Background

Lisocabtagene maraleucel is a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, similar to brexucabtagene autoleucel and axicabtagene ciloleucel.8,10 Lisocabtagene maraleucel is a genetically modified autologous T-cell therapy that targets CD19, the B-lymphocyte surface antigen B4.10

CAR T-cell therapy has changed the treatment of B-cell lymphomas, significantly increasing survival rates over standard therapy.8 However, data on the efficacy of CAR T-cell therapies on less severe forms of B-cell lymphoma are lacking.8 Despite the adverse reactions, the majority of patients given lisocabtagene maraleucel reported an overall increase in quality of life over a 1 year period.8

Lisocabtagene maraleucel was granted FDA approval on 5 February 2021 9 and EC approval on 5 April 2022.12 It was later granted Health Canada approval on 6 May 2022.13

Pharmacology

Indication

Lisocabtagene maraleucel is indicated to treat adult patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) not otherwise specified (including DLBCL arising from indolent lymphoma), high-grade B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, and follicular lymphoma grade 3B, who meet one of the following criteria:10,11

  • refractory disease to first-line chemoimmunotherapy or relapse within 12 months of first-line chemoimmunotherapy
  • refractory disease to first-line chemoimmunotherapy or relapse after first-line chemoimmunotherapy and are not eligible for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) due to comorbidities or age
  • relapsed or refractory disease after 2 or more lines of systemic therapy

It is also indicated in several other cancers, including in:10

  • adult patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) who have received ≥2 prior lines of therapy, including a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor and a B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitor

Pharmacodynamics

Lisocabtagene maraleucel is a CAR T-cell therapy indicated to treat adults with relapsed or refractory large B-cell lymphoma after ≥2 systemic therapies, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, high-grade B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, and grade 3B follicular lymphoma.10 It has a long duration of action as it is detected in patients up to a year after infusion.10 Patients should be counselled regarding the risk of cytokine release syndrome, false-positive HIV tests, effects on their ability to drive, hypersensitivity, infection, cytopenia, hyogammaglobulinemia, and secondary malignancies.10

Mechanism of action

Lisocabtagene maraleucel is chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy that targets CD19, also known as the B-lymphocyte surface antigen B4.10 The CAR is composed of an FMC63 monoclonal antibody single chain variable fragment, IgG4 hinge region, CD28 transmembrane domain, 4-1BB costimulatory domain, and CD3ζ activation domain.10 FMC63 is an IgG2a mouse monoclonal antibody that targets CD19.1 The IgG4 hinge region can interact with Fcγ receptors to modulate the response of hematopoietic cells.2,3 The CD28 transmembrane domain can stimulate the activity or tolerance of T-cells.4 4-1BB enhances cytotoxic T-cell activity as well as the production of interferon-γ.5 The CD23ζ cytoplasmic domain mediates T-cell activation by CD2, a T-cell surface adhesion molecule.6

Absorption

Lisocabtagene maraleucel reaches a median Cmax of 23928.2 copies/µg with a median AUC of 213730 copies*day/µg.7 The median time to peak expansion of T-cells was 12 days.7,10

Compared to non-responders, patients with a partial or complete response showed a 3.55-fold increase in Cmax and a 2.72-fold increase in AUC.7 Compared to non-responders, patients with a higher baseline tumor burden showed a 2.46-fold increase in Cmax, patients with cytokine release syndrome showed a 2.29-fold increase, and patients with neurological events showed a 3.34-fold increase.7

Binding to CD19 induces the activity of the CAR T-cell to lyse the targeted cell.
General Function
Functions as a coreceptor for the B-cell antigen receptor complex (BCR) on B-lymphocytes (PubMed:29523808). Decreases the threshold for activation of downstream signaling pathways and for triggering B-cell responses to antigens (PubMed:1373518, PubMed:16672701, PubMed:2463100). Activates signaling pathways that lead to the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+) stores (PubMed:12387743, PubMed:16672701, PubMed:9317126, PubMed:9382888). Is not required for early steps during B cell differentiation in the blood marrow (PubMed:9317126). Required for normal differentiation of B-1 cells (By similarity). Required for normal B cell differentiation and proliferation in response to antigen challenges (PubMed:1373518, PubMed:2463100). Required for normal levels of serum immunoglobulins, and for production of high-affinity antibodies in response to antigen challenge (PubMed:12387743, PubMed:16672701, PubMed:9317126)
