Abstract The progression of multiple myeloma (MM), a hematologic malignancy characterized by unregulated plasma cell growth, is associated with increasing innate and adaptive immune system dysfunction, notably in the T-cell repertoire. Although treatment advances in MM have led to deeper and more durable clinical responses, the disease remains incurable for most patients. Therapeutic strategies aimed at overcoming the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and activating the host immune system have recently shown promise in MM, particularly in the relapsed and/or refractory disease setting. As the efficacy of T-cell–dependent immuno-oncology therapy is likely affected by the health of the endogenous T-cell repertoire, these therapies may also provide benefit in alternate treatment settings (e.g., precursor disease; after stem cell transplantation). This review describes T-cell–associated changes during the evolution of MM and provides an overview of T-cell–dependent immuno-oncology approaches under investigation. Vaccine and checkpoint inhibitor interventions are being explored across the MM disease continuum; treatment modalities that redirect patient T cells to elicit an anti-MM response, namely chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells and bispecific antibodies (including BiTE® [bispecific T- cell engager] molecules), have been primarily evaluated to date in the relapsed and/or refractory disease setting. CAR T cells and bispecific antibodies/antibody constructs directed against B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) have generated excitement, with clinical data demonstrating deep responses.

Introduction Multiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal, multistep, plasma cell malignancy (1, 2). MM often begins with premalignant monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), followed by asymptomatic smoldering MM (SMM), and active MM (3). As the disease advances, the immune system demonstrates progressive impairment (4, 5). The introduction of immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs), proteasome inhibitors (PIs), and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has improved patient outcomes, partially exerting anti-MM activity through immunomodulation (6). Nevertheless, MM remains incurable, becoming more aggressive with poor outcomes when treatment refractoriness occurs (7). The role of T-cell dysfunction in MM and the success of T-cell–directed therapy in other malignancies warrant investigation of treatments enhancing T-cell anti-MM activity (8). This review discusses the role of T cells and T-cell–directed therapies across the MM disease continuum. Evolution of T-cell Immunity in MM Disease Progression Reduced T-cell immunity has been associated with MM disease progression (Figure 1). However, even in patients with MGUS, increased levels of immunosuppressive regulatory T cells (Tregs) (9) and T-cell exhaustion (10) have been reported. An immune profiling study found that T cells from patients with SMM had an aberrant phenotypic profile, including reduced expression of activation markers, compared with those from age-matched healthy controls (5). Early changes in the T-cell population, including the presence of antigen-specific immunity and an enrichment of 5 Downloaded from clincancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 23, 2021. © 2019 American Association for Cancer Research.

Progression to MM has been associated with further immune dysfunction due to an altered T-cell repertoire, with features of terminally differentiated T cells and loss of antigen-specific T-cell function (Figure 1). In MM, loss of stem-like/TRM T cells (10) as well as increases in Tregs (9, 13), and pro-inflammatory Th17 cells (9, 14, 15) have been observed. These changes may have implications for T cell-directed therapy. For example, loss of stem-like/TRM T cells may affect the durability of T-cell redirection or responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitors (CPIs). In a study comparing T-cell function in patients with MGUS versus MM, T cells from patients with MM were unable to mount responses to tumor cells (16). This was in contrast to T cells from patients with MGUS, which retained ex vivo anti-tumor activity (16). Taken together, these observations indicate that T cells in MM lose the ability to naturally control tumor progression (16). Several mechanisms for MM-associated reductions in T-cell immunity/responsiveness have been proposed, including T-cell exhaustion, anergy, and/or senescence (17). Reduced T-cell recognition of MM may also be due to ineffective antigen processing/presentation in vivo by tumor cells or dendritic cells (DCs) (18-20). In one study, T cells from MM tumor beds were found to elicit strong, MM- specific cytolytic responses only after ex vivo stimulation with autologous DCs (21). This suggests that endogenous T cells from patients with MM can be activated to mount an antitumor response (21, 22). 6 Downloaded from clincancerres.aacrjournals.org on September 23, 2021. © 2019 American Association for Cancer Research.

