Cimeio Therapeutics, a biotechnology company leading the field of epitope shielding, is presenting data for its CD52 program during this week’s Annual Meeting of the American Society of Cell & Gene Therapy (ASGCT) in Baltimore.

Key Points: 
  • Cimeio Therapeutics, a biotechnology company leading the field of epitope shielding, is presenting data for its CD52 program during this week’s Annual Meeting of the American Society of Cell & Gene Therapy (ASGCT) in Baltimore.
  • The abstract is titled “Molecular Shielding of CD52 Retains Expression, Anti-Phagocytic Don’t Eat Me Function and Protects from Alemtuzumab-Mediated Depletion.”
    The study is the first showing that T cells expressing an engineered CD52 can be effectively shielded from Alemtuzumab-mediated depletion, while maintaining the general features of this receptor.
  • Cimeio's research team also showed for the first time that CD52 mediates an anti-phagocytotic ‘Don’t Eat Me’ signal, which is retained by the engineering.
  • “We are excited to explore the full potential of our engineered CD52 receptor in the future.

To address these challenges, Cellectis developed UCART20x22, its first allogeneic dual CAR T-cell product candidate targeting two validated antigens commonly expressed in B-cell malignancies, CD20 and CD22, and whose expression is preserved after CD19 CAR T-cell treatment.

Key Points: 
  • To address these challenges, Cellectis developed UCART20x22, its first allogeneic dual CAR T-cell product candidate targeting two validated antigens commonly expressed in B-cell malignancies, CD20 and CD22, and whose expression is preserved after CD19 CAR T-cell treatment.
  • Moreover, UCART20x22 is developed to be available off-the-shelf and to offer a solution for patients whose T-cells are not functional or for which autologous manufacturing fails.
  • UCART20x22 is Cellectis’ first product candidate fully designed, developed and manufactured in-house at Cellectis.

The data show that adding alemtuzumab to the FC regimen was associated with improved LD and significantly higher UCART123 cell expansion, which correlated with improved activity.

Key Points: 
  • The data show that adding alemtuzumab to the FC regimen was associated with improved LD and significantly higher UCART123 cell expansion, which correlated with improved activity.
  • However, additional physiological and biological barriers imposed by the hostile tumor microenvironment has limited the ability to target solid tumors.
  • This glimpse of success also demonstrated that we need to be able to creatively customize and equip CAR T-cells to target these tumors.
  • By carefully choosing a range of gene and cell engineering approaches, Cellectis can develop CAR T-cells focused on unmet medical needs with a high level of efficiency for gene editing and targeted-integration.
