  • Publication number: 20220062342
    Abstract: Provided herein are activated adoptive T-cell compositions targeting plasma cell dyscrasias such as multiple myeloma and methods of treating plasma cell dyscrasias such as multiple myeloma using such compositions. The T-cell compositions of the present disclosure are activated against a select group of antigens associated with multiple myeloma (MMAAs) and, in certain embodiments, in combination with more widely expressed tumor associated antigens (TAAs). In particular, the T-cell compositions of the present disclosure are directed to the MMAAs selected from B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), X box Protein 1 (XBP1), CS1, and Syndecan-1 (CD 138), or a combination thereof. In certain embodiments, the T-cell composition includes T-cells activated to a TAA selected from preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (PRAME), Survivin, Wilms' Tumor 1 protein (WT1), and melanoma antigen 3 (MAGE-A3), or a combination thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220064598
    Abstract: The disclosure provides T-cell compositions, therapies and processes of manufacture that are tailored to the specific antigenic expression of a subjects' tumor and allowing for changes in expression over time based on either pressure from antineoplastic therapy or natural heterogeneous selection. The disclosure also extends to methods of manufacturing such T-cell compositions and the generation of single antigen T-cell banks from healthy donors to provide an improved personalized T-cell therapy.