T-cell–Dependent Immuno-Oncology Therapies in MM Understanding the mechanisms affecting T-cell immunity provides opportunities for therapy development. Here, we discuss developments in T-cell–dependent immuno- oncology therapies in MM, including vaccines, CPIs, cellular therapies, and bispecific antibodies (bsAbs)/antibody constructs. MAbs (e.g., daratumumab, elotuzumab, and antibody drug conjugates) and NK cell-based therapies in MM have been recently reviewed (23, 24) and are beyond the scope of this review.

  • Predictive QSAR Tools to Aid in Early Process Development of Monoclonal Antibodies
    Predictive QSAR tools to aid in early process development of monoclonal antibodies John Micael Andreas Karlberg Published work submitted to Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Engineering November 2019 Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become one of the fastest growing markets for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments over the last 30 years with a global sales revenue around $89 billion reported in 2017. A popular framework widely used in pharmaceutical industries for designing manufacturing processes for mAbs is Quality by Design (QbD) due to providing a structured and systematic approach in investigation and screening process parameters that might influence the product quality. However, due to the large number of product quality attributes (CQAs) and process parameters that exist in an mAb process platform, extensive investigation is needed to characterise their impact on the product quality which makes the process development costly and time consuming. There is thus an urgent need for methods and tools that can be used for early risk-based selection of critical product properties and process factors to reduce the number of potential factors that have to be investigated, thereby aiding in speeding up the process development and reduce costs. In this study, a framework for predictive model development based on Quantitative Structure- Activity Relationship (QSAR) modelling was developed to link structural features and properties of mAbs to Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) retention times and expressed mAb yield from HEK cells. Model development was based on a structured approach for incremental model refinement and evaluation that aided in increasing model performance until becoming acceptable in accordance to the OECD guidelines for QSAR models.

Checkpoint inhibitors class of immunotherapeutic drugs for treating patients with Drug class (trade name, manufacturer) advanced cancer. Known as checkpoint inhibitors, these drugs act to upregulate the cellular and humoral immune response Anti-CTLA-4 to tumor antigens by inhibiting T-cell autoregulation. As a Ipilimumab (Yervoy, Bristol-Myers Squibb) consequence, they can be associated with immune-related adverse Tremelimumab (AstraZeneca, compassionate use only) events (irAEs) due to loss of self-tolerance, including rare cases of immune-related cytopenias. We performed a retrospective Anti-PD-1 clinical chart review, including serologic, hematology, and Nivolumab (Opdivo, Bristol-Myers Squibb) chemistry laboratory results, of two patients who developed Pembrolizumab (Keytruda, Merck Sharp & Dohme) red blood cell (RBC) autoantibodies during treatment with a Pidilizumab (Medivations, in clinical trials) checkpoint inhibitor. Serologic testing of blood samples from these patients during induction therapy with ipilimumab and Anti-PD-L1 nivolumab, respectively, showed their RBCs to be positive by Atezolizumab (Genentech, in clinical trials) the direct antiglobulin test (IgG+, C3+) and their plasma to Durvalumab (AstraZeneca, approved bladder cancer) contain panreactive RBC autoantibodies. Neither patient had evidence of hemolysis.

These cells express programmed cell-death protein 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1)/PD-L2, which bind to the programmed cell-death protein 1 (PD-1) present on cytotoxic T cells, trigger inhibitory signaling, and reduce cytotoxicity and T-cell exhaustion. Immune-checkpoint blockade can inhibit this signal and may serve as an effective therapeutic strategy in patients with solid tumors. Several trials have been conducted on immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy in patients with malignant lymphoma and their efficacy has been reported. For example, in Hodgkin lymphoma, immune-checkpoint blockade has resulted in response rates of 65% to 75%. However, in non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the response rate to immune-checkpoint blockade was lower. In this review, we evaluate the biology of immune-checkpoint inhibition and the current data on its efficacy in malignant lymphoma, and identify the cases in which the treatment was more effective.
