Nothing last for ever5y since diagnosis
Min Myelom resa
• Diagnos i September 2014 efter ca. 1,5 år av symptom, främst ont i ryggen.
• Jag fick stiga av min älskade cykel under hela 2014.
• 2015 kantades av en hel del bakslag och osäkerhet efter stamcellstransplantation.
• Deltagit i en studie (2016) samt deltar i en ytterligare forskiningsstudie (2018). Båda har haft fin effekt, särskilt den senare.
• Nuvarande behandling sker var 14e dag på Huddinge Sjukhus med fullgott resultat. Tidsåtgång ca. 3 timmar
What are cell and gene therapies
• Cell Therapies - Administration of whole living cells to a patient for therapeutic benefit.
• Autologous – Cells derived from same patient
• Allogeneic – Cells derived from donors
• Examples: Kymriah (Licensed in US, pending in EU); Yescarta (Licensed in US, pending in EU) are autologous gene-modified cell therapies (CAR-Ts)
• Gene Therapies – Modify expression of, or repair damage to, abnormal genes for therapeutic benefit.
Successful application to a wide range of previously untreatable and rare diseases

Common to all is the BCMA-B-cell maturation antigen.Actually, BCMA, it is the bases for CAR-T therapies
Could T-cells stimulation without CAR-T work?

BCMA, B-cell maturation antigen; DLBCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma; DLT, dose-limiting toxicity; FTIH, first-time-in-human; IV, intravenous;
MM, multiple myeloma.
§ Overall, 38 patients were evaluated in Part 1 – no DLTs were observed
§ Part 2: Expansion
§ Cohort 1: relapsed/refractory MM (N=35; enrollment complete)
§ Cohort 2: BCMA-positive relapsed DLBCL or follicular lymphoma
§ Expansion dose: 3.4 mg/kg
§ Schedule: 1h IV, once every 3 weeks
§ Treatment duration: up to 16 cycles (up to 1 year)

Belantamab Mafodotin Efficacy in Multiple Myeloma:
ORR From DREAMM-1 Study
BCMA, B-cell maturation antigen; CI, confidence interval; CR, complete response; dara, daratumumab; IMiD, immunomodulatory drug; ORR, overall response rate; PI, proteasome inhibitor; PR, partial response; sCR, stringent complete response; SD, stable disease; VGPR, very good partial response.Trudel S, et. al. Blood Cancer J 2019; 9(4): 37.
Patients previously treated with dara (n=14)
• ORR=42.9% (95% CI [17.7%, 71.1%])
Patients refractory to IMiD+PI (n=32)
• ORR=56.3% (95% CI [37.7%, 73.6%])
Patients previously treated with dara and
refractory to IMiD+PI (n=13)
• ORR=38.5% (95% CI [13.9%, 68.4%])
Overall ORR = 60.0% 95% CI (42.1%, 76.1%); n=35
sCR (n=2), CR (n=3), VGPR (n=14), PR (n=2)
Patients enrolled regardless of BCMA expression levels
No dose-limiting toxicities observed in dose-finding phase

Durable Responses and Has Manageable Toxicity Profile
AE, adverse event; CI, confidence interval; IRR, infusion-related reaction; N/A, not available; Q, quartile
Trudel S, et. al. Blood Cancer J 2019; 9(4): 37.
Progression-free survival (months)
Belantamab mafodotin was well tolerated and side effects were manageable
• Corneal events (69%) and thrombocytopenia (63%) emerged as the most frequent AEs and reasons for dose modification:
– Corneal events are mostly low grade (14% Grade 3), manageable with steroid eye drops, dose reductions and interruptions
• IRRs occurred in 29% of patients (without pre-medication)
Duration of response (months)
Progression-free survival Duration of response
Median (95% CI) - 12.0 mos. (3.1, -)
Median (95% CI) - 14.3 mos. (10.6, -)
Control of Immune Responses via CD28
The CD28 signaling pathway are important participants in a very complex group of regulatory events that
maintain immunologic homeostasis.
Experimental manipulation of these pathways is being employed with increasing frequency to optimize
immune responses to various diseases.
Activation of a resting T cell requires two complementing signals. Engagement of the T cell receptor must be
accompanied by a second signal that results from the ligation of receptors on the T cell with either soluble
factors, such as IL-2, or cell-surface molecules on the antigen-presenting cell.

How about infusion of autologous immune cells
• Alone or in combination with antibodies?
cGMP certified expansion process
ACP-001
• First-in-man, Phase I
• Open, single arm study
• Primary objective: • Safety and tolerability
• Secondary objective: • Effect on serum Ig levels
• Inclusion: • MM patients eligible for
ASCT
• 3 escalating infusions/patient
• 106, 5X107 and 108
cells/kg
• Evaluation: • 4 weeks after infusion,• 6 months follow up.

Mina reflektioner
• Idag mår jag lika bra som innan jag blev sjuk.
• Jag har haft tur i oturen – Tidpunkten för min diagnos verkar vara vara väl “timad” ---Forskningmediciner verkar komma i precis rätt tid
• Vårdpersonalens bemötande har gett mig stor flexibilitet i min vardag – Jag har möjlighet att leva ett normal liv – Tack!
• Min egen träning och ett aktivt liv hjälper mig att passera eventuella bi-effekter. Det hjälper mig att se möjligheter istället för hinder.
