CAR T cells proliferated in vivo and were detected in the blood, bone marrow, and cerebrospinal fluid. No neurotoxicity occurred in any of the 6 patients treated. Of note, one patient had a relapse with blast cells that no longer expressed CD19 and exhibited diminished CD22 site density approximately 5 months after treatment.
Conclusion
In brief, autologous CD19/CD22 CAR T cell therapy is feasible and safe and mediates potent anti-leukemic activity in patients with relapsed/refractory B-ALL. Furthermore, the emergence of target antigen loss and expression downregulation highlights the critical need to anticipate antigen escape. Our study demonstrates the reliability of bispecific CD19/CD22 CAR T cell therapy in inducing remission in adult patients with relapsed/refractory B-ALL.
