Abstract
The mission of the Cambridge Stem Cell Institute (CSCI) is to transform the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease through a deep understanding of the mechanisms regulating normal and pathological stem cells. Outstanding research scientists, technology specialists and doctors work side-by-side in a world-leading centre of excellence. In 2018 all the members of CSCI, currently based at several sites across the University, will come together in a purpose-built building situated in the heart of the University’s Biomedical Campus.
Together, we will apply pioneering methods and technologies to respond to three
driving questions:
• How do normal stem cells behave in healthy tissues?
• How do abnormal stem cells contribute to disease?
• How can we use this knowledge to deliver stem cell based treatments?

Technical Summary
Stem and progenitor cells are essential for the maintenance of metazoan tissues. Their dysfunction underlies diverse human diseases and their manipulation provides enormous therapeutic possibilities. The Cambridge Stem Cell Institute (CSCI) is a world-leading centre for stem cell research. Its mission is to transform the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease through a deep understanding of the mechanisms regulating stem and progenitor cells, both normal and pathological.
In 2018 CSCI investigators will come together in a new purpose-built building on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus adjacent to Addenbrookes Hospital. A key strategy is to embed biological, clinical and physical scientists operating across disparate tissues and at multiple scales, thus allowing commonalities and differences to be explored in an cohesive and inter-disciplinary manner. A network of affiliated PIs will provide bridges to basic and disease-focused institutes throughout Cambridge and will ensure that CSCI represents the heart of a vibrant stem cell community. Importantly a critical mass of clinician scientists will create synergistic interactions between basic scientists and those driven by disease-focused questions, thus ensuring that CSCI is fully integrated with its clinical environment and empowered to pursue its translational goals.

Title | A Pattern for Progress (2019) by Harold Offeh |
Description | Harold Offeh brought together people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their carers, with scientists researching this neurological disease. Through a series of ceramic workshops, participants shared their experiences of MS and produced the tiles converted into a vinyl 'wallpaper' by the artist. An accompanying film captures their stories. Commissioned by the Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute Public Engagement programme, in partnership with the MS Society and Kettle's Yard. |

Title | Let The Eye Be Substituted For The Sun (2019) by Victoria Morton |
Description | This work was created through time spent in laboratories talking to scientists about their research. The artist was fascinated by the technology used to cultivate and visualise cells at the microscopic level, and hopes the artwork reflects these complex processes, whilst allowing the mind to wander and focus at the same time. Commissioned by the Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute Public Engagement programme for the Jeffrey Cheah Biomedical Centre, in partnership with Kettle's Yard. |

Title | The Night the Mountains Moved (2020) and Futuramic Unknown (2020) by Anna Brownsted |
Description | Anna Brownsted created this work in response to a project connecting Blood Cancer UK patient ambassadors and stem cell researchers. Together, they explored experiences of 'the unknown' in living with blood cancer, the challenges of research, and the Covid-19 pandemic. The artist drew inspiration for this collage from animations created by project participants using photographs from National Geographic published in 1960 - the year Blood Cancer UK was founded - and compiled in the accompanying film Futuramic Unknown. Commissioned by the Wellcome-MRC Cambridge Stem Cell Institute Public Engagement programme, in partnership with Blood Cancer UK and Kettle's Yard. |

Title | A Dose Escalation Study to Investigate the Safety, Pharmacokinetics (PK), Pharmacodynamics (PD) and Clinical Activity of GSK525762 in Subjects With Relapsed, Refractory Hematologic Malignancies - Brian Huntly |
Description | This is an open-label repeat dose, multicenter, 2-part study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for GSK525762 given once-daily (QD) orally. Part 1 of the study is a dose escalation phase to select the recommended Part 2 dose (RP2D) based on the safety, PK, and PD profiles observed after oral administration of GSK525762. Eligible subjects with select relapsed refractory hematological malignancies (acute myeloid leukemia [AML], non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma [NHL]and multiple myeloma [MM]), will be enrolled in the QD and/or BID dosing cohorts until a MTD is established. Subjects may continue treatment in the study until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. . Upon determination of the MTD, twice daily (BID) dosing cohorts may be opened to collect additional safety data and evaluate the preliminary efficacy of GSK525762 administered BID. Part 2 will explore clinical activity at the MTD or RP2D; separate expansion cohorts will be planned for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL, including an exploratory sub-cohort of subjects with myc and B-Cell Leukemia (BCL)2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements/overexpression [double- and triple-hit lymphoma]), and multiple myeloma (MM). This is the first study of this agent to be conducted in subjects with these relapsed and/or refractory hematological malignancies for which no standard therapies are anticipated to result in a durable remission. |

