Recent Findings Tisagenlecleucel was the first CAR-T therapy and the first gene therapy to receive US Food and Drug Administration approval in 2017, with an initial indication for pediatric and young adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) acute lymphoblastic leukemia, followed by approval in May 2018 for a second indication in adult patients with r/r diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Subsequent approvals in the European Union, Switzerland, and Canada soon followed. Summary The tisagenlecleucel success story represents the development and commercialization of a first-of-its-kind personal- ized cellular therapy with a manufacturing process that supports commercial production and ongoing global clinical trials in a growing number of countries.

  • Cancer Immunotherapy Comes of Age and Looks for Maturity ✉ Amanda Finck1, Saar I
    COMMENT https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17140-5 OPEN Cancer immunotherapy comes of age and looks for maturity ✉ Amanda Finck1, Saar I. Gill1 & Carl H. June 1,2 As Nature Communications celebrates a 10-year anniversary, the field has witnessed the transition of cancer immunotherapy from a pipe dream to an established powerful cancer treatment modality. Here we discuss the opportu- 1234567890():,; nities and challenges for the future. Improving the natural immune system through immune checkpoint blockade interference Advances in the understanding of basic immunology have ushered in two major approaches for cancer therapy over the past 10 years. The first is checkpoint therapy to augment the function of the natural immune system. The second uses the emerging discipline of synthetic biology and the tools of molecular biology and genome engineering to create new forms of biological structures, engineered viruses and cells with enhanced functionalities (Fig. 1). Trastuzumab, the monoclonal antibody targeting HER2, was the first recombinant antibody to be commercially approved, in 1997. However, over the past 10 years, a paradigm shift in cancer therapy occurred with the addition of inhibitors of the immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), CTLA-4 and PD-1, to the clinics. The first to be approved was the anti-CTLA-4 inhibitor ipilimumab for metastatic melanoma in 2011. More than a dozen types of cancer are now treated with ICBs. Perhaps most surprising to the field is that lung cancer can now be treated with PD-1 (CD279) and CTLA-4 (CD152) antagonists as a component of first line therapy. 10 years ago, the consensus among thoracic oncologists was that the solution for lung cancer was inhibitors of oncogene-driven signaling pathways and the field had dismissed the notion that lung cancer would be an immunologically responsive tumor.

  • Lentiviral Vectors for T Cell Engineering: Clinical Applications, Bioprocessing and Future Perspectives

Rafiq 1 1 Advanced Centre for Biochemical Engineering, Department of Biochemical Engineering, University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E 6BT, UK; q.rafi[email protected] 2 Division of Biotherapeutics, National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC), Blanche Lane, Potters Bar, South Mimms EN6 3QG, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Lentiviral vectors have played a critical role in the emergence of gene-modified cell thera- pies, specifically T cell therapies. Tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah), axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta) and most recently brexucabtagene autoleucel (Tecartus) are examples of T cell therapies which are now commercially available for distribution after successfully obtaining EMA and FDA approval for the treatment of blood cancers. All three therapies rely on retroviral vectors to transduce the therapeutic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) into T lymphocytes. Although these innovations represent promis- ing new therapeutic avenues, major obstacles remain in making them readily available tools for medical care. This article reviews the biological principles as well as the bioprocessing of lentiviral (LV) vectors and adoptive T cell therapy. Clinical and engineering successes, shortcomings and future opportunities are also discussed. The development of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)- compliant instruments, technologies and protocols will play an essential role in the development of LV-engineered T cell therapies.

  • Kymriah (Tisagenlecleucel)
    Kymriah (tisagenlecleucel) Policy Number: Current Effective Date: MM.02.036 August 1, 2019 Lines of Business: Original Effective Date: HMO; PPO; QUEST Integration June 1, 2018 Precertification: Place(s) of Service: Required, see section IV Inpatient I. Description The spontaneous regression of certain cancers (e.g., renal cell carcinoma, melanoma) supports the idea that a patient’s immune system can delay tumor progression and, on rare occasions, can eliminate tumors altogether. These observations have led to research into various immunologic therapies designed to stimulate a patient’s own immune system. Adoptive immunotherapy is a method of activating lymphocytes and/or other types of cells for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Cells are removed from the patient, processed for some period of time, and then infused back into the patient. Tisagenlecleucel For individuals who are 3 to 25 years of age with relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia who receive tisagenlecleucel, the evidence includes multiple single-arm prospective trials. Relevant outcomes are overall survival, disease-specific survival, quality of life, and treatment-related mortality and morbidity. The pivotal single-arm trials reported an 83% response rate (measured by complete response or complete remission with incomplete blood count) in heavily pretreated patients. All patients who achieved a complete remission or complete remission with incomplete blood count were also minimal residual disease- negative, which is predictive of survival in acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients. After a median follow-up of 4.8 months, the median duration of response was not reached. The observed benefits seen with tisagenlecleucel were offset by a high frequency and severity of adverse reactions.

It expresses Molina's determination as to whether certain services or supplies are medically necessary, experimental, investigational, or cosmetic for purposes of determining appropriateness of payment. The conclusion that a particular service or supply is medically necessary does not constitute a representation or warranty that this service or supply is covered (i.e., will be paid for by Molina) for a particular member. The member's benefit plan determines coverage. Each benefit plan defines which services are covered, which are excluded, and which are subject to dollar caps or other limits. Members and their providers will need to consult the member's benefit plan to determine if there are any exclusion(s) or other benefit limitations applicable to this service or supply. If there is a discrepancy between this policy and a member's plan of benefits, the benefits plan will govern. In addition, coverage may be mandated by applicable legal requirements of a State, the Federal government or CMS for Medicare and Medicaid members. CMS's Coverage Database can be found on the CMS website . The coverage directive(s) and criteria from an existing National Coverage Determination (NCD) or Local Coverage Determination (LCD) will supersede the contents of this Molina clinical policy document and provide the directive for all Medicare members.
