Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of cancer immunotherapy by employing inhibitory chimeric antigen receptors (iCARs) paired with activating chimeric antigen receptors (aCARs) for use in cancer treatment therapies.
- iCARs inhibitory chimeric antigen receptors
- aCARs activating chimeric antigen receptors
- TILs tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes
- CARs Gross and Eshhar, Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 56:59-83, (2016)
- TCRs T cell receptors
- CARs are produced synthetically from chimeric genes encoding an extracellular single- chain antibody variable fragment (scFv) fused through a flexible hinge and transmembrane domain to costimulatory domains and signaling components comprising immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs of CD3- ⁇ or FcR ⁇ chains capable of T cell activation.
- scFv extracellular single- chain antibody variable fragment
- signaling components comprising immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs of CD3- ⁇ or FcR ⁇ chains capable of T cell activation.
- CARs are being examined in dozens of clinical trials and have shown exceptionally high efficacy in B cell malignancies (Dotti et al., 2014; Gill and June, 263(1): 68-89 (2015)); Gross and Eshhar, Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 56:59-83, 2016).
- CAR-T cell therapy is determined, in large part, by its ability to discriminate between the tumor and healthy tissue.
- these previous CAR-based approaches require tuning the affinity of CAR scFv’s to selectively bind high antigen levels in tumors while minimizing recognition of lower antigen levels in healthy tissues.
- an iCAR possesses a signaling domain derived from an inhibitory receptor which can antagonize T cell activation, such as CTLA-4, PD-1, or NK inhibitory receptors.
- the present invention meets that need by providing either co-transduction of monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs, or bicistronic constructs comprising such iCARs and which find use in cancer treatment.

- the present invention provides bicistronic and co-administered monocistronic constructs specifically targeting tumor cells while keeping the normal cells protected.
- the constructs provided herein provide iCAR/aCAR constructs that target single allelic variants of polymorphic cell surface epitopes, which are lost from tumor cells due to loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the chromosomal region they reside in, while remaining expressed on normal tissue. Because of the polymorphic variation, the iCAR/aCAR pair is able to distinguish the two alleles and target only the tumor cells missing the target allele due to LOH. II.
- nucleic acid molecule refers to a DNA or RNA molecule.
- encoding refers to the inherent property of specific sequences of nucleotides in a polynucleotide, such as a gene, a cDNA, or an mRNA, to serve as templates for synthesis of other polymers and macromolecules in biological processes having either a defined sequence of nucleotides (e.g., rRNA, tRNA and mRNA) or a defined sequence of amino acids and the biological properties resulting therefrom.
- a gene encodes a protein if transcription and translation of mRNA corresponding to that gene produces the protein in a cell or other biological system.
- Both the coding strand, the nucleotide sequence of which is identical to the mRNA sequence and is usually provided in sequence listings, and the non-coding strand, used as the template for transcription of a gene or cDNA, can be referred to as encoding the protein or other product of that gene or cDNA.
- a “nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence” includes all nucleotide sequences that are degenerate versions of each other and that encode the same amino acid sequence. Nucleotide sequences that encode proteins and RNA may include introns.

- cancer as used herein is defined as disease characterized by the rapid and uncontrolled growth of aberrant cells. Cancer cells can spread locally or through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body.
- LOH being a genomic event, results in a total loss of a specific variant from the tumor with a very rare probability of gaining back the lost allele. If the LOH event occurs very early in the development of tumors, it ensures a uniform target signature in all tumor cells derived from the initial pre-malignant tissue including metastatic tumors.
- LOH occurs in almost all types of cancer and this concept can therefore be relied upon as a universal tool for developing markers relevant to all these cancer types. Since the LOH events are to some extent random, the present invention further provides for selection of personalized tumor markers for each individual cancer patient, based on the specific LOH events which took place in that patient.
- the tools relied upon to execute this concept, the aCARs and the iCARs, are well- known and can be easily prepared using methods well-known in the art as taught for example, in WO 2015/142314 and in US 9,745,368, both incorporated by reference as if fully disclosed herein.
- the two CARs in every given pair specifically recognize the product of a different allelic variant of the same target gene for which the patient is heterozygous.
- the basic principle is as follows: the aCAR targets an allelic variant of a selected cell surface protein that is expressed by the given tumor cells and is not affected by LOH while the iCAR targets the product encoded by the allelic variant of the same gene that has been lost from these tumor cells due to LOH.
- both alleles are present and are known to be equally functional, that is, expression is biallelic in all tissues (in contrast to other genes which may exhibit random monoallelic expression (Chess, 2012; Savova et al., 2016).
- the two CARs target two related epitopes residing at the same location on the protein product, which differ by one, or only few amino acids.
- the aCAR targets a non-polymorphic epitope on the same protein while the iCAR is allele-specific.
- the density of the aCAR epitope on normal cells would generally be two-fold higher than that of the iCAR one.
- a single nucleic acid vector encodes both the aCAR and iCAR, as exemplified with the bicistronic constructs described herein.
- the aCAR and iCAR are encoded by separate nucleic acid vectors and co-expressed.
- the present invention provides novel bicistronic iCAR/aCAR constructs that function in this manner, as well as methods for co-transduction of monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs.
- the bicistronic constructs of the present invention comprise the following components: an iCAR and aCAR connected via a linker domain.
- the iCAR (protective) portion comprises an iCAR scFv, a hinge transmembrane (TM) domain, and inhibitory domain.

- sequence identity can include the identity/similarity between two or more nucleic acid sequences, or two or more amino acid sequences, is expressed in terms of the identity or similarity between the sequences. Sequence identity can be measured in terms of percentage identity; the higher the percentage, the more identical the sequences are. Sequence similarity can be measured in terms of percentage similarity (which takes into account conservative amino acid substitutions); the higher the percentage, the more similar the sequences are. Homologs or orthologs of nucleic acid or amino acid sequences possess a relatively high degree of sequence identity/similarity when aligned using standard methods. Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well known in the art.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention relates to the field of cancer immunotherapy by employing inhibitory chimeric antigen receptors (iCARs) paired with activating chimeric antigen receptors (aCARs) for use in cancer treatment therapies. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] The identification of targetable antigens that are exclusively expressed by tumor cells but not by healthy tissue is undoubtedly the major challenge in cancer immunotherapy today. Clinical evidence that T cells are capable of eradicating tumor cells comes from numerous studies evaluating highly diverse approaches for harnessing T cells to treat cancer (Rosenberg and Restifo, Science, 348(6230): 62-68 (2015)). These approaches employ bone marrow transplantation with donor lymphocyte infusion, adoptive transfer of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), treatment with T cells genetically redirected at pre-selected antigens via CARs (Gross and Eshhar, Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 56:59-83, (2016)) or T cell receptors (TCRs), the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors, BiTEs (bispecific T-cell engager molecules) technologies; Einsele, H., et al., Cancer, 126(14):3192-3201 (2020)), or active vaccination. Of these, the use of genetically engineered T cells and different strategies for active immunization entail pre-existing information on candidate antigens which are likely to exert a durable clinical response but minimal adverse effects. Yet, as stated in the title of a review by S. Rosenberg, “Finding suitable targets is the major obstacle to cancer gene therapy” (Rosenberg, Cancer Gene Therapy, 21:45–47 (2014))). [0004] The concept of using chimeric antigen receptors (or CARs) to genetically redirect T cells (or other killer cells of the immune system such as natural killer (NK) cells and cytokine- induced killer cells) against antigens of choice in an MHC-independent manner was first introduced by Gross and Eshhar in the late 1980s (Gross et al., PNAS, 86(24):10024-1002 (1989). They are produced synthetically from chimeric genes encoding an extracellular single-
chain antibody variable fragment (scFv) fused through a flexible hinge and transmembrane domain to costimulatory domains and signaling components comprising immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs of CD3-ζ or FcRγ chains capable of T cell activation. At present, CARs are being examined in dozens of clinical trials and have shown exceptionally high efficacy in B cell malignancies (Dotti et al., 2014; Gill and June, 263(1): 68-89 (2015)); Gross and Eshhar, Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 56:59-83, 2016). The safety of CAR-T cell therapy is determined, in large part, by its ability to discriminate between the tumor and healthy tissue. A major risk in targeting solid tumors, and the direct cause for adverse autoimmune effects that have been reported in clinical and preclinical studies, is off- tumor, on-target toxicity resulting from extra-tumor expression of the target antigen (dealt with in detail in the review (Gross and Eshhar, 2016b) and (Klebanoff, et al., Nature Medicine 22:26–36 (2016)). [0005] While undoubtedly intriguing, these previous CAR-based approaches require tuning the affinity of CAR scFv’s to selectively bind high antigen levels in tumors while minimizing recognition of lower antigen levels in healthy tissues. In addition, the magnitude of both the activating and costimulatory signals needs to be balanced to allow effective on-target, on-tumor T cell reactivity. It is worth noting that in B cell malignancies, CARs targeted antigen exclusive to B cells and did not require titration of affinity or T cell signaling. For solid tumors, whether such balance can be routinely attained in the clinical setting is questionable. [0006] Off-tumor reactivity occurs when the tumor antigen targeted by CAR-redirected killer cells is shared with normal tissue. However, if the normal tissue expresses another surface antigen that is not present on the tumor, it can be targeted by inhibitory CARs (iCARs) that contains an inhibitory signaling moiety which when engaged prevents T-cell activation by the activating CAR (aCAR). Co-expression of aCAR and iCAR will therefore direct killer cells to target tumors while sparing normal tissue. [0007] Instead of an activating domain (such as FcRγ or CD3-ζ), an iCAR possesses a signaling domain derived from an inhibitory receptor which can antagonize T cell activation, such as CTLA-4, PD-1, or NK inhibitory receptors. [0008] There remains a need in the art for cancer therapies, in particular therapies that comprise iCARs in order to limit off-target effects. The present invention meets that need by providing either co-transduction of monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs, or bicistronic constructs comprising such iCARs and which find use in cancer treatment.