Impact | The primary objective is to establish the safety and tolerability of bexarotene in the treatment of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. Update from paper PMID: 34418398 DOI: 10.1016/S1474-4422(21)00179-4 Background: Progressive disability in multiple sclerosis occurs because CNS axons degenerate as a late consequence of demyelination. In animals, retinoic acid receptor RXR-gamma agonists promote remyelination. We aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of a non-selective retinoid X receptor agonist in promoting remyelination in people with multiple sclerosis. Methods: This randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, phase 2a trial (CCMR One) recruited patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis from two centres in the UK. Eligible participants were aged 18-50 years and had been receiving dimethyl fumarate for at least 6 months. Via a web-based system run by an independent statistician, participants were randomly assigned (1:1), by probability-weighted minimisation using four binary factors, to receive 300 mg/m2 of body surface area per day of oral bexarotene or oral placebo for 6 months. Participants, investigators, and outcome assessors were masked to treatment allocation. MRI scans were done at baseline and at 6 months. The primary safety outcome was the number of adverse events and withdrawals attributable to bexarotene. The primary efficacy outcome was the patient-level change in mean lesional magnetisation transfer ratio between baseline and month 6 for lesions that had a baseline magnetisation transfer ratio less than the within-patient median. We analysed the primary safety outcome in the safety population, which comprised participants who received at least one dose of their allocated treatment. We analysed the primary efficacy outcome in the intention-to-treat population, which comprised all patients who completed the study. This study is registered in the ISRCTN Registry, 14265371, and has been completed. Findings: Between Jan 17, 2017, and May 17, 2019, 52 participants were randomly assigned to receive either bexarotene (n=26) or placebo (n=26). Participants who received bexarotene had a higher mean number of adverse events (6·12 [SD 3·09]; 159 events in total) than did participants who received placebo (1·63 [SD 1·50]; 39 events in total). All bexarotene-treated participants had at least one adverse event, which included central hypothyroidism (n=26 vs none on placebo), hypertriglyceridaemia (n=24 vs none on placebo), rash (n=13 vs one on placebo), and neutropenia (n=10 vs none on placebo). Five (19%) participants on bexarotene and two (8%) on placebo discontinued the study drug due to adverse events. One episode of cholecystitis in a placebo-treated participant was the only serious adverse event. The change in mean lesional magnetisation transfer ratio was not different between the bexarotene group (0·25 percentage units [pu; SD 0·98]) and the placebo group (0·09 pu [0·84]; adjusted bexarotene-placebo difference 0·16 pu, 95% CI -0·39 to 0·71; p=0·55). Interpretation: We do not recommend the use of bexarotene to treat patients with multiple sclerosis because of its poor tolerability and negative primary efficacy outcome. However, statistically significant effects were seen in some exploratory MRI and electrophysiological analyses, suggesting that other retinoid X receptor agonists might have small biological effects that could be investigated in further studies. |
Title | ADIPOA-2 Clinical Trial - Andrew McCaskie |
Description | Osteoarthritis (OA) is an incurable and debilitating disease. It has been identified as the world's eleventh highest contributor to disability and affects over 70 million Europeans. There is currently no treatment to prevent progression of the disease. In the absence of effective pharmacological, biological or surgical treatment options, cellular therapies using mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have emerged as potential treatments for this condition. Autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs) are an attractive option for these cellular therapies because of the abundance of tissue, high frequency of MSCs, and minimally invasive harvest procedure. The EU consortium ADIPOA has shown in a 'first in man' 2-centre Phase I safety study that intraarticular injection of a single dose of autologous ASCs to the knee (18 patients, 12 month follow-up) was well-tolerated, had no adverse effects, and resulted in an improvement in pain score and functional outcome. ADIPOA-2 will build on the work of ADIPOA to deliver a large-scale clinical trial in regenerative medicine for OA. The purpose of the project is to design and implement a phase IIb study to assess the safety and efficacy of autologous (patient-derived) ACSs in the treatment of advanced OA of the knee. The cells will be prepared from samples of adipose tissue harvested from patients by lipoaspiration. ADIPOA-2 will carry out a multi-centre, randomized clinical trial comparing the use of culture-expanded, autologous adult ASCs in subjects with knee OA with injected Hyaluronan (another widely used therapeutic approach for knee degeneration). This study will involve two major elements: the production of consistent batches of high-quality autologous ASCs under GMP-compliant conditions and the delivery of these cell doses to patients in a trial which will meet all national and European regulatory and ethical standards and which will provide a definitive demonstration of the safety and efficacy of ASCs as a therapy for osteoarthritis. |

