Rapid anti-myeloma activity by T cells expressing an anti-BCMA CAR with a human heavy-chain-only antigen-binding domain

Published by Elsevier Inc..

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a rarely curable malignancy of plasma cells. MM expresses B cell maturation antigen (BCMA). We developed a fully human anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) with a heavy-chain-only antigen-recognition domain, a 4-1BB domain, and a CD3ζ domain. The CAR was designated FHVH33-CD8BBZ. We conducted the first-in-humans clinical trial of T cells expressing FHVH33-CD8BBZ (FHVH-T). Twenty-five patients with relapsed MM were treated. The stringent complete response rate (sCR) was 52%. Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 78 weeks. Of 24 evaluable patients, 6 (25%) had a maximum cytokine-release syndrome (CRS) grade of 3; no patients had CRS of greater than grade 3. Most anti-MM activity occurred within 2-4 weeks of FHVH-T infusion as shown by decreases in the rapidly changing MM markers serum free light chains, urine light chains, and bone marrow plasma cells. Blood CAR+ cell levels peaked during the time that MM elimination was occurring, between 7 and 15 days after FHVH-T infusion. C-C chemokine receptor type 7 (CCR7) expression on infusion CD4+ FHVH-T correlated with peak blood FHVH-T levels. Single-cell RNA sequencing revealed a shift toward more differentiated FHVH-T after infusion. Anti-CAR antibody responses were detected in 4 of 12 patients assessed. FHVH-T has powerful, rapid, and durable anti-MM activity.