[0335] Fig. 4A-B shows results of killing (efficacy) and protection analysis of bicistronic candidates VR033, VR428, VR443, VR447, and VR449. The results demonstrated that constructs comprising an SN66E3 iCAR scFv performed better than constructs comprising an HzBB7.2 iCAR scFv. [0336] Fig. 5A-B shows results of killing (efficacy) and protection analysis of bicistronic candidates comprising an IRES linker (VR443, VR447, and VR449) compared to those comprising a T2A linker (VR515, VR516, and VR517). The results demonstrate that VR447 (IRES) and VR516 (T2A) performed similarly, VR449 (IRES) and VR517 (T2A) performed similarly, and VR443(IRES) protected better than VR515 (T2A), where efficacy was similar. [0337] Fig.6 shows IncuCyte images obtained form analysis of bicistronic candidates VR492, VR443, and VR515. The results show that VR443 demonstrated protection in the presence of two separate spheres, no protection was observed in the admix sphere, and VR492 with a mutated iDomain showed no protection indicating protection is driven by the iDomain. [0338] Fig. 7 shows IncuCyte spheroid analysis of killing (efficacy) of bicistronic candidates VR492, VR443, VR515, VR516, VR517, VR515 (CD4+ enriched), and VR443 (thawed). The results demonstrate that thawed VR443 did not kill the spheres very well; VR515 (CD4+ enriched) had lower efficacy compared to VR515 that was untouched; and that the efficacy was lower in spheroid mix as compared to the admix. [0339] Fig.8 shows IncuCyte spheroid analysis of protection of bicistronic candidates VR492, VR443, VR515, VR516, VR517, VR515 (CD4+ enriched), and VR443 (thawed). The results
demonstrate that killing was observed for all bicistronic constructs in the admix; protection of IRES 443 was similar to that of T2A VR515 (CD4+ enriched) in the spheroid mix. The protection ranking was as follows for WT only: VR492< VR515< VR443, VR516, VR517 < VR515 CD4+. The protection ranking was as follows for the admix: VR492, VR515, VR516, VR517, VR443 < VR515 CD4+ < VR443 thawed. The protection ranking was as follows for the spheroid mix: VR492< VR515< VR516, VR517< VR443 < VR515 CD4+ , VR443. [0340] Fig. 9A-B shows results of killing (efficacy) and protection analysis of bicistronic candidates comprising different hinge transmembrane (HTM) domains (VR33, VR421, VR518, VR506, VR507, and VR508). The results demonstrated that constructs comprising the IgG4(22) hinge performed slightly better than those comprising the LIR1(52) hinge; the performance ranking was as follows for IgG4 hinge lengths: 22>28>18; and the VR518 (tagged VR428) construct did not protect. [0341] Fig. 10A-B shows results of downregulation of iCAR/aCAR constructs VR033, VR421, VR506, VR507, VR508, and VR518. The results demonstrate that there was strong iCAR downregulation in all samples, and weak aCAR downregulation. [0342] Fig.11 shows IncuCyte Annexin analysis of killing (efficacy) of bicistronic candidates VR33, VR421 (LIR1(52)), VR506 (IgG4(28)), VR507 (IgG4(22)), VR508 (IgG4(18)), and VR518 (VR428 cMyc). The results demonstrate that alloreactivity was not seen in IncuCyte; IgG4(22 or 28) hinge was similar to LIR1(52); IgG4(18) did not protect; and VR518 (tagged VR428) protected to background.

[0352] Fig.21 show scheme of the in-vivo process. [0353] Fig.22A-22B shows lentiviral vector constructs. The HLA-A*02 iCAR consists of an scFv that binds a polymorphic sequence in the extracellular domain of a cell-surface target joined by an HTM (hinge transmembrane region to cytoplasmic signaling domain (iDomain) designed to inhibit T-cell activation and killing. The HLA-A*02 iCAR is paired with a potent second generation aCAR targeting the HER2 receptor tyrosine kinase. The iCAR is positioned upstream of the aCAR linked by a T2A or IRES linker in a bicistronic lentiviral vector. A bicistronic lentiviral screen using cytoplasmic regions of a diverse immunoregulatory genes identified the LIR1 iDomain as one effective negative regulator of aCAR activation and killing (AACR Abstract 2848). A high-potency HER2 aCAR with single input clinical data (22A, bottom diagram). A LIR1 iDomain offers greatest tumor selectivity. High iCAR/aCAR expression ratio enhances protection. [0354] Fig.23 shows HLA-A and HER2 (target) expression profiles. (a) The expression level (median, 25% percentile, 75% percentile) of HLA-A and HER2 in Normal (GTEX), tumor (TGCA) and cancer cell lines (CCLE) as determined RNAseq were analyzed to identify an aCAR target partner for the HLA-A2 iCAR. The expression of HLA-A*02 and HER2 was found to overlap at a relatively consist ratio in the majority of cell lines and tissue types except blood. (b) Quantitative FACS analysis of selected cancer cell lines using Quantum beads. [0355] Fig. 24A-24B shows aCAR engagement alone activates and kills and dual aCAR + iCAR engagement inhibits activation & killingIn Vitro validation of the iCAR platform.

Loss of chromosomal material is characteristic of all cancers and creates a unique antigen repertoire on the cell surface. ImmPACT’sCAR-T cells incorporate an iCARreceptor targeting an antigen lost due to LOH together with an aCAR. Cancer cells that underwent LOH are susceptible to killing due to the loss of the iCARantigen. Normal cells are protected against CAR-T cell killing by iCARantigen engagement. [0367] Fig. 36 shows iDomain screen. A representative screen of human immune response genes encoding ITIM motifs was conducted to identify iDomainsthat can inhibit CAR-T
activation and killing in the context of a DualCAR.