Title | An Open Label Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Neural Allo-Transplantation with Fetal Ventral Mesencephalic Tissue in Patients with Parkinson's disease |
Description | The Transeuro Transplant study is a trial which will involve grafting foetal tissue into the brain of patients with Parkinson's disease, who are already been followed in the observational study. The tissue inserted in the brain is to help replace and rebuild lost dopamine from the brain due to Parkinson's disease. Only 20 patients will be selected for the transplant. |

Current Stage Of Development | Early clinical assessment |
Year Development Stage Completed | 2015 |
Development Status | Under active development/distribution |
Clinical Trial? | Yes |
Impact | Clinical trials of cell therapy in PD patients were first performed in Lund in the late 1980s, followed by a number of similar, small trials in other European and North American centres. These initial studies performed on small groups of advanced PD patients were all open label but firmly established safety of the procedure. The results obtained in these trials have shown that the grafted dopaminergic [DA] neurons can survive and function long-term, over more than 10 years, and that some patients have shown clear clinical benefits, especially with respect to their bradykinesia and rigidity, with reductions in L-dopa requirements. Using functional imaging it has also been shown that the grafted DA neurons can restore striatal DA release and provide a sustained re-activation of motor cortical areas, i.e. key areas that were underactive prior to grafting. Post-mortem studies have shown excellent long-term survival of the grafted DA neurons, notwithstanding the observation that some of the long-term surviving transplants (at 12-15 years after grafting) have now been shown to contain signs of PD-related pathologies, i.e. neuronal Lewy-bodies and alpha-synuclein positive inclusions in the grafts. However, such changes have been observed only in some and not in all patients and when seen the extent of the pathology is limited to a small number of the grafted DA cells and the clinical consequence, if any, not known. However, the outcomes of two NIH sponsored double blind placebo controlled trials, which published their main findings in 2001 and 2003, have raised major concerns. In both these trials the grafted patients did not show any significant improvement overall compared to sham-operated controls at 1 and 2 years post grafting. Furthermore, a significant number of patients in both trials developed GIDs, which in some cases were so severe that further neurosurgery was needed to remedy the situation. The reasons for the variable, and overall poor, outcome in these trials, including the generation of GIDs, have been the subject of much debate but have recently centred on three key elements, with an additional possible fourth element: The selection of patients in terms of clinical phenotype, disease stage and pattern of striatal dopaminergic denervation at the time of grafting; The differences in immunosuppressive regimes and the risk that incomplete immunosuppression in combination with the use of solid graft methods may lead to the development of detrimental immune/inflammatory reactions at the graft site with compromise of the grafted dopamine cell function; The mode of engraftment and differences in graft cell survival, and the risk for inhomogeneous delivery of dopaminergic neurons and the generation of potentially dyskinesia-inducing "patchy" innervations in the host striatum; A final possible element is the composition of the grafted tissue and the ratio of serotoninergic to dopaminergic neurons within the graft. There is emerging evidence that serotoninergic neurons can release dopamine in a relatively unregulated fashion given they lack transporters for it, and as such may use L-dopa as a false transmitter which may not only underlie the development of L-dopa induced dyskinesia's but may also contribute to GIDs. Failure of the NIH trials to demonstrate any overall clinical benefits in the grafted patients, and the unexpected and worrisome development of GIDs in a significant number of patients in these trials has represented a major hurdle for the future development of cell based therapies for PD and it is in this and related areas that this project seeks to move the field forward and go beyond the current state of the art for this treatment approach. This project has gathered together all the available expertise in this area to resolve or reduce the risk of the previous complications seen with VM transplants in patients with PD. We will conduct a new round of clinical trials, involving a step-by-step optimisation of all technical aspects of the grafting procedure and patient selection and assessment, in order to improve clinical efficiency and consistency, in the absence of troublesome dyskinesia's. |

Description | This study is an international, multi-center, non-comparative, phase IIIb, treatment optimization study of daily 80 mg asciminib (as either as 40 mg BID of asciminib or as 80 mg QD) in adult patients previously treated with 2 or more TKIs. Up to 30 patients who are intolerant to ongoing TKI treatment but in major molecular response (MMR) will also be allowed to enter the trial. Enrollment will be used to have a balance in the allocation of treatment into either asciminib 40 mg b.i.d. or 80 mg q.d. Although this trial will not be powered to compare both treatments, descriptive data from both treatment groups is expected to provide additional insight into the optimal patient management In patients not achieving MMR at 48 weeks or losing the response after the week 48 up to week 108, asciminib dose may be escalated to 200 mg q.d. if in the investigator's opinion the patient may benefit from the escalation. In addition, there must not be any grade 3 or 4 toxicity while on therapy, or persistent grade 2 toxicity, possibly related to asciminib and unresponsive to optimal management. The planned duration of treatment is up to 144 weeks unless patient discontinue from treatment due to unacceptable toxicity, disease progression and/or if treatment is discontinued at the discretion of the investigator or the participant prior to week 144. |

