• Progression-free and overall survivals of patients receiving CD19-specific CAR+ T cells following autolo-gous and allogeneic HSCT continue to show significant benefits over historical controls of HSCT alone.2,3,4
• CAR+ T cells are detected by ddPCR and flow cytometry as long as 4+ years after infusion in autologous HSCT recipients and 2+ years in allogeneic HSCT recipients
• Persistence of T cells is noted, even as such patients have reconstituted their B-cell compartment. Further follow-up will evaluate continued persistence of CAR+ T cells and B cells.
• Patients can remain in CR for years after recovery of normal B-cell counts. • Approximately, 44 years^ of cumulative follow up in surviving recipients support the safety of infusing
CAR+ T cells modified with the SB system. • SB-modified CAR+ T cells demonstrated to be safe, further supporting non-viral gene transfer in future
clinical studies including our 2018 planned 3rd generation point-of-care trial to very rapidly manufacture (< 2 days) CD19-specific T cells.

• Multi-year follow up demonstrates encouraging PFS and OS.
• Survival appears longer than data reported for autologous (compared with 49% 3 year PFS)2,
allogeneic (compared with 1-year 20-34% OS)3, and haploidentical (haplo) allogeneic (compared
with 3 year 37% OS and 31% DFS)4 HSCT without infusion of CAR+ T cells.

Patients subsequently enrolled onto Long-Term

could be tested annually for the persistence of

CAR Structure: Depicted as homodimer of CD19-specific
CAR CD19RCD28. CD19 scfv is appended from T-cell
surface by IgG4 Fc region and signals through chimeric
CD28 and CD3 endodomains.
Long-term persistence of CAR+ T cells: Autologous and allogeneic HSCT patients receiving genetically modified T cells from the 1st generation SB trial (NCT00968760, NCT01497184) were enrolled in LTFU study (NCT01492036).
PBMC were isolated from peripheral blood collected from these patients at their yearly visits and analyzed for the presence of CAR+ T cells using ddPCR and flow cytometry. Presence of CAR by ddPCR is shown through out the
follow up period. Lower limit of quantification is 32 copies/g of DNA. Grayed area represents previously published data.1 Dot-plots depict presence of CAR and B-cells (CD19, CD20) in viable (CD45+) lymphocytes at the last
time point for each patient circled in red. Results from representative patients are shown.

Disclosures
• Non-viral gene transfer – Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposon/transposase system – used to stably express a CD19-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR, designated CD19RCD28) that signals via chimeric CD28 and CD3-zeta
• T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were manufactured by electro-transfer of SB-derived DNA plasmids coding for transposon (CAR) and transposase (SB11) and propagation on irradiated feeder cells derived from K-562 genetically modified to co-express CD19 and co-stimulatory molecules and thus serve as activating and propagating cells (AaPC)
• First-generation clinical trials using SB modified T cells as an adjuvant therapy to hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) have been reported1
• Twenty-six patients with advanced non-Hodgkin lymphoma (n=9) or acute lymphoblastic leukemia (n=17) underwent autologous (n=7) or allogeneic (n=19) HSCT. Patients were subsequently enrolled onto a LTFU study, to be followed for up to 15 years. During this time, patients could be tested annually for the persistence of genetically modified T cells using droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) and flow cytometry.
