On November 3, 2022 ATCC, the world’s premier biological materials management and standards organization, reported a new line of products, CAR-T Target luciferase reporter cell lines, that will support immuno-oncology (IO) discovery and development of novel immunotherapies (Press release, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), NOV 3, 2022, View Source [SID1234623024]). These models have a high endogenous expression of relevant chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T target antigens such as HER2, CD19, and CD20. These new IO tools are comprised of both hematological cancer and solid tumor cell lines that express a luciferase reporter.

"At ATCC, our mission is to offer the scientific community credible biological products that support incredible achievements in basic science, drug discovery, translational medicine and public health," said Raymond H. Cypess, D.V.M., Ph.D., chairman and CEO of ATCC. "We believe that these innovative CAR-T target cell lines will help mitigate some of the formidable roadblocks that IO researchers encounter in their fight against cancer."

These new IO tools alleviate many of the challenges in evaluating the ex vivo biofunction of CAR-T cells. Coming from highly authenticated and characterized human ATCC cell lines eliminates questions of cell provenance, as well as potential donor-to-donor and cross-species issues. In addition, these lines stably express a sensitive, robust, and easy-to-use reporter system and have been shown in a recent study to display dose-dependent targeting.

"As IO is one of the fastest growing sectors in cancer research and therapeutics, ATCC continues to prioritize the development of solutions to support the global effort in advancing this field," said Fang Tian, Ph.D., Director of Biological Content.

ATCC supports cancer research and drug discovery with thousands of human and animal cancer cell lines for a better understanding of tumor biology, cancer genomics, tumor biomarkers, and advancing novel therapeutics. In addition to providing the most commonly used historical tumor cell lines, ATCC develops genetically engineered cell lines, tumor organoids, reporter cell lines, and drug-resistant cell lines for the global scientific community.

ATCC will be showcasing its immuno-oncology research tools at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) (Free SITC Whitepaper) 2022 Annual Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts, November 8 through November 12, 2022. At booth 313, they will present the poster, "Luciferase reporter cancer cell lines facilitate CAR-T development."

On November 3, 2022 CivaTech Oncology Inc., reported CivaSheet significantly boosts outcomes for borderline resectable and locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients (Press release, CivaTech Oncology, NOV 3, 2022, View Source [SID1234623021]). CivaSheet, an implantable, targeted, shielded radiation device delivers an aggressive dose immediately to the pancreas region following surgical resection. Studies have been conducted in multi-institutional settings, garnering support from the NIH/NCI and SBIR programs. This is the first analysis of outcomes from one of the participating institutions.

Between 2017-2020, 19 patients received 3-6 months of chemotherapy, radiation (either conventionally fractionated or SBRT) followed by surgery with CivaSheet placement, mostly prospectively on the Phase 1/2 clinical trial (CivaTech Oncology). During the same time period, data were collected for 16 patients matched by demographics, tumor and treatment factors, who did not have CivaSheet placed.

Patients followed in this evaluation were all treated at Virginia Commonwealth University(VCU), Massey Cancer Center, and were followed until date of death or last follow up and assessed for local control, disease-free survival, cause-specific survival and overall survival.

Cox proportional hazards models indicated that treatment with CivaSheet was associated with substantially longer disease-free survival. As shown at the right, approximately 50% of CivaSheet patients survived 2 years without recurrence and at least 30% of patients were alive without recurrence at almost 5 years. In contrast, no non-CivaSheet patients survived two years without recurrence or death from disease.

"These data are strongly compelling and demonstrate significant impact on the increased survival of pancreatic cancer patients," commented Suzanne Babcock, Chairman of CivaTech Oncology. Patients have no device related toxicity and report a better quality of life without having disease recurrence and subsequent treatment.

VCU radiation oncologist, Emma Fields MD, is excited by these results and noted "many of my patients who had CivaSheet placed are alive and disease free in long term follow up. I think this is very exciting and can offer hope to our patients."
