Provided herein are chimeric receptors, including chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), comprising BCMA-binding molecules, including anti-BCMA antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, including heavy chain variable (V) regions and single-chain antibody fragments, and encoding polynucleotides. In some embodiments, the anti-BCMA chimeric receptors specifically bind to BCMA. Among the anti-BCMA-binding molecules are human antibodies, including those that compete for binding to BCMA with reference antibodies, including a non-human reference antibody. Also provided are genetically engineered cells expressing the CARs and uses thereof including in adoptive cell therapy.

Chimeric antigen receptors specific for B-cell maturation antigen and encoding polynucleotides

The present disclosure relates to methods, compositions and uses involving immunotherapies and inhibitors of a target protein tyrosine kinase in which the kinase is not IL-2-inducible T cell kinase (ITK) and/or is selected from Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), tec protein tyrosine kinase (TEC), BMX non-receptor tyrosine kinase (Etk), TXK tyrosine kinase (TXK) and/or receptor tyro-sine-protein kinase ErbB4 (ErbB4). The provided methods, compositions and uses include administration of one or more such inhibitor with another agent, such as an immunotherapeutic agent targeting T cells and/or genetically engineered T cells, such as CAR-expressing T cells. Also provided are methods of manufacturing engineered cells, cells, compositions, methods of administration, nucleic acids, articles of manufacture and kits. In some aspects, features of the methods and cells provide for improved activity, efficacy, persistence, expansion and/or proliferation of T cells for adoptive cell therapy or endogenous T cells recruited by immunotherapeutic agents.

Methods and compositions for use of therapeutic T cells in combination with kinase inhibitors

Provided herein are chimeric receptors, such as chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), comprising BCMA-binding molecules, such as anti-BCMA antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof, such as heavy chain variable (V) regions and single-chain antibody fragments, and encoding polynucleotides. In some embodiments, the anti-BCMA chimeric receptors specifically bind to BCMA. Among the anti-BCMA-binding molecules are human antibodies, including those that compete for binding to BCMA with reference antibodies, such as a non-human reference antibody. Also provided are genetically engineered cells expressing the CARs and uses thereof such as in adoptive cell therapy.
