GOOD MORNING AMERICA UCLA Researchers Announce Gene Therapy Cure for 18 ‘Bubble Baby’ Patients Nov 18, 2014 18 patients with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (SCID) ranging in age from 3 months to 4 years at the time of treatment. Their blood stem cells (hematopoietic stem cells) were removed from their bone marrow and genetically modified to correct the gene defect that had left the children without a working immune system. The children were cured without any side effects. New York Times In Girl’s Last Hope, Altered Immune Cells Beat Leukemia December 9, 2012 Juno Therapeutics, the company developing the therapy, in a study found an 89 percent remission rate among 27 adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia no longer responding to other treatments. Doctors remove millions of the patient’s T-cells and insert new genes that enable the T-cells to kill cancer cells. The new genes program the T-cells to attack B-cells, a normal part of the immune system that turn malignant in this leukemia. The altered T-cells — called chimeric antigen receptor cells — are then dripped back into the patient’s veins, and if all goes well they multiply and start destroying the cancer. Regenerative Medicine/Cell-Gene Therapy Maturing Gene modification of patients’ own immune cells returned to patients is saving lives.

What is Cell/Gene Therapy A branch of Regenerative Medicine, an emerging field that involves the "process of replacing, engineering or regenerating human cells, tissues or organs to restore or establish normal function”. Gene therapy is the the delivery of therapeutic gene into a patient's cells to treat disease. Cell therapy is the delivery of intact, living cells into a patient to treat disease. Combination Cell/Gene Therapy approaches that seek to insert genes into a patients’ own cells to control or kill HIV are in clinical trials now.

Ex vivo gene therapy - Usually with blood cells (lymphocytes or blood stem cells) for diseases affecting the hematopoietic system In vivo gene therapy - Oncolytic adenoviruses for the treatment of cancer Adeno-associated vectors for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy or hemophilia Non-viral for cancer Different Routes of Gene Therapy

Sterilizing Cure complete eradication of all replication competent forms of HIV. The reservoir is gone. Timothy Brown received a sterilizing cure. Functional Cure Life-long control of virus in the absence of antiretroviral therapy, but without achieving complete eradication of HIV. Virus remains in reservoirs in the body. Sterilizing vs functional cure

Current Clinical Approaches
Slide 35-

Timothy Brown--cured of HIV through a transplant of hematopoietic stem cells with a natural mutation that largely prevents HIV infection. This mutation can be replicated via gene therapy. Timothy received the stem cells from a donor and the resulting graft vs host disease was likely a factor in his cure. Attempts to replicate have failed in 6 patients due to the severity of their cancer. Matt Sharp took part in a clinical trial in which his own T-cells were removed from whole blood via apheresis and then gene modified and returned into his body. The Phase I trial recruited immunologic non-responders and Matt experienced a rise in his T-cell count. Sangamo, the sponsor, reported Phase II trial results in late 2014, that a “single infusion” of modified T cells “resulted in sustained reduction and control of viral load in the absence of antiretroviral drugs in several subjects..” and “a decrease in the size of the HIV reservoir.” Cell/Gene Therapy—Why? One cure, human trials underway

Slide 37-

Clinical trials—blood cancer patients Many trials recruit lymphoma or leukemia patients who need a transplant Undergo conditioning to eliminate current immune system to create space for a new system The HSCs used in these trials are autologous, meaning that they are taken from the patients not from a donor. Their HSCs are gene modified to resist HIV, and are then transplanted back into the participant in a mix of modified and unmodified cells.
Slide 38-

Clinical trials-other patient populations Other trials propose going into healthier patients—currently, either immunologic non-responders or patients who have quit taking ART (treatment fatigue) as participants. Some of these trials include conditioning regimens which present toxicity issues
Slide 39-

Clinical Trial Issue CCR5 deletion is unlikely to be sufficient by itself in many patients. Mutated HIV that uses the CXCR4 receptor to infect cells is a potential complication Gene therapy that blocks HIV in multiple ways will be needed.
Slide 40-

Clinical Trial Issue During cell modification, the percentage of cells modified varies, and a low yield of modified cells is a barrier. Enough cells must be modified to achieve a therapeutic effect. Hematopoietic cells are stimulated in a patient using drugs prior to apheresis to increase their number and percentage in the blood and enable more cells to be modified and returned.
Slide 41-

Gene therapy clinical trial concerns Gene therapy trials involve different gene editing/modifying techniques. Precision is key, a serious concern is “off target” editing. If the genes other than those targeted are modified (off target editing), the potential for serious adverse events exist, including cancer.
Slide 42-

Treatment Interruptions Seen as essential to allow modified cells to engraft and increase as a proportion of the cell population and to allow HIV to kill unprotected cells, and thus select for modified cells. This process carries potential risks like treatment regimen resistance

Other Gene/Cell therapy approaches T cells are taken from the peripheral blood of patients suppressed on antiretroviral therapy and presented with multiple HIV antigens before expansion Cells are functional and have broadly specific and potent HIV infected cell killing ability and the ability to suppress HIV replication Can be used with latency reversing agents as a “kill” strategy HIV: Shock and Kill.

Other approaches: Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR T cells) Engineering hematopoietic and T stem cells that attack and kill cells infected with HIV. Provides a self-renewing population of both CD8+ and CD4+ HIV-targeted T-cells resistant to direct HIV infection Also used in cancer Jacobson, Caron A., and Jerome Ritz.

New avenues: In vivo gene modification A new class of genetic engineering tools called targeted nucleases make genetic engineering of stem cells much more precise and therefore safer Deliver these reagents directly to the stem cells in the body, Uses a viral vector that specifically targets hematopoietic cells in vivo. HSC T cells
Slide 52-

Conclusions Regenerative Medicine/Cell-Gene Therapy is a rapidly maturing field offering potential for cures and therapies in several diseases and conditions Clinical trials in HIV are underway or planned A functional cure may result, but clinical benefit such as increased T cells for immunological non-responders would also help some patients greatly. And cell/gene therapy could provide the “kill” in “kick and kill”. It doesn’t have to lead to a cure by itself.
Slide 53-

Conclusions Current approaches in trial are very complex, but as the technologies develop, easier to administer and cheaper therapies will be available. Risks, such as off-target effects and the need for treatment interruptions, are high in early trials and participants should carefully consider all risks before entering a trial.
