Technology description follows. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: T-Cells Transduced With HLA A11 Restricted CT–RCC HERV–E Reactive TCR To Treat Patients With ccRCC Description of Technology: We isolated an allogeneic T cell clone from a clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) HLA–A11 patient who showed prolonged tumor regression after an allogeneic transplant. This clone was found to have tumor specific cytotoxicity, killing patient’s tumor cells in vitro. We found that antigen recognized by this clone is an HLA–A11 restricted peptide (named CT–RCC–1) and it is encoded by a novel human endogenous retrovirus-E (named CT– RCC HERV–E) whose expression was discovered to be restricted to ccRCC, but VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:42 May 15, 2017 Jkt 241001 not observed in normal tissues or other tumor types. We observed that more than 80% of ccRCC tumors express CT– RCC HERV–E provirus, which makes it an ideal target for T cell based immunotherapy. We have sequenced and cloned the genes for a T cell receptor (TCR) that specifically recognizes an HLA–A11 restricted CT– RCC–1 antigen. We then created a retroviral vector encoding this TCR as well as a truncated CD34 protein lacking the intracellular domain, which can be used to facilitate the isolation of T-cells transduced with this TCR. Phase I/II clinical trials are currently being planned in patients with metastatic ccRCC using normal patient’s T-cells transduced with this vector. Potential Commercial Applications: The vector can be used to transduce and expand normal T cells from HLA–A11 patients with metastatic ccRCC with the TCR recognizing HLA–A11-restricted CT–RCC HERV–E antigen that specifically expressed on clear cell type of kidney cancer. The transduced cytotoxic T cells can then be administered to subjects to treat or inhibit metastatic kidney cancer. Kidney cancer is responsible for approximately 12,000 deaths every year in the United States alone. As with most cancer, when detected at early stages, surgical intervention is highly effective. Despite progress in treating kidney cancer with IL–2 and inhibitors of immune checkpoints, metastatic ccRCC is generally lethal, with mean survival being less than a year. Patients with melanoma and other malignancies can now benefit from adoptive T cell transfer. One of the limitations of this approach for metastatic kidney cancer is a lack of identified tumor restricted antigens for this tumor. We show that the CT–RCC HERV–E is expressed in most ccRCC tumors but not in normal tissues which makes the antigens encoded by this provirus ideal targets for T cell-based immunotherapy of ccRCC.