INTRODUCTION [0372] The present invention provides bicistronic and co-administered monocistronic constructs specifically targeting tumor cells while keeping the normal cells protected. The constructs provided herein provide iCAR/aCAR constructs that target single allelic variants of polymorphic cell surface epitopes, which are lost from tumor cells due to loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the chromosomal region they reside in, while remaining expressed on normal tissue. Because of the polymorphic variation, the iCAR/aCAR pair is able to distinguish the two alleles and target only the tumor cells missing the target allele due to LOH. II. SELECT DEFINITIONS [0373] The term “nucleic acid molecule” as used herein refers to a DNA or RNA molecule.
[0374] The term encoding refers to the inherent property of specific sequences of nucleotides in a polynucleotide, such as a gene, a cDNA, or an mRNA, to serve as templates for synthesis of other polymers and macromolecules in biological processes having either a defined sequence of nucleotides (e.g., rRNA, tRNA and mRNA) or a defined sequence of amino acids and the biological properties resulting therefrom. Thus, a gene encodes a protein if transcription and translation of mRNA corresponding to that gene produces the protein in a cell or other biological system. Both the coding strand, the nucleotide sequence of which is identical to the mRNA sequence and is usually provided in sequence listings, and the non-coding strand, used as the template for transcription of a gene or cDNA, can be referred to as encoding the protein or other product of that gene or cDNA. [0375] Unless otherwise specified, a “nucleotide sequence encoding an amino acid sequence” includes all nucleotide sequences that are degenerate versions of each other and that encode the same amino acid sequence. Nucleotide sequences that encode proteins and RNA may include introns. [0376] The term “endogenous” refers to any material from or produced inside an organism, cell, tissue or system. [0377] The term “exogenous” refers to any material introduced from or produced outside an organism, cell, tissue or system. [0378] The term “expression” as used herein is defined as the transcription and/or translation of a particular nucleotide sequence driven by its promoter. [0379] “Expression vector” refers to a vector comprising a recombinant polynucleotide comprising expression control sequences operatively linked to a nucleotide sequence to be expressed. An expression vector comprises sufficient cis-acting elements for expression; other elements for expression can be supplied by the host cell or in an in vitro expression system. Expression vectors include all those known in the art, such as cosmids, plasmids (e.g., naked or contained in liposomes) and viruses (e.g., lentiviruses, retroviruses, adenoviruses, and adeno-associated viruses) that incorporate the recombinant polynucleotide. [0380] The term “genomic variant” as used herein refers to a change of at least one nucleotide at the genomic level in a sequenced sample compared to the reference or consensus sequence at the same genomic position. [0381] The term “corresponding reference allele” as used herein with reference to a variant means the reference or consensus sequence or nucleotide at the same genomic position as the variant.
[0382] The term extracellular domain as used herein with reference to a protein means a region of the protein which is outside of the cell membrane. [0383] The term “loss of heterozygosity” or “LOH” as used herein means the loss of chromosomal materials such as a complete chromosome or a part thereof, in one copy of the two chromosomes in a somatic cell. [0384] The term “sequence region” as used herein with reference to a variant or a reference allele means a sequence starting upstream and ending downstream from the position of the variant, which can be translated into an “epitope peptide” that can be recognized by an antibody. [0385] The term “CAR”, as that term is used herein, refers to a chimeric polypeptide that shares structural and functional properties with a cell immune-function receptor or adaptor molecule, from e.g., a T cell or a NK cell. CARs include TCARs and NKR-CARs. Upon binding to cognate antigen, a CAR can activate or inactivate the cytotoxic cell in which it is disposed, or modulate the cell's antitumor activity or otherwise modulate the cells immune response. [0386] The term “specific binding” as used herein in the context of an extracellular domain, such as an scFv, that specifically binds to a single allelic variant of a polymorphic cell surface epitope, refers to the relative binding of the scFv to one allelic variant and its failure to bind to the corresponding different allelic variant of the same polymorphic cell surface epitope. Since this depends on the avidity (number of CAR copies on the T cell, number of antigen molecules on the surface of target cells (or cells to be protected) and the affinity of the specific CARs used, a functional definition would be that the specific scFv would provide a significant signal in an ELISA against the single allelic variant of a polymorphic cell surface epitope to which it is specific or cells transfected with a CAR displaying the scFv would be clearly labeled with the single allelic variant of a polymorphic cell surface epitope in a FACS assay, while the same assays using the corresponding different allelic variant of the same polymorphic cell surface epitope would not give any detectable signal. [0387] The term “treating” as used herein refers to means of obtaining a desired physiological effect. The effect may be therapeutic in terms of partially or completely curing a disease and/or symptoms attributed to the disease. The term refers to inhibiting the disease, e.g., arresting its development; or ameliorating the disease, e.g., causing regression of the disease. [0388] As used herein, the terms “subject” or “individual” or “animal” or “patient” or “mammal,” refers to any subject, particularly a mammalian subject, for whom diagnosis, prognosis, or therapy is desired, for example, a human.
[0389] The phrase safe effector immune cell or safe effector cell includes those cells described by the invention that express at least one bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct, or portion thereof, as described herein, or exhibit co-expression of monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs. In some embodiments, the “safe effector immune cell” or “safe effector cell” is capable of administration to a subject. In some embodiments, the “safe effector immune cell” or “safe effector cell” further expresses at least one bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct, or portion thereof, or exhibit co-expression of monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs, as described herein. [0390] Pharmaceutical compositions for use in accordance with the present invention may be formulated in conventional manner using one or more physiologically acceptable carriers or excipients. The carrier(s) must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the composition and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. [0391] The phrase “effective amount” or “therapeutically effective amount” are used interchangeably herein, and refer to an amount of a compound, formulation, material, or composition, as described herein effective to achieve a particular biological result. [0392] The term “peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)” as used herein refers to any blood cell having a round nucleus, such as a lymphocyte, or a monocyte. Methods for isolating PBMCs from blood are readily apparent to those skilled in the art. A non-limiting example is the extraction of these cells from whole blood using ficoll, a hydrophilic polysaccharide that separates layers of blood, with monocytes and lymphocytes forming a buffy coat under a layer of plasma or by leukapheresis, the preparation of leukocyte concentrates with the return of red cells and leukocyte-poor plasma to the donor. [0393] The term “cancer” as used herein is defined as disease characterized by the rapid and uncontrolled growth of aberrant cells. Cancer cells can spread locally or through the bloodstream and lymphatic system to other parts of the body. Examples of various cancers include but are not limited to, breast cancer, prostate cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, skin cancer, pancreatic cancer, colorectal cancer, renal cancer, liver cancer, brain cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, lung cancer, glioma, and the like. III. CAR-T SYSTEM: iCARs and aCARs [0394] LOH, being a genomic event, results in a total loss of a specific variant from the tumor with a very rare probability of gaining back the lost allele. If the LOH event occurs very early in the development of tumors, it ensures a uniform target signature in all tumor cells derived from the initial pre-malignant tissue including metastatic tumors. Additionally, LOH occurs in almost all types of cancer and this concept can therefore be relied upon as a universal tool for
developing markers relevant to all these cancer types. Since the LOH events are to some extent random, the present invention further provides for selection of personalized tumor markers for each individual cancer patient, based on the specific LOH events which took place in that patient. The tools relied upon to execute this concept, the aCARs and the iCARs, are well- known and can be easily prepared using methods well-known in the art as taught for example, in WO 2015/142314 and in US 9,745,368, both incorporated by reference as if fully disclosed herein. [0395] According to one strategy, the two CARs in every given pair specifically recognize the product of a different allelic variant of the same target gene for which the patient is heterozygous. The basic principle is as follows: the aCAR targets an allelic variant of a selected cell surface protein that is expressed by the given tumor cells and is not affected by LOH while the iCAR targets the product encoded by the allelic variant of the same gene that has been lost from these tumor cells due to LOH. In other normal tissues of that individual patient that express the said gene, both alleles are present and are known to be equally functional, that is, expression is biallelic in all tissues (in contrast to other genes which may exhibit random monoallelic expression (Chess, 2012; Savova et al., 2016). In one scenario, the two CARs target two related epitopes residing at the same location on the protein product, which differ by one, or only few amino acids. In another scenario, the aCAR targets a non-polymorphic epitope on the same protein while the iCAR is allele-specific. In these embodiments, the density of the aCAR epitope on normal cells would generally be two-fold higher than that of the iCAR one. In some embodiments, a single nucleic acid vector encodes both the aCAR and iCAR, as exemplified with the bicistronic constructs described herein. In some embodiments, the aCAR and iCAR are encoded by separate nucleic acid vectors and co-expressed. [0396] Care must be taken to ensure that the inhibitory signal transmitted by the iCAR is dominant over the aCAR signal and that cross-recognition between the iCAR and the aCAR is limited and/or negligible. Dominance of the iCAR guarantees that activation of the killer cell upon encounter with normal cells expressing both alleles would be prevented. This default brake would not operate upon engagement with tumor cells: in the absence of its target antigen the iCAR would not deliver inhibitory signals, thus unleashing the anticipated aCAR-mediated cellular activation and subsequent tumor cell lysis. Dominance of the iCARs over their aCARs counterparts is a significant portion of how the system functions. The present invention provides novel bicistronic iCAR/aCAR constructs that function in this manner, as well as methods for co-transduction of monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs.
[0397] The bicistronic constructs of the present invention comprise the following components: an iCAR and aCAR connected via a linker domain. In some embodiments, the iCAR (protective) portion comprises an iCAR scFv, a hinge transmembrane (TM) domain, and inhibitory domain. In some embodiments, the aCAR (efficacy) portion comprises an aCAR scFv, a hinge transmembrane (TM) domain, a co-stimulatory domain, and a CD3 zeta domain. i.

15. Monocistronic constructs [0486] In some embodiments, the iCAR and aCAR constructs are expressed by separate vectors, and the iCAR/aCAR pairs are co-expressed in cells. Methods of co-expressing multiple constructs in the same cell are well known in the art and include, e.g., co-transfection of two or more expression vectors, integration of the constructs into the same or different loci within a cell, optionally followed by enrichment for co-expression. iii. CAR-T BICISTRONIC iCAR/aCAR VECTOR CONSTRUCTION [0487] In some embodiments, the bicistronic construct or co-transduction of monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs allows for the iCAR and the aCAR to be encoded by a single nucleic acid vector. In some embodiments, the present invention provides a vector comprising a nucleic acid molecule of the invention as defined in any one of the above embodiments, and at least one control element, such as a promoter, operably linked to the nucleic acid molecule. [0488] In some embodiments, the vector is a lentiviral (LV) vector. In some embodiments, the LV vector is a commercially available LV vector. In some embodiments, the LV vector includes but is not limited to pLenti, pLVX-Puro, pLVX-IRES-Puro/Neo/Hygro, pLVx-EF1a- IRES (TAKARA), and/or pcLV-EF1a (Sirion). In some embodiments, the LV vector is pLVX- Puro. In some embodiments, the LV vector is pLVX-IRES-Puro/Neo/Hygro. In some
embodiments, the LV vector is pLVx-EF1a-IRES (TAKARA). In some embodiments, the LV vector is pcLV-EF1a (Sirion). [0489] In some embodiments, the vector comprises an EF1 promoter. In some embodiments, the vector comprises a CMV promoter. In some embodiments, the vector comprises a PGK promoter. [0490] In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence of the vector comprises an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) between the nucleotide sequence encoding for the aCAR and the nucleotide sequence encoding for the iCAR. In general, the nucleotide sequence encoding for the aCAR and the nucleotide sequence encoding for the iCAR can be in any sequential order, but in particular embodiments, the nucleotide sequence encoding for the aCAR is downstream of the nucleotide sequence encoding for the iCAR. [0491] In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequences encoding for the aCAR and the iCAR are encoded on a single vector. In some embodiments, the vector comprises an internal ribosome entry site (IRES) between the nucleotide sequence encoding for the aCAR and the nucleotide sequence encoding for the iCAR. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence encoding for the aCAR is downstream of the nucleotide sequence encoding for the iCAR. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence comprises a viral self-cleaving 2A peptide located between the nucleotide sequence encoding for the aCAR and the nucleotide sequence encoding for the iCAR. In some embodiments, the nucleotide sequence of the vector comprises a viral self-cleaving 2A peptide between the nucleotide sequence encoding for the aCAR and the nucleotide sequence encoding for the iCAR. In some embodiments, the viral self-cleaving 2A peptide includes is the T2A from Thosea asigna virus (TaV). In some embodiments, the vector comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding the constitutive aCAR linked via a flexible linker to said iCAR. [0492] The immune cells may be transfected with the appropriate nucleic acid molecule described herein by e.g., RNA transfection or by incorporation in a plasmid fit for replication and/or transcription in a eukaryotic cell or a viral vector. In some embodiments, the vector is selected from a retroviral or lentiviral vector. [0493] Combinations of retroviral vector and an appropriate packaging line can also be used, where the capsid proteins will be functional for infecting human cells. Several amphotropic virus-producing cell lines are known, including PA12 (Miller, et al. (1985) Mol. Cell. BioI. 5:431-437); PA317 (Miller, et al. (1986) Mol. Cell. Bioi. 6:2895-2902); and CRIP (Danos, et ai. (1988) Proc. Nati. Acad. Sci. USA 85:6460-6464). Alternatively, non-amphotropic particles can be used, such as, particles pseudotyped with VSVG, RD 114 or GAL V envelope and in
some embodiments produced in a PG13 cell line. Cells can further be transduced by direct co- culture with producer cells, e.g., by the method of Bregni, et ai. (1992) Blood 80: 1418-1422, or culturing with viral supernatant alone or concentrated vector stocks, e.g., by the method of Xu, et ai. (1994) Exp. Hemat.22:223-230; and Hughes, et ai. (1992) J Clin. Invest.89: 1817. [0494] In some embodiments, the iCAR and aCAR are encoded by different constructs, for example as separate monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs. In some embodiments, the iCAR and aCAR are encoded by a single construct, for example as separate monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs within a single expression vector. [0495] In some embodiments, the iCAR and aCAR are encoded by the same expression vector.

