A Cutting-Edge Cancer Treatment May Cause Cancer. The FDA Is Investigating

A Cutting-Edge Cancer Treatment May Cause Cancer. The FDA Is Investigating
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Scientists use harmless viruses to ferry and insert the new genetic material because of their natural ability to get inside cells. But the potential for these viruses to accidentally trigger another cancer has long been considered a theoretical risk. In its notice, the FDA said the use of these viruses may have played a role in patients developing secondary cancers.

The downside of using viruses is that they tend to drop off their genetic cargo at a random place in a person’s genome. Depending on where this new genetic material integrates, it could potentially activate a nearby cancer gene. “The concern would be that somehow the new genetic material that you put into patients’ T cells can induce cancer in that cell, perhaps by where it gets inserted in the DNA,” Porter says.

Because of this risk, the FDA currently requires that patients who receive CAR-T cell therapies be monitored for 15 years after treatment. In its notice on Tuesday, the agency suggested that “patients and clinical trial participants receiving treatment with these products should be monitored life-long for new malignancies.”

Maksim Mamonkin, an associate professor of pathology and immunology at Baylor College of Medicine who is involved in several clinical trials of CAR-T cell therapies, says he is not aware of cases in which engineered T cells became cancerous in the dozens of patients treated there. But he says no therapy is risk-free. “It doesn’t mean it isn’t possible,” he says. “It cannot be ruled out that, just by chance, the CAR gene ends up in the wrong location in the genome.”

Another explanation is that previous cancer treatments, including chemotherapy and radiation, played a role in the new T cell cancers patients developed. These treatments kill cancer cells, but they also damage DNA in healthy cells. In doing so, they can cause changes in cells that give rise to cancer later on.

“Very often, cancer is more than just one mutation, more than one insult,” Porter says. “So you may damage the DNA with prior chemotherapy or radiation, making that cell more prone. Should it have another event, then it’s well on the way already to becoming a cancer cell.”

A spokesperson for Novartis, which makes Kymriah, said that 10,000 patients have been treated with the therapy since its approval in 2017. The company has not seen any evidence to date that would change its confidence in the therapy’s risk-benefit profile. “As part of our continuous safety monitoring, Novartis has not identified a causal relationship between Kymriah and secondary malignancies,” a spokesperson told WIRED via email.

A representative for Bristol Myers Squibb, which manufactures two approved CAR-T cell therapies, Abecma and Breyanzi, wrote that the company is aware of the FDA’s investigation. More than 4,700 patients have received the therapies, either in research trials or as commercial products. “To date, BMS has not observed any CAR-positive T-cell malignancy cases and therefore, we have not found a causal relationship between our products and secondary malignancies,” the spokesperson told WIRED by email.

Johnson & Johnson, which makes another FDA-approved therapy, Carvykti, said through a spokesperson that the company is committed to the health and safety of patients. “We have shared our data with the FDA and are working with the agency as they assess this newly identified class-effect safety signal,” a spokesperson told WIRED in an email. More than 2,000 patients have been treated with Carvykti, they wrote.

In yesterday’s statement, the FDA wrote that “the benefits of these products continue to outweigh their potential risks.”

Porter agrees. “Clearly, this is concerning and we need more information,” he says. “But it’s likely to be a rare phenomenon.”
