AI Article Synopsis
- A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted on dual-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy to assess its effectiveness and safety for treating B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
- The study included data from 15 clinical trials, revealing a high objective response rate of 77% in B-NHL and a 92% complete response rate in B-ALL patients.
- While the therapy showed promising results, it also reported some adverse effects like cytokine release syndrome and neurotoxicity, indicating the need for further randomized controlled trials to better understand its role in treating B cell malignancies.
Article Abstract
Dual-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has been proposed as a potential solution for overcoming antigen escape during anti-CD19 CAR-T treatment. We performed this systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of this novel treatment in patients with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) and B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL). We systematically searched relevant literature based on databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane) and conference abstracts. The primary outcomes measured were the best objective response rate (ORR) or complete response (CR), 12-month overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and neurotoxicity. Fifteen registered prospective open-label clinical trials were included. Among the 260 patients with B-NHL, the pooled best ORR and CR were 77% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.71-0.82) and 52% (95% CI: 0.40-0.63), respectively, and the pooled 12-month PFS and OS were 54.0% (95% CI: 0.47-0.61) and 66.0% (95% CI: 0.56-0.77), respectively. In the 159 patients with B-ALL, the combined best CR was observed to be 92% (95% CI: 0.82-0.99) and the pooled 12-month PFS and OS were 65.0% (95% CI: 0.51-0.77) and 73.0% (95% CI: 0.56-0.92), respectively. Moreover, in B-NHL patients, grade ≥3 CRS was observed in 14.0% (95% CI: 0.04-0.29) of these patients, and 5.0% (95% CI: 0.02-0.08) showed grade ≥3 neurotoxicity; in the case of B-ALL patients, grade ≥3 CRS and neurotoxicity occurred in 11.0% (95% CI: 0.04-0.19) and 2.0% (95% CI: 0.00-0.06), respectively. This study demonstrates the safety and clinical efficacy of dual-targeting CAR-T cell therapies in B cell malignancies. Further, well-designed randomized controlled trials are required to establish the role of dual-targeting CAR-T cell therapy in patients with B cell malignancies.

In the past decades, Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has achieved remarkable success, leading to the approval of six therapeutic products for haematological malignancies. Recently, the therapeutic potential of this therapy has also been demonstrated in non-tumoral diseases. Currently, the manufacturing process to produce clinical-grade CAR-T cells is complex, time-consuming, and highly expensive.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has transformed the treatment landscape for hematological cancers. However, achieving comparable success in solid tumors remains challenging. Factors contributing to these limitations include the scarcity of tumor-specific antigens (TSAs), insufficient CAR-T cell infiltration, and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME).

Retroviral gene transfer is the preferred method for stable, long-term integration of genetic material into cellular genomes, commonly used to generate chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells designed to target tumor antigens. However, the efficiency of retroviral gene transfer is often limited by low transduction rates due to low vector titers and electrostatic repulsion between viral particles and cellular membranes. To overcome these limitations, peptide nanofibrils (PNFs) can be applied as transduction enhancers.