[0513] As used herein, sequence identity can include the identity/similarity between two or more nucleic acid sequences, or two or more amino acid sequences, is expressed in terms of the identity or similarity between the sequences. Sequence identity can be measured in terms of percentage identity; the higher the percentage, the more identical the sequences are. Sequence similarity can be measured in terms of percentage similarity (which takes into account conservative amino acid substitutions); the higher the percentage, the more similar the sequences are. Homologs or orthologs of nucleic acid or amino acid sequences possess a relatively high degree of sequence identity/similarity when aligned using standard methods. Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well known in the art. Various programs and alignment algorithms are described in, for example but not limited to Smith & Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math.2:482, 1981; Needleman & Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443, 1970; Pearson & Lipman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.

Biol.215:403-10, 1990, presents a detailed consideration of sequence alignment methods and homology calculations. The NCBI Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) (Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-10, 1990) is available from several sources, including the National Center for Biological Information (NCBI, National Library of Medicine, Building 38A, Room 8N805, Bethesda, Md.20894) and on the Internet, for use in connection with the sequence analysis programs blastp, blastn, blastx, tblastn and tblastx. Additional information can be found at the NCBI web site. For example, BLASTN can be used to compare nucleic acid sequences, while BLASTP can be used to compare amino acid sequences. To compare two nucleic acid sequences, the options can be set as follows: -i is set to a file containing the first nucleic acid sequence to be compared (such as C:\seq1.txt); --j is set to a file containing the second nucleic acid sequence to be compared (such as C:\seq2.txt); --p is set to blastn; --o is set to any desired file name (such as C:\output.txt); --q is set to --1; --r is set to 2; and all other options are left at their default setting. For example, the following command can be used to generate an output file containing a comparison between two sequences: C:\B12seq --i c:\seq1.txt --j c:\seq2.txt --p blastn --o c:\output.txt --q --1 --r 2.

