Why immunotherapy? Cancers Primarily derived from changes to self-proteins Contain many mutations Are heterogeneous, even in the same patient Are good at mutating to avoid selective pressure Deploy a range of tactics to avoid immune system detection Re-establishing T cell recognition and catalysing a polyclonal T cell response is key 12 The key to tackling cancer effectively is immune engagement

TCR Affinity - Determined by Thymic selection The entire peptidome (all peptides) is presented in the thymus T cells undergo positive and negative selection within the cortex and medulla of the thymus High affinity Low affinity Negative selection Positive selection Thymus 39 x

Natural T cells are ill-equipped to clear cancer Due to negative selection virtually all circulating T cells that have self peptide specificity will have low affinity TCRs This mechanism guards the body against autoimmunity However all reasonably prevalent peptide antigens of cancer relevance are of self origin Many of these peptide antigens are derived from proteins for which the encoding gene is silenced (or severely suppressed) in all (or almost all) adult tissues 40

Viral TCRs have higher affinity than natural cancer TCRs Aleksic, M. et al. (2012).

Affinity optimizing cancer TCRs is pivotal to t cell function Some non-engineered TCRs will recognise antigen well e.g. NY-ESO Even so, engineering improves antigen recognition Some non-engineered TCRs fail to recognise antigen well e.g. MAGE-A4 Engineering enables antigen recognition Affinity engineering is a critical step in TCR optimization 42

Affinity optimizing cancer TCRs is pivotal to t cell function Some non-engineered TCRs will recognise antigen well e.g. NY-ESO Even so, cancer cell killing is dramatically improved by affinity optimization Some non-engineered TCRs fail to recognise antigen well e.g. MAGE-A4 The optimal affinity is crucial for T cell function and the same across all cancer cell lines Affinity engineering is a critical step in TCR optimization 46

93% CR rate for relapsed/refractory ALL after CTL019 59 r/r pediatric ALL pts: 55 in CR at one mo (93%) median f/u 12 mo Six went to subsequent transplant, one to DLI Six mo RFS: 76% (95%CI:0.65,0.89) 12 mo RFS: 55% (95%CI: 0.42,0.73) No relapses past one year 18 patients in remission beyond one year, 13 without further therapy 85

Two approaches to genetically engineered T cells: CARs and TCRs 86 Sensitive signal amplification derived by evolution Hard to isolate and engineer Low avidity Can targets intracellular proteome (3/4) Requires MHC-I expression and HLA matching on tumor Signal amplification from synthetic biology Easier to make Avidity controllable Targets only surface structures (1/4) MHC independent: “off the shelf” Toxicity difficult to predict TCR CAR

Ny-eso-1 76% of synovial sarcomas express strong staining, defined as 2-3+ in >50-70% (Lai, Mod Pathol 2012) A TCR recognizing NY-ESO-1 in the context of HLA:A0201 was cloned from a patient with cancer, then modified for higher affinity (Zhao, J Immunol, 2007) A Cancer-testis antigen highly expressed in synovial sarcoma NY-ESO IHC screening on Synovial Sarcomas 87

Advantages of cellular immunotherapy Kills “resistant” tumors (e.g. 17p – P53 del) Penetrates “sanctuary” sites (e.g. CNS) Through expansion and serial killing can eradicate “large” tumors Can generate long-lived “memory” responses to protect against recurrence High degree of specificity, avoids second malignancies and immunodepletion 105
