Gene therapy for refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma using T-cells expressing a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) was studied as follows: (1) To improve the anti-tumor activity, T-cells were transduced with CD19-targeted CAR and IL-21 genes. However, the therapeutic effect was not enhanced by IL-21 in tumor-bearing mice. (2) For the safety, we developed a switch promoter, which stimulates transgene expression in CAR T-cells upon interaction with target cells. We demonstrated that this system works through CAR-dependent signaling in CAR T-cells in vitro and in tumor-bearing mice. (3) We manufactured CD19-CAR T-cells from patient-derived PBMCs by a closed cell-processing system, and confirmed that these T-cells can kill B lymphoma cells in vitro. (4) A clinical protocol (CD19-CAR T-cell therapy for B-cell lymphoma) was approved by IRB and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. Enrollment started in December 2014.