Cell killing can be quantified indirectly by estimating the number of live cells with the Bright-Glo Luciferase system. Cell killing can also be measured using an IncuCyte cytotoxicity assay. [0543] In some embodiments, the ‘off-tumor’ cytotoxicity can be manipulated by sorting transduced T cell populations according to iCAR/aCAR expression level or by selecting a sub population of recombinant target cells according to their target expression, including for example, expression of the gene product encoding for at least one extracellular polymorphic epitope. In some embodiments, the aCAR and iCAR target is any target with an extracellular domain. In some embodiments, the sorting is based on EGFR, HER2, or HLA-A2 expression level. [0544] In some embodiments, the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct or monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs for co-transduction is examined to determine whether the iCAR transduced T cells can discriminate between the ‘on-tumor’ cells (e.g., tumor cells) and ‘off- tumor’ cells (e.g., non-tumor cells) in vitro. Generally, this is tested by examining the killing effect of transduced T cells incubated with a mix of ‘on-tumor’ and ‘off-tumor’ cells at a ratio of 1:1 to 1:10. In some embodiments, the ratio Target cells to Effector T cells (T:E ratio) is 1:0.02, 1:0.04, 1:0.06, 1:0.08, 1:0.1, 1:0.12, 1:0.12, 1:0.14, 1:0.16, 1:0.18, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5,
1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, 1:11, 1:12, 1:13, 1:14, 1:15, 1:16, 1:17, 1:18, 1:19, or 1:20. In some embodiments, the E:T ratio (Effector T cells to Target cells) is 0.02:1, 0.04:1, 0.06:1, 0.08:1, 0.1:1, 0.12:1, 0.12:1, 0.14:1, 0.16:1, 0.18:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 9:1, 10:1, 11:1, 12:1, 13:1, 14:1, 15:1, 16:1, 17:1, 18:1, 19:1, or 20:1. The on tumor recombinant cells can be distinguished from the ‘off-tumor’ recombinant cells by luciferase expression in embodiments where only one cell population will be engineered to express the luciferase gene at a time). Killing can be quantified after 24-48 hrs of co-incubation using the Bright-Glo Luciferase assay (Promega). Killing can also be quantified using an IncCyte cytotoxicity assay. In some embodiments, transduced cells were only used in the assay of transduction efficiency was greater than 10% and expression was observed for both aCAR and iCAR. [0545] In some embodiments, the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct or monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs for co-transduction transduced T cells exhibit about 10%, about 20%, about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, and/or about 95% less off-tumor cell killing as compared to T cells transduced with aCAR (or other control) but not transduced with the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct or monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs for co-transduction. In some embodiments, the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct or monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs for co-transduction transduced T cells exhibit about 1-fold, about 2-fold, about 3-fold, about 4-fold, about 5-fold, or about 10-fold less off-tumor cell killing as compared to T cells transduced with aCAR (or other control) but not transduced with the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct. ii. Caspase 3 [0546] In some embodiments, caspase 3-detection assays are employed to determine the level of apoptosis of the ‘on-tumor’ cells (e.g., tumor cells) and ‘off-tumor’ cells (e.g., non-tumor cells) in vitro. In some embodiments, caspase 3-detection of cytotoxic lymphocyte (CTL) induced apoptosis by an antibody to activated cleaved caspase 3 is examined. [0547] Generally, one of the pathways by which CTLs kill target cells is by inducing apoptosis through the Fas ligand. The CASP3 protein is a member of the cysteine-aspartic acid protease (caspase) family. Typically, sequential activation of caspases plays a significant role in the execution-phase of cell apoptosis and as such, cleavage of pro-caspase 3 to caspase 3 results in conformational change and expression of catalytic activity. The cleaved activated form of caspase 3 can be recognized specifically by a monoclonal antibody. [0548] In some embodiments, transduced T cells can be incubated with either ‘on-tumor’ (e.g., mimicking tumor) and ‘off-tumor’ cells (e.g., mimicking non-tumor) recombinant cells. In some embodiments, the ‘on-tumor’ (e.g., tumor) and ‘off-tumor’ cells (e.g., non-tumor)
recombinant cells have been previously labeled with CFSE ((5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein N- hydroxysuccinimidyl ester)) or other cell tracer dye (e.g., CellTrace Violet). In some embodiments, co-incubation of target cells with effector cells occurs for about 1 hour to 6 about hours, about 2 hours to about 5 hours, or about 2 to about 4 hrs. In some embodiments, target cell apoptosis is quantified by flow cytometry. Cells can be permeabilized and fixed by an inside staining kit (Miltenyi or BD bioscience) and stained with an antibody for activated caspase 3 (BD bioscience). [0549] In some embodiments, the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct transduced T cells induce about 10%, about 20%, about 30%, about 40%, about 50%, about 60%, about 70%, about 80%, about 90%, and/or about 95% less off-tumor cell apoptosis as compared to T cells transduced with the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct but not transduced with the iCAR (or other appropriate control). In some embodiments, the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct transduced T cells induce about 1-fold, about 2-fold, about 3-fold, about 4-fold, about 5-fold, or about 10- fold less off-tumor cell apoptosis as compared to T cells transduced with aCAR (or other control) but not transduced with the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct. iii. Time-lapse microscopy [0550] Time lapse microscopy of the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct or monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs for co-transduction transduced T cells can be employed in order to discern target binding. In some embodiments, target cells will be labeled with a reporter gene (for example but not limited to a fluorescent protein such as mCherry). In some embodiments, transduced T cells are incubated with either ‘on-tumor’ or ‘off-tumor’ cells for up to 5 days. In some embodiments, time lapse microscopy can be used to visualize killing. In some embodiments, flow cytometry analysis using viable cell number staining and CountBrightTM beads (commercially available from Thermofisher/Invitrogen) for determining target cell number at end-point time will be conducted. [0551] In some embodiments, in order to determine if the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct or monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs for co-transduction transduced T cells can discern targets in vitro, each recombinant target cells (‘on-tumor’ or ‘off-tumor’) is labeled with a different reporter protein (for example GFP and mCherry). In some embodiments, any report protein pair would work, so long as the reporter pair contains two reporters which are easily distinguishable. In some embodiments, transduced T cells (Effector cells) will be co-incubated with the recombinant cells (target cells) at a 1:1 ratio of E/T. In some embodiments, the ration of effector to target (E/T) includes but is not limited to 16:1, 15:1, 14:1, 13:1, 12:1, 11:1, 10:1,
9:1, 8:1, 6:1, 4:1, 2:1, or 1:1. In some embodiments, the cell fate is then examined by microscopy imaging. iv. Cytokine expression intra cellular staining [0552] Cytokine expression and/or release can be examined in order to determine T cells activation. In some embodiments, a bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct transduced T cells are incubated with the recombinant target cells and cytokine production for one or more cytokines is quantified, for example, either by measuring cytokine secretion in cell culture supernatant according to or by flow cytometry analysis, or by Luminex and/or MSD . For the flow cytometry analysis, a Golgi stop can be employed to prevent the secretion of the cytokines. In some embodiments, following a 6 hour and 18 hour to 24 hour incubation of the transduced T cells with target cells, T cells will be permeabilized and fixed by an intracellular staining kit (Miltenyi) and stained with antibodies for the T cell markers (CD3 and CD8) and for one or more cytokines. In some embodiments, the cytokines include but are not limited to IL-2, INFγ, and/or TNFα. In some embodiments, the cytokines are secreted and include but are not limited to IL-2, INFγ, and/or TNFα. In some embodiments, the cytokines are intracellular and include but are not limited to IL-2, INFγ, and/or TNFα. v. T cell degranulation assay measured by CD107a staining [0553] Staining for CD107a can also be examined as a surrogate for cytolytic activity of the transduced T cells. Generally, degranulating of T cells can be identified by the surface expression of CD107a, a lysosomal associated membrane protein (LAMP-1), and surface expression of LAMP-1 has been shown to correlate with CD8 T cell cytotoxicity. Further, this molecule is located on the luminal side of lysosomes. Typically, upon activation, CD107a is transferred to the cell membrane surface of activated lymphocytes. Moreover, CD107a is expressed on the cell surface transiently and is rapidly re-internalized via the endocytic pathway. Therefore, while not being bound by theory, CD107a detection is maximized by antibody staining during cell stimulation and by the addition of monensin (for example, to prevent acidification and subsequent degradation of endocytosed CD107a antibody complexes). [0554] In some embodiments, the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct transduced T cells are incubated with the target cells for about 6 hours to about 24 hours and CD107a expression on the CD8 T cells is examined. In some embodiments, the target cells expresso only one target protein recognized by aCAR (as in tumor cells) or target cells expressing both target proteins recognized by aCAR and iCAR (as in normal cells). In some embodiments, the bicistronic
iCAR/aCAR construct transduced T cells are incubated with the target cells for about 6 ours to about 24 hrs in the presence of monensin and CD107a expression on the CD8 T cells is followed by flow cytometry using conjugated antibodies against the T cell surface markers (for example, CD3 and CD8) and a conjugated antibody for CD107a. vi. Quantitation of Secreted Cytokines by ELISA /Luminex [0555] In some embodiments, following co-cultivation of bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct transduced T-cells (Jurkat, or primary T- cells) expressing iCAR or aCAR or both aCAR and iCAR with modified target cells, expressing iCAR or aCAR or both aCAR and iCAR antigens on their cell surface, conditioned medium will be collected, and cytokine’s concentration will be measured by cytokine ELISA or by Luminex xMAP Multiplex Assay technology (Luminex). In some embodiments, the cytokine is selected from the group consisting of IL-2, INFγ and/or TNF^. In some embodiments, the cytokine is selected from the group consisting of IL-2. In some embodiments, the cytokine is selected from the group consisting of INFγ. In some embodiments, the cytokine is selected from the group consisting of TNF^. In some embodiments, a decrease of about 20%, about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95%, or about 99% is demonstrated with bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct transduced cells. vii. Cytokines Secretion Measured by Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) Assay [0556] Cytometric Bead Array (CBA) is used to measure a variety of soluble and intracellular proteins, including cytokines, chemokines and growth factors. In some embodiments, T-cells (primary T-cells or Jurkat cells) transduced with aCAR or both aCAR and iCAR constructs (Effector cells) are stimulated with modified target cells expressing both iCAR and aCAR or aCAR or iCAR target antigens on their cell surface. In some embodiments, the effector to target ratio ranges from 20:1 up to 1:1. In some embodiments, the effector to target ratio ranges from 20:1, 19:1, 18:1, 17:1, 16:1, 15:1, 14:1, 13:1, 12:1, 11:1, 10:1, 9:1, 8:1, 7:1, 6:1, 5:1, 4:1, 3:1,2:1, or 1:1. In some embodiments, following several hours of co-incubation the effector cells produce and secrete cytokines which indicate their effector state. In some embodiments, the supernatant of the reaction is collected, and secreted IL-2, IFN-γ, and/or TNFα were measured and quantified by multiplex CBA assay. [0557] In some embodiments, a decrease of about 20%, about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%,
about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95%, or about 99% is demonstrated with dual CAR (aCAR/iCAR) transduced cells were co-incubated with target cells expressing both target antigens as compared to IL-2, IFN-γ, and/or TNFα secretion resulted from co-incubation of the same effector cells with target cells expressing only one target. In some embodiments, a decrease of about 20%, about 25%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40%, about 45%, about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, about 95%, or about 99% in IL-2 IFN-γ, and/or TNFα secretion was demonstrated when bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct transduced cells were co-incubated with target cells expressing both target antigens as compared to IL-2 IFN-γ, and/or TNFα secretion resulted from co-incubation of the same effector cells with target cells expressing only one target. In some embodiments, a decrease of 86%. C. IN VIVO ASSAYS [0558] In some embodiments, the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR construct are tested for effectiveness in vivo.

In some embodiments, the iCAR epitope comprises at least one extracellular polymorphic epitope. In some embodiments, the iCAR epitope is from HLA (including, for example, HLA-A2, HLA-A3, HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-G, HLA-E, HLA-F, HLA- DPA1, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DQB1, HLA-DQB2, HLA-DRB1, or HLA-DRB5). In some embodiments, the iCAR epitope is from HLA-A2. Other cells that could be employed in these assays include but are not limited to Raji or any other recombinant cell lines. In some embodiments, such assays can be in a PDX (patient derived xenograft) model. [0559] For the assay, mice will be divided into study groups; one cohort will be injected with the A549, A431, Fadu, SK-OV-3, U-87, MCF7, NCI-H460 NCI-H1703, NCI-H1650, NCI- H1975, and/or NCI-H292 cells not expressing the iCAR epitope, while the other will be injected with the corresponding A549, A431, Fadu, SK-OV-3, U-87, MCF7, NCI-H460 NCI- H1703, NCI-H1650, NCI-H1975, NCI-H292 cells expressing the iCAR epitope. Following staging, mice will be infused intravenously with T cells transduced with aCAR, aCAR/iCAR

[0560] According to one embodiment of the assay, in order to test whether the T cells expressing the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR constructs could discriminate between the target cells and off target cells in vivo within the same organism, mice are injected with a 1:1 mixture of the ‘on-tumor’/’off-tumor A549, A431, Fadu, SK-OV-3, U-87, MCF7, NCI-H460 NCI-H1703, NCI-H1650, NCI-H1975, and/or NCI-H292 cells, followed by injection of transduced T cells expressing either the aCAR alone or both aCAR and iCAR (including as the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR constructs as described herein) after staging. With this embodiment, upon sacrifice of the mice the presence of the ‘on-tumor’ and ‘off-tumor cells Will be evaluated by immunohistochemical staining [0561] According to one embodiment of the assay, in order to test whether the T cells expressing the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR constructs could discriminate between the target cells and off target cells in vivo within the same organism, mice are injected with a 1:10 mixture of the ‘on-tumor’/’off-tumor NALM-6, A549, A431, Fadu, SK-OV-3, U-87, MCF7, and/or NCI- H460 NCI-H1703, NCI-H1650, NCI-H1975, NCI-H292 cells, followed by injection of transduced T cells expressing either the aCAR alone or both aCAR and iCAR. With this embodiment, upon sacrifice of the mice the presence of the ‘on-tumor’ and ‘off-tumor cells in the spleen and bone marrow will be analyzed by flow cytometry for iCAR and aCAR markers. i. Tumor growth kinetics in human xenograft mouse models [0562] In some embodiments, the tumor cells express either the iCAR target, aCAR target or both. In some embodiments, an aCAR tumor cell line could be the EGFR or HER2 positive cells lines A549, A431, Fadu, SK-OV-3 U-87, MCF7, and/or NCI-H460 (ATCC cell lines). In some embodiments, tumor cells that express both the aCAR and iCAR (i.e. ‘off-tumor’ cells) are NALM 6, A549, A431, Fadu, SK-OV-3, U-87, MCF7, MDA-MB-231, and/or NCI-H460 engineered to express the iCAR epitope (for example, HLA- A2) thereby representing the healthy cells.