UKCRN/ISCTN Identifier | ISRCTN56240656 |
Impact | Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive, genetic, neurodegenerative disorder that affects approximately 5,700 people in the UK, with 5 times as many at risk of having inherited the gene. There are currently only limited symptomatic therapies for HD, and these largely target only the motor features. Consequentially, the impact on quality of life and the financial burden of HD is high, with a mean societal cost of £21,605 per person per year, growing to approximately £100,000 when residential care is needed. There is therefore an urgent need for disease-modifying agents for patients with HD. This clinical trial is looking to assess the use of felodipine as a treatment for HD. |

Title | TAMARIN: Effects of TAMoxifen on the Mutant Allele Burden and Disease Course in Patients with MyeloprolifeRatIve Neoplasms - Simon Mendez-Ferrer |
Description | Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are blood cancers which affect the normal production of blood cells from the bone marrow. They are caused by changes (mutations) in blood stem cells, frequently in the genes that produce proteins called JAK2, CALR or MPL. MPNs have a risk of developing to an acute leukaemia (a more advanced stage of disease) and currently has no effective cure, apart from bone marrow transplantation which is not possible for many patients. Recent work in mouse studies has suggested that tamoxifen, a drug widely used to treatment breast cancer, may reduce the number of mutated cells by mimicking oestrogen (a female sex hormone) which has a role in the survival and production of new stem cells that give rise to blood cancers. In these studies, tamoxifen prevented the excessive production of blood cells by restoring normal levels of cell death in the mutated cells. This is a single arm, multicentre phase II trial designed to assess if adding tamoxifen to patients receiving therapy for their MPN reduces the number of mutated cells found in the blood by = 50% after 24 weeks of treatment compared to the start of the study. Collection of blood and bone marrow samples will also allow laboratory researchers to study the biological effects of tamoxifen and how this correlates with the patient's disease and response to therapy. Patients will receive treatment with 20mg once daily (oral tablet) of tamoxifen with their normal therapy for their MPN. 42 patients will be recruited from 13-15 UK centres over 12 months. |

Results and Impact | Every few weeks, listeners tune in to the 'Pager' podcast to hear about the topics changing the future of biology and medicine. In this episode, Dr Roger Barker joins us to discuss our current understanding of Parkinson's disease. The first half of the conversation focuses on the disease process. Is Parkinson's a single disease or a group of connected diseases? How might this difference affect our thinking surrounding Parkinson's? The discussion then switches to the development of cell and gene therapies for Parkinson's. The unique challenges of a cell therapy for the brain, as well as the efficacy of a neurotrophic factor 'GDNF', are both discussed. Dr Barker is the professor of clinical neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, and a consultant neurologist at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge. His lab at the John van Geest Centre for Brain Repair is focused on better understanding both Parkinson's and Huntington's disease, as well as on developing therapies to treat these diseases. |

Episode description: Imposter syndrome is a psychological phenomenon when a person feels they are a fraud or don't deserve their achievements and that you achieved them solely through luck. This phenomenon disproportionately affects women and people of colour, but anyone can succumb to it. It happens when someone cannot internalise their own success. In this episode we discuss these internal narratives and how to overcome them and 'reach for the stars'! |

Results and Impact | Research into making blood in the lab for use in the clinic is an area the Ghevaert group have been building up expertise over the past decade. However, the recent Covid-19 pandemic has brought greater awareness to the possibilities offered by producing blood in the lab. As the Wall Street journal's article and podcast highlight, during the peak of the pandemic the number of blood donations was greatly reduced and this reduction has led to an increased understanding of the need to look for alternatives to donations to maintain blood supplies. The group have developed a particular expertise in the production of platelets and red cells from human pluripotent stem cells. The team are using and developing methodologies that can produce clinical grade products within the constraints of affordable manufacturing processes. Platelets are the smallest cell in the body and are responsible for key functions such as blood clotting and red cells are essential for carrying oxygen around the body. In the interview, Cédric talks about the group's research and the planned clinical trial RESTORE, which is currently in development. The trial will be the first-in-human clinical trial of red blood cells grown in the laboratory from adult donor blood stem cells and aims to recruit its first patient towards the end of Spring 2021. |

They can also be used to understand the roots of human neurological diseases. Cerebral organoids can indeed be used in experiments where current in vitro methods are too simple. Therefore, they are more human applicable than rodent or other mammalian models. |
