There is a pressing need for allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-immune cell therapies that are safe, effective and affordable. We conducted a phase 1/2 trial of cord blood-derived natural killer (NK) cells expressing anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor and interleukin-15 (CAR19/IL-15) in 37 patients with CD19+ B cell malignancies. The primary objectives were safety and efficacy, defined as day 30 overall response (OR). Secondary objectives included day 100 response, progression-free survival, overall survival and CAR19/IL-15 NK cell persistence. No notable toxicities such as cytokine release syndrome, neurotoxicity or graft-versus-host disease were observed. The day 30 and day 100 OR rates were 48.6% for both. The 1-year overall survival and progression-free survival were 68% and 32%, respectively. Patients who achieved OR had higher levels and longer persistence of CAR-NK cells. Receiving CAR-NK cells from a cord blood unit (CBU) with nucleated red blood cells ≤ 8 × 107 and a collection-to-cryopreservation time ≤ 24 h was the most significant predictor for superior outcome. NK cells from these optimal CBUs were highly functional and enriched in effector-related genes. In contrast, NK cells from suboptimal CBUs had upregulation of inflammation, hypoxia and cellular stress programs. Finally, using multiple mouse models, we confirmed the superior antitumor activity of CAR/IL-15 NK cells from optimal CBUs in vivo. These findings uncover new features of CAR-NK cell biolog...

Background The need for a concise and objective immune-specific gene set database is crucial in the era of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and adoptive cell cancer (ACT) treatments. It is essential for immunologists to understand treatment mechanisms, molecular distinctions between responders and non-responders, and drivers underlying better survival. However, the current lack of such gene sets hampers immunological research, as existing immune pathway databases are limited and carelessly exploited. Objectively constructed and immunologically relevant pathways provide immunologists with unbiased enrichment results and greater clinical interpretability. Methods We collected 83 Bulk-RNAseq datasets from the Molecular Signature Database C7. These datasets contain samples challenged with infections of different kinds and magnitudes, possessing yet-to-be discovered immune functions that lie beneath the transcriptomic profiles. Using non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), we identified gene sets with coordinated expression, curated robust NMF programs and merged into meta programs based on Jaccard metric. We validated the clinical utilities of these gene sets with Cancer Genome Atlas Program (TCGA) pan-cancer, a melanoma ICB cohort and a 10X Genomics Visium FFPE Human Breast Cancer spatial slide. Results 19 lymphoid and 9 myeloid novel gene sets were constructed (table 1), describing diverse range of immune functions. We confirmed their functions with relevant single cell RNA...