[0563] In some embodiments, monitoring will be conducted by measuring tumor volume by mechanical means (caliper) and also by using in-vivo imaging systems (IVIS). In some embodiments, tumor burden can be quantified, and infiltrating T-cell populations can be analyzed by FACS. D. TREATMENT METHODS [0564] The present invention provides methods for the treatment of cancers by employing the bicistronic iCAR/aCAR constructs or monocistronic aCAR and iCAR constructs for co- transduction as described herein.

DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING OF BICISTRONIC INHIBITORY CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR (iCAR)/ACTIVATING CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTOR (aCAR) CONSTRUCTS Introduction: [0578] This example provides the results related to development and testing of bicistronic inhibitory chimeric antigen receptor (iCAR)/activating chimeric antigen receptor (aCAR) constructs in order to develop cancer therapeutics for use in safely target tumors that have lost genomic segments encoding cell-membrane proteins with polymorphic protein coding changes). Data provide in the example and figures include T-REP identification of new iCAR leads, new human HLA-A2 scFv constructs, and bicistronic LV transduction - FaDu/MCF7- Luc immune killing assay – including development of novel iCAR leads. [0579] Bicistronic iCAR/aCAR constructs have been developed and preliminary testing performed in order to prepare and examine these constructs for use as cancer therapeutics. See, Figures 1-59 as well as Tables 1-22 for illustrative design and evaluation of examples of iCAR and aCAR constructs as described herein, as well as sequences thereof.
MATERIALS AND METHODS mRNA transcription in vitro [0580] Appropriate plasmids were linearized using SpeI or BamHI restriction enzymes. Linear plasmid was used to transcribe in-vitro mRNA using T7mScript Standard mRNA Production System (CELLSCRIPT, Madison, U.S.A.). The concentration and quality of the mRNA were assessed by spectrophotometry. Preparation was according to manufacturer’s protocol. PBMC Purification [0581] Leukocyte enriched samples were acquired from The Sheba Medical Center blood bank, diluted with equal volumes of PBS and loaded on Ficoll-Paque PLUS (GE Healthcare) for density-based cell separation. Preparation was according to manufacturer’s protocol. Mononuclear cells were collected from the plasma/Ficoll interface, washed several times and resuspended in Cryostor CS10 (Merck). PBMC Culture and Transduction [0582] PBMCs were thawed and seeded at a density of 1x106 cells/ml in LymphoOne medium (Takara-Bio, Kusatsu, Japan) supplemented with 100 U/ml IL2 (Miltenyi Biotech, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). The next day concentrated lentiviruses were added at an MOI of 5, 10, or 20 (according to prior calibrations). After 3 days cells were transferred to 24-well G-Rex plates (Wilson Wolf, Saint Paul, MN) containing LymphoOne medium supplemented with 1% human serum (Access Biologicals, Vista, CA) and 100 U/ml IL2. On day 7 post-thaw 100 U/ml IL2 was added, and on day 8 the medium was replaced. Functional assays were typically performed. mRNA electroporation [0583] On day 8 or 10 of PBMC’s culture, 2x106 cells were washed twice with OptiMEM medium (GibcoBRL, Grand Island, NY). The cells were resuspended in 100ul OptiMEM containing 1-10ug mRNA and electroporated in 2mm cuvette, using NepaGene21 electroporator (Nepa Gene Co., Ltd., Japan) at 200V, 2.5ms, one pulse or using ECM830 electroporator (BTX.Ltd., US) at 300V, 2ms, one pulse. The cells were resuspended in 5ml growth medium and transferred into 6well plates for further incubation. IncuCyte Cytotoxicity Assay [0584] Target cells expressing nuclear-GFP (nGFP) were seeded in black-walled 384-well plates with microclear bottom (Greiner Bio-One, Kremsmünster, Austria), 1.5x104 cells per
well, in LymphoOne medium supplemented with 1% human serum. The next day, transduced or electroporated PBMCs were added to the wells at the desired E:T ratio. Annexin-V Red (Essen BioScience, Ann Arbor, MI) to detect apoptosis was added immediately before adding PBMCs). Plates were imaged for 3 days using the IncuCyte S3 (Essen BioScience) instrument at 37C, 5%CO2. Percent killing was calculated as nGFP+ Annexin-V-Red+ cell count divided by total nGFP+ cell count. ELISA [0585] Target cells expressing nuclear-GFP (nGFP) were seeded in 96 well plates (Thermo, NU-167008), 5x103 cells per well, in LymphoOne medium supplemented with 1% human serum. The next day, transduced or electroporated PBMCs were added to the wells at 5:1 E:T ratio. Cells are co-incubated for 15-18hrs at 37C, 5%CO2. Following co-incubation, supernatant is harvested and transferred to non-binding 96-well plates (Greiner, #655901) at - 200c. Supernatants are diluted 3 and 100-fold, ELISA performed as to manufactures instruction (Human IFN-gamma Quantikine, R&D, #SIF50) and quantified using Tecan plate reader. Quantification of Antigen Expression by Flow Cytometry [0586] The MESF/“Antibody Binding Capacity” (ABC) ratio of a particular antibody can be used to quantify the number of antigen sites per cell. To establish the MESF/ABC ratio of each antibody Lot, MFIs of stained SCQ beads were correlated to the MFIs of MESF standards. The slope of the curve constitutes the ratio of fluorochrome label in MESF units per antibody. The MESF/ABC of every antibody Lot was measured using mouse/human/rat Simple Cellular Quantum (SCQ) Beads and MESF standards purchased from Bangs laboratories. Each of the 4 populations of SCQ beads has a known Antibody Binding Capacity (ABC), typically in the range of several thousands to 500-800K, so by staining these beads with an antibody at near saturation, one can correlate the fluorescence measurement (MFI) on a flow cytometer to the amount of bound antibody (ABC). MESF standard beads are composed of 4-5 different bead populations labeled with a known amount of fluorochrome molecules. By running MESF beads on a flow cytometer, one can correlate an MFI measurement to MESF units and compare between data that was collected on multiple different occasions, PMT voltages and instruments. When using HLA-A2/NYESO1- PE tetramers to stain tag-less iCAR constructs, the MESF/ABC ratio was established by staining control Jurkat cell lines that express a tagged aCAR and iCAR at high and low levels, with both quantifiable Anti-Myc Tag antibody and HLA-A2/NYESO1- PE tetramers. For each staining 100-200K positive cells were washed
twice with 100ul of cold FACS buffer (2% FCS in PBS x1) by centrifugation, 300g for 5min at 4oC. For Flag tagged aCAR and Myc tagged iCAR quantification, the cells were stained with 50ul of APC (130-119-584, Miltenyi) and FITC (130-116-485, Miltenyi) labeled antibodies diluted 1/25 with FACS buffer. For un-tagged trastuzumab aCAR and Anti-HLA- A2 iCAR quantification, primary human Anti-Trastuzumab scFv69 (Ab00618-10.0, Absolute Antibody), HLA-A2/NYESO1- PE tetramers (TB-M105-1, MBL) and secondary Anti-human Fc APC (BLG-409306, biolegend) were diluted in FACS buffer, 1/25, 1/5 and 1/10 respectively. For target cell line antigen quantification, Anti-EGFR PE (FAB9577P-100, R&D), Anti-HER2 APC (130-106-696, Miltenyi) and Anti-HLA-A2 APC (17-9876-42, ebioscience) were diluted with FACS buffer, 1/2.5, 1/10 and 1/5 respectively. The cells were incubated at 4oC in the dark for 45-60min and washed thrice with 100ul cold FACS buffer as described previously. The cells were resuspended with 150ul of FACS buffer or PBS X1 containing 0.5-1 ug/ml DAPI (MBD0015-1, Merck-Sigma). The cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (BD FACS Celesta or MACSQuant Analyzer 10) collecting 10K– 50K double positive events from each sample. Next, without changing the PMT voltages on the instrument, 5-10K events of each population of relevant MESF standard beads (FITC 555P-5ML, APC 823-5ML, PE 827-5ML, Bangs), were collected. FlowJo software was used to gate and calculate MFIs (Geometric Mean Fluorescence) and MESF beads QuickCal files, provided by the manufacturer, were used to convert the MFIs in to MESF units. Next, the values were converted to ABC units Using the MESF/ABC curves of the specific antibody lots used. DISCUSSION FaDu/MCF7-Luc immune killing assay [0587] Identification of novel iCAR using a nucGFP labeled target cells endpoint and bicistronic LV transduction. [0588] The assay was useful regarding increasing the potency of iCAR inhibition (scFv avidity & activity) is necessary to decrease the iCAR/aCAR stoichiometry for efficient aCAR protection. Continued development and analysis related to dual differential expression in a lentiviral bicistronic format is ongoing and in progress. [0589] Focused on HER2 (anti-Trastuzumab scFv) as an aCAR. Identified fully human or humanizied scFv’s to target HLA-A2. Identified novel iDomains (LIR1, KIR2DL1, KIR2DL2, and/or BTLA).
Lentiviral dualCAR expression [0590] Low transduction efficiency and variable differential expression. [0591] iCAR constructs are identical, except for variations in the inhibitory domain. [0592] aCAR constructs are also identical, except for variations in the scFv: Cetuximab or Panitumumab for EGFR and Trastuzumab or Pertuzumab for Her2. [0593] All constructs are in iCAR/aCAR configuration with T2A cleavable linker. [0594] IncuCyte Immune Cell Killing Assay: a cell imagining platform to monitor target killing and proliferation, and T-cell activation kinetics. [0595] Quantum Bead Assay: a methodology to incorporate absolute aCAR & iCAR level, stoichiometry, and expression kinetics into screening and analysis. [0596] IMPT001 GO: in vitro validation HLA-A2 scFv/PD-1 iCAR pairing with EGFR & HER2 scFv aCAR using mRNA co-electroporation of constructs into effector cells, using the Incucyte platform and FACS T-cell profiling IMPT001 go. [0597] Lentiviral Technology: Design and evaluate the expression of mono- and dual lentiviral aCAR & iCAR to support IMPT001 and identify novel iCAR (64 constructs). [0598] New Potent HLA-A2 scFv: Characterize a fully human HLA-A2 scFv alternative to murine BB7.2 as a lentiviral iCAR transduced into donor PBMC that appears to bind HLA-A tetramers more avidly. [0599] FaDU/U87-Luc Immune Killing Assay: identification of novel iCAR using a Luciferase viability endpoint. LIR1 & KIR2DL1 iCARs identified. Validation of an IncuCyte immune cell killing assay [0600] Dependence of target cell killing & proliferation on E/T ratio. [0601] Implemented an immune cell killing assay that simultaneously images the kinetics of target cell killing and proliferation, and T-cell activation. [0602] The technology is applicable to diverse adherent cancer cell lines partially circumventing the time and cost associated with engineering isogenic cell lines. [0603] The kinetic and endpoints are a quantitative metrics that will allow dual CAR ranking, i.e., directly proportional to E/T ratio and aCAR and iCAR level. [0604] The sensitivity (E/T EC50) of target cancer cell lines to EGFR and HER2 aCAR killing varies > 5-fold and does not correlate with EGFR expression level.
