Chimeric antigen receptors containing CD19/CD22 or CD22/CD19 antigen binding domains are disclosed. Nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, antigen binding fragments, and pharmaceutical compositions, relating to the chimeric antigen receptors are also disclosed. Methods of treating or preventing cancer in a subject, and methods of making chimeric antigen receptor T cells are also disclosed.

The invention provides compositions and methods for treating diseases associated with expression of CD20 or CD22. The invention also relates to chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) specific to CD20 or CD22, vectors encoding the same, and recombinant T or natural killer (NK) cells comprising the CD20 CAR or CD22 CAR. The invention also includes methods of administering a genetically modified T cell or NK cell expressing a CAR that comprises a CD20 or CD22 binding domain.

Disclosed herein are switches for regulating the activity of a chimeric antigen receptor effector cells (CAR-ECs). The switches generally comprise a chimeric antigen receptor-interacting domain (CAR-ID) and a target interacting domain (TID). The switch may further comprise a linker. Further disclosed herein are methods of using the switches for the treatment of one or more conditions or diseases in a subject in need thereof.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for treating diseases associated with expression of CD19 and/or CD22, e.g., by administering a recombinant T cell or natural killer (NK) cell comprising a CD22 CAR and a CD19 CAR as described herein. The disclosure also relates to CAR molecules specific to CD22 and/or CD19, methods of making a cell comprising the same and vectors encoding the same.

The disclosure describes T cells that express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising T cells and methods of making and using such T cells. Particularly, this disclosure describes T cells expressing a first CAR that binds to a first antigen and a second CAR comprising a CD3 intracellular signaling domain that binds to a second antigen, and methods of use in treating cancers, such as solid tumors and hematological malignancies.

Provided are chimeric receptors for engineering cells for adoptive therapy, including T cells, and the genetically engineered cells. In some embodiments, the chimeric receptors, such as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) are modified in a junction region by one or more amino acid modifications such that peptide fragments of such region exhibit a lower binding affinity for a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and/or the region exhibits reduced immunogenicity, including following administration to a subject. In some aspects, also provided are methods and compositions for engineering and producing cells expressing such chimeric receptors, compositions containing the cells, and method for their administration to subjects. In some embodiments, features of the chimeric receptors and engineered cells containing the chimeric receptors result in methods that provide for increased or improved activity, efficacy and/or persistence.

The present invention relates to an engineered immune cell endowed with CD22 Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CD22 CAR) with a deletion in the TRAC gene that is able to redirect immune cell specificity and reactivity toward selected tumor cells. The engineered immune cells endowed with such CARs are particularly suited for treating relapsed refractory CD22 expressing cancers.

The present invention relates to a cell which co-expresses: (i) a first chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) at the cell surface, comprising an antigen-binding domain which binds to CD19; (ii) a second CAR at the cell surface, comprising an antigen-binding domain which binds to CD22; (iii) dominant negative SHP2 (dSHP2); and (iv) dominant negative TGF receptor II (dnTGFRII).
