A CAR-T Potency assay linking metabolism with CyTOF Profiling
FY 2022-23 · 2023-01-01
Summary
Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) are produced from a patient’s own Tcells in order more actively engage the immune system in cancer treatment. The CAR-T production process is highly complex and assays are not currently available to accurately predict the potency of the CAR-T cell product. This project will develop and verify a panel of protein biomarkers that measure both T-cell activation and metabolic programming in order to assay CAR-T potency using cytometry time of flight mass spectrometry (CyTOF). We will analyse Tcells and CAR-T cells from banked samples and ongoing clinical trials being conducted in Canada. This data will be linked to benchmark our novel CyTOF potency assay versus current standard metabolic and functional assays of CAR- PAGE 4 T cell potency. The outcome will be a verified potency assay that can be used to predict efficacy of CAR-T treatment

Description (French)
Les cellules T à récepteur antigénique chimérique (CAR-T) sont produites à partir des cellules T d’un patient afin d’engager plus activement le système immunitaire dans le traitement du cancer. Le processus de production des CAR-T est très complexe et il n’existe actuellement aucun test qui permet de prédire avec précision l’efficacité des cellules CAR-T produites. Ce projet mettra au point et vérifiera un panel de biomarqueurs protéiques qui mesurent à la fois l’activation des cellules T et la programmation métabolique afin d’évaluer l’activité biologique des cellules CAR-T à l’aide de la cytométrie de masse (CyTOF) et détection par spectrométrie de masse à temps de vol. Nous analyserons les cellules T et les cellules CAR-T provenant d’échantillons en banque et d’essais cliniques en cours au Canada. Ces données seront liées pour comparer notre nouvel essai d’activité biologique CyTOF aux essais métaboliques et fonctionnels standard actuels de l’activité biologique des cellules CAR-T. Le résultat sera un essai d’activité biologique vérifié qui pourra être utilisé pour prédire l’efficacité d’un traitement CAR-T.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