Cell-surface expression [0605] Absolute iCAR/aCAR level and stoichiometry – Effector cells. Absolute iCAR/aCAR antigen level and stoichiometry – Target cells. See, for example, Figure 14. [0606] A highly reproducible FACS based method has been implemented to quantify absolute CAR and target antigen levels) [0607] The level of aCAR and iCAR expression obtained with mRNA co-electroporation are linearly dependent on mRNA amount. [0608] Stoichiometric expression by co-electroporation is heavily iCAR biased (e.g., iCAR/aCAR slope = 6.0 on the Jurkat experiment (See, for example, Figures 12-13). An EGFR x HLA-A2 Dual CAR [0609] Validation with mRNA co-electroporation studies. [0610] Pairing of Cetuximab aCAR with a BB7.2 PD-1 iCAR was assessed by mRNA co- electroporation in HLA-A2 NEG and HLA-A2 POS adherent cancer cell-lines. [0611] Killing of FaDu A2 NEG cells by dual CAR T-cells was obtained at low E/T ratios without apparent loss of aCAR activity, U87 A2 POS (EGFR aCAR sensitive) cancer cells were fully protected. [0612] All HLA-A2 POS cancer cell lines tested inhibited T-cell activation (CD107a, IFNg) at low E/T regardless of HLA-A2 level (~105 to ~106 per cell) and target cell killing efficiency. [0613] CAR quantification has not yet been performed, however HLA-A2 dependent protection is associated with excess iCAR exposure (>10-fold Cmax). See, for example, Figure 12A. [0614] Pairing of Trastuzumab scFv aCAR with a BB7.2 scFv PD-1 iCAR was assessed by mRNA co-electroporation in HLA-A2 NEG and HLA-A2 POS adherent cancer cell-lines. [0615] Killing of FaDu A2 NEG cells by dual CAR T-cells was obtained at E/T =10 without apparent loss of aCAR activity. [0616] Protection of MDA-MB-231 A2 POS cancer cells appeared to depend on a 300-fold excess of iCAR over aCAR expression (Cmax). [0617] In contrast, lower iCAR levels were sufficient to inhibit T-cell activation (CD107a, IFNg, TNFa) regardless of target cell killing efficiency. Dual CAR lentiviral transduction [0618] Absolute and stoichiometric expression in PBMCs. [0619] iCAR constructs are identical, except for variations in the inhibitory domain.
[0620] aCAR constructs are also identical, except for variations in the scFv: Cetuximab or Panitumumab for EGFR and Trastuzumab or Pertuzumab for Her2. [0621] All constructs are in iCAR/aCAR configuration with T2A cleavable linker. [0622] The PBMC transduction efficiency (% gated double positive) of lentiviral bicistronic CARs was variable and most often too low (< 20%) for IncuCyte co-culture assays. [0623] iCAR expression (proximal gene) could exceed aCAR expression (distal gene) by 5-10 fold but exceptions and failures were not uncommon. Identification of HUMAN alternatives to BB7.2 HLA-A2 scFv [0624] Mono-cistronic expression in PBMCs and HLA-A tetramer binding. [0625] Binding to HLA-A2 tetramers was observed for BB7.2 (++), 3PF12 (+++), SN66E3 (+++), MBW1. Sequence Modifies (++). Binding to HLA-A2 tetramers was no observed for Ha5C2.A2 and murine BBM.1. [0626] cMYC tag reports surface expression of iCARs. [0627] HLA-A2 tetramer reports on HLA-A2 scFv binding. [0628] Two fully human HLA-A2 scFv were identified as potential alternatives to BB7.2 (murine) that appear to bind HLA-A2 tetramer with higher avidity: 3PF12 and SN66E3. FaDu/U87-Luc immune killing assay [0629] Identification of novel iCAR using a Luciferase viability endpoint. [0630] FaDu/U87-Luc Assay was developed and internal controls were validated. EGFR aCARs show robust specific killing of FaDu and U87 cells. HLA-A2 aCAR shows specific killing in U87 HLA-A2 POS cells. [0631] Achieves high E/T ratios without assay interference (E/T = 64). [0632] HLA-A2 dependent protection observed KIR2DL1 is consistent with T-REP (KIR2DL2) and Jurkat NFAT-Luc FA experiments (KIR2DL1 + KIR2DL2). FaDu/MCF7-Luc immune killing assay [0633] Identification of novel iCAR using a Luciferase viability endpoint. [0634] FaDu/MCF7-Luc Assay was developed and internal controls were validated. HER2 aCARs show robust specific killing of FaDu and MCF7 cells. Achieves high E/T ratios without assay interference (E/T = 20). [0635] HLA-A2 dependent protection observed with KIR2DL1 is consistent with T-REP (KIR2DL2) and Jurkat NFAT-Luc FA experiments (KIR2DL1 + KIR2DL2). [0636] HLA-A2 dependent protection observed with LIR1 is consistent with Jurkat NFAT-Luc FA experiments.
Summary [0637] The data provide herein supports in vitro validation of a humanizied BB7.2 iCAR scFv (see, for example, Fig. 59). This data confirmed that efficacy was observed for all constructs with a Hz BB7.2 version. This data also demonstrated that protection was observed for all constructs with a Hz BB7.2 version. VR428 and VR421 were identified as exemplary constructs. [0638] Also provided by the data was in vivo validation of HzBB7.2 iCAR scFv (see, for example, Fig. 54 and Fig. 55). Both efficacy and protection were demonstrated in an in vivo study for low and high dose with VR428 administration. VR428 was identified as an exemplary construct. [0639] Also provided by the data was in vitro validation of a fully human SN66E3.3 iCAR scFv (see, for example, Fig. 49). This data confirmed that efficacy was observed for all constructs with a fully human SN66E3 version. This data also demonstrated that protection was observed for all constructs with a fully human SN66E3 versions. VR447 and VR449 were identified as exemplary constructs. EXAMPLE 2. GENERATION AND USE OF ANTI-IDIOTYPE BB7.2 ANTIBODIES [0640] Background: [0641] Enrichment of T cells expressing the bi cistronic iCAR/aCAR chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) described herein is based on the selection of cells expressing the iCAR inhibitory receptor comprising an scFv against the HLA-A2 antigen. [0642] The target HLA-A2 specific iCAR is a single chain fragment that contains antibody variable regions joined by a flexible (G4S)X3 linker. [0643] The antibodies described below specifically bind to the single chain variable fragment (scFv) derived from antibody BB7.2 contained in the extracellular portion of iCARs described herein. [0644] The anti-idiotype antibodies recognize an epitope within all or part of the complementarity determining region (CDR) of the BB7.2 based on their ability to recognize both murine BB7.2 and humanized version of the BB7.2 scFv that only differ in their framework sequence, while they fail to bind a control antibody of the same human framework. Some of the anti-idiotype antibody may bind to the antigen binding domain of the iCAR based on their ability to compete with ligand binding. [0645] Hybridoma generation and antibody screening:
[0646] Anti-Idiotype monoclonal antibodies in the form of murine antibodies were produced in mouse host, by inoculation with recombinant humanized BB7.2.1 scFv-His in immunization campaigns. In this regard four Swiss Inbred Mice were immunized with the extracellular domain (ECD) portion of iCAR containing anti-HLA-A2 scFv derived from the variable region sequence of humanized BB7.2.1, (SEQ ID.359) to provide hybridomas secreting high affinity, murine monoclonal anti idiotype antibody antibodies. [0647] The immunogen (ECD region of the HzBB7.2 iCAR) has the following sequence: MALPVTALLLPLALLLHAARPQVQLVQSGAEVKKPGSSVKVSCKASGYTFTS YHIQWVRQAPGQGLEWMGWIYPGDGSTQYNEKFKGRTTITADKSTSTAYME LSSLRSEDTAVYYCAREGTYYAMDYWGQGTLVTVSSGGGGSGGGGSGGGG SDVVMTQTPLSLSVTPGQPASISCRSSQSIVHSNGNTYLEWYLQKPGQSPQLLI YKVSNRFSGVPDRFSGSGSGTDFTLKISRVEAEDVGVYYCFQGSHVPRTFGGG TKVEIKGSHHHHHHHH (SEQ ID NO: 359) [0648] The cDNA encoding HzBB7 scFv was cloned into a transient expression vector as a c- terminal His tagged protein which also contains an N-terminal T cell epitope. Expression constructs were transfected into HEK293 cells, and 600ml conditioned media was generated for each protein. Conditioned media was purified by Ni-NTA chromatography (Fig. 13). Immunogen purity of 80% was used for immunizations. [0649] The Hz.BB7.2 sCFv fusion construct was expressed and purified from the supernatant of HEK 293 transfected cells.10 μg of Hz.Bb7.2-His immunogen was emulsified with an equal volume of TITERMAX® Gold (CytRx Corporation) or alum adjuvant and used for the immunization of each mouse. The resulting emulsions were then injected into four Swiss Inbred Mice via the footpad route. [0650] Sera isolated from immunized mice was examined by ELISA for binding ability to the recombinant soluble ECD moiety by detection with a secondary antibody, and by flow cytometry for binding ability to the iCAR expressed on the surface of Jurkat cells. [0651] Sera-positive immunized mice were sacrificed, and draining lymph nodes (popliteal and inguinal, and medial iliac if enlarged) were dissected out and used as a source for antibody producing cells. A single cell suspension of B cells was fused with non-secreting P3×63Ag8.653 myeloma cells (ATCC #CRL-1580) at a ratio of 1:1 by electrofusion. After the fusion procedure, the cells were resuspended in hybridoma selection medium. [0652] Hybridoma fusion clones were generated and further characterized by ELISA for binding to scFv, and positive clones were selected for secondary Flow cytometry screen.
Antibodies were evaluated for their ability to specifically bind to engineered Jurkat cells transduced with murine BB7.2 CAR, (VR370) and two different Hz.BB7.2 derived iCAR (VR375, and VR379). VR33 transduced Jurkat cells were used as a negative control in this assay, (Trastuzumab derived aCAR transduced control Jurkat cells). [0653] Fig.14 shows the binding specificity of purified Anti-HzBB7 anti idiotype antibody to surface of Jurkat cells expressing murine and humanized BB7.2 CAR vs trastuzumab CAR (NC VR33) [0654] Binding to BB7.2 derived iCAR expressed on primary T cells: [0655] Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from human subjects, cells were activated and transduced with a viral vector encoding BB7.2 iCAR constructs. [0656] As shown in Fig. 15, four anti BB7.2 anti-idiotype antibodies detected T cells transduced with anti-HLA-A2 iCAR scFv containing variable regions derived from murine BB7.2 (CT0051), Hz.BB7.2.1 (CT0428) and Hz.BB7.2.2 (CT0421) in a concentration- dependent manner. [0657] Q3, Q7, Q11 and Q30 antibodies detected positive iCAR expressing cells and not T cells expressing control CAR (CT0449). None of the candidate anti-idiotype antibodies to the BB7.2-derived antibody showed specific binding for cells expressing different anti-HLA-A2 CAR containing scFv derived from the SN66E3 antibody sequence (CT0449). Anti-idiotype antibody clones Q3, Q7, Q11, Q14 and Q30 were selected for further characterization. [0658] Sequence identification: [0659] Five of the distinct monoclonal antibodies that bound immobilized BB7.2 scFv or iCAR transduced Jurkat cells with apparently high affinity were selected for sequencing and further analysis. [0660] The sequences of anti-BB7.2 clones Q3, Q7, Q11, Q14 and Q30 antibodies were determined. Total RNA was extracted from hybridoma cells containing hybridoma clones expressing anti-ID Q3, Q7, Q11, Q14 and Q30 and cDNA was extracted and sequenced. [0661] As shown in a tabular fashion in Tables 23 and 24 above, sequence analysis of the light chain variable regions and heavy chain variable regions from selected monoclonal antibodies generated confirmed that many had novel complementarity determining regions and often displayed novel VDJ arrangements. Note that the complementarity determining regions set forth in Table 23 are defined as per Kabat et al., supra.

