Abstract:
The present invention provides composition kits and methods for treating cancer in a human by immunotherapy using successive doses of CAR-T cells with no or reduced anamnestic immune reaction in one individual (P).

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a TCR KO—or TCR KO and dCK KO—engineered immune cells expressing a Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CAR) specific for CD123 that is a recombinant chimeric protein able to redirect immune cell specificity and reactivity toward CD123-expressing cells, and more particularly in which extracellular ligand binding is a scFV derived from a CD123 monoclonal antibody, conferring specific immunity against CD123 positive cells. The engineered immune cells endowed with such CD123 CARs are particularly suited for treating relapse refractory AML and blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm and for use as a treatment before bone marrow transplantation.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to engineered immune cells, method for their preparation and their use as medicament, particularly for immunotherapy. The engineered immune cells of the present invention are characterized in that at least one gene selected from a gene encoding GCN2 and a gene encoding PRDM1 is inactivated or repressed. Such modified Immune cells are resistant to an arginine and/or tryptophan depleted microenvironment caused by, e.g., tumor cells, which makes the immune cells of the invention particularly suitable for immunotherapy. The invention opens the way to standard and affordable adoptive immunotherapy strategies using immune cells for treating different types of malignancies.