[0663] The immunogen (ECD region of the SN66E3 iCAR) has the following sequence: MALPVTALLLPLALLLHAARPDIVMTQSPDSLAVSLGERATISCKSSQSVLYSS NNKNYLAWYQQKPGQPPKLLIYWASTRESGVPDRFSGSGSGTDFTLTISSLQA EDVAVYYCQQYYGTPFTFGGGTKVEIKGGGGSGGGGSGGGGSQVQLVQSGA EVKKPGASVKVSCKASGYTFTDYYLHWVRQAPGQGLEWMGWINPYTGGTN YAQKFQGRVTMTRDTSISTAYMELSRLRSEDTAVYYCARAGASYYDFWSGW VFDYWGQGTLVTVSSHHHHHHHH (SEQ ID NO: 360) [0664] Hybridoma generation and antibody screening: [0665] Mice were immunized with a soluble protein containing the scFv portion of this iCAR. The soluble protein reagent used for immunization is shown in SEQ ID NO: 360. Sera isolated from immunized mice were examined by ELISA for the ability to bind to the scFv by detection with a secondary anti mouse Fc antibody. [0666] Hybridoma fusion clones were generated, and 5 candidate clones were further characterized by flow cytometry. Hybridoma clones were screened for binding specificity using two different CAR derived from the sequence of SN66E3 that differ in 3 framework residues and their ability to cross react with both scFV expressed by VR447 and VR449. EXAMPLE 4. REWIRING CAR T-CELLS FOR ABSOLUTE SOLID TUMOR SPECIFICITY AND SAFETY Background [0667] Translation of the success of CAR-T therapy to the treatment of cancer patients with solid tumors would address a large unmet need. On-Target’ ‘off-tumor’ toxicity is a fundamental barrier to the effective dosing of solid tumors since CAR-T targets are shared between cancer and normal tissues. The dual CAR-T system described herein was developed such that it can distinguished tumor and normal cells with absolute specificity based on chromosomal loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH).
The iCAR Platform Targets loss-of heterozygosity (LOH) [0668] The dual CAR-T cells incorporate an inhibitory CAR (iCAR) receptor that recognizes antigen LOH in cell-surface proteins and a conventional CAR (aCAR) that programs T-cell activation and killing. The expression of the HLA-A*02 iCAR target located on chromosome 6 and the HER2 aCAR target located on chromosome 17 (not shown) overlap in normal tissues. Normal cells are protected by iCAR antigen engagement which inhibits aCAR killing, whereas cancer cells are not protected by the iCAR since the antigen target is lost. Summary [0669] HLA-A2 LOH differentiates solid tumor from normal tissue with absolute and irreversible specificity. A dual CAR system that pairs an HLA-A2 specific iCAR and a HER2 targeted aCAR can recognize HLA-A2 loss in a lung cancer model that mimics LOH. This preclinical proof-of-concept supports clinical development the iCAR LOH targeting concept. [0670] Reference: Bray, F. et al Global 2018 estimates of cancer mortality. A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, Volume: 68, Issue: 6, 394-424, 2018. EXAMPLE 5. INCORPORATION OF INHIBITORY SIGNALING DOMAINS INTO CHIMERIC ANTIGEN RECEPTORS (iCAR) DESIGNED FOR SELF- REGULATION OF CANONICAL CAR-T TO TREAT SOLID TUMORS Background [0671] The system described in the present example directly addresses the challenge of increasing antigenic selectivity1of the therapeutic CARs to avoid damage to non-tumor tissues. [0672] The approach is based on the identification of new inhibitory targets that when engaged by an inhibitory CAR inhibit the activation of the CAR-T-cells. [0673] These inhibitory targets may comprise allelic variants of polymorphic cell surface epitopes, which are lost from tumor cells due to loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the chromosomal region they reside in, while remaining expressed on normal tissue. Because of LOH, it is possible to distinguish the two alleles and target only the allele missing in the tumor cells2-4. [0674] The Dual CAR system is composed of an activating CAR (aCAR) and an inhibitory CAR (iCAR), where the iCARand aCARsignaling domains are referred to as iDomainand aDomainrespectively. [0675] This exemplary approach for limiting T-cell responses exclusively to tumor cells, that express only the aCARtarget while protecting cells which express the iCARtarget, potentially
broadens the range of tumor related antigens which can be safely targeted by CAR T-cells in solid tumors. Conclusion [0676] The screen for iDomain.results in several highly potential iCARsthat can be paired with various aCARs [0677] The Dual CAR-T cells are validated for both efficacy and protection, in several isogenic tumor models, both in-vitroand in-vivo.
