Advanced HCC Patient Benefit From Neoantigen Reactive T Cells Based Immunotherapy: A Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly lethal disease, mainly due to the late stage at diagnosis and its rapid progression. Although patients with advanced HCC can choose targeted therapy or chemotherapy, overall, the treatment response rate is extremely low and the average survival time is one year more or less. But the application of immunotherapy have led to a paradigm shift in the treatment of HCC,such as TILs (tumor infiltrating lymphocytes),Checkpoint blockade (immune Checkpoint blockade), CAR-T(chimeric antigen receptor T cells) and TCR-T (engineered t-cell receptor T cells). And recent data indicate neoantigens generated when tumors mutate are the main target of tumor-specific TILs, and they are also the main antigens mediating tumor regression in TILs treatment. Moreover, numerous evidences have revealed that radiotherapy lead to massive release of tumor antigens, which may increase the effectiveness of immunotherapy. Based on the above theory, we used neoantigen reactive T cells combined with tomotherapy to treat a patient with advanced HCC (Clinical Trial Study Registration Number: NCT03199807), who reached a long time progress free survival.

Advanced Pancreatic Cancer Patient Benefit From Personalized Neoantigen Nanovaccine Based Immunotherapy: A Case Report.

Project description:Personal neoantigen vaccines are considered to be effective methods for inducing, amplifying and diversifying antitumor T cell responses. We recently conducted a clinical study that combined neoantigen nanovaccine with anti-PD-1 antibody. Here, we reported a case with a clear beneficial outcome from this treatment. We established a process that includes comprehensive identification of individual mutations, computational prediction of new epitopes, and design and manufacture of unique nanovaccines for this patient. Nanovaccine started after a relapse in third-line treatment. We assessed the patient's clinical outcome and circulating immune response. In this advanced pancreatic cancer patient, the OS associated with the vaccine treatment was 10.5 months. A peptide-specific T-cell response against 9 of the 12 vaccine peptides could be detected sequentially. Robust neoantigen-specific T cell responses were also detected by IFN-γ ELISPOT and intracellular cytokine staining. In conclusion, sustained functional neoantigen-specific T cell therapy combined with immune checkpoint targeting may be well suited to help control progressive metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Neoantigen-based cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:Emerging clinical evidence on the role of the antitumor activity of the immune system has generated great interest in immunotherapy in all cancer types. Recent clinical data clearly demonstrated that human tumor cells express antigenic peptides (epitopes) that can be recognized by autologous tumor-specific T cells and that enhancement of such immune reactivity can potentially lead to cancer control and cancer regression in patients with advanced disease. However, in most cases, it is unclear which tumor antigens (Ags) mediated cancer regression. Mounting evidence indicates that numerous endogenous mutated cancer proteins, a hallmark of tumor cells, can be processed into peptides and presented on the surface of tumor cells, leading to their immune recognition in vivo as "non-self" or foreign. Massively parallel sequencing has now overcome the challenge of rapidly identifying the comprehensive mutational spectrum of individual tumors (i.e., the "mutanome") and current technologies, as well as computational tools, have emerged that allow the identification of private epitopes derived from their mutanome and called neoantigens (neoAgs). On this basis, both CD4(+) and CD8(+) neoantigen-specific T cells have been identified in multiple human cancers and shown to be associated with a favorable clinical outcome. Notably, emerging data also indicate that neoantigen recognition represents a major factor in the activity of clinical immunotherapies. In the post-genome era, the mutanome holds promise as a long-awaited 'gold mine' for the discovery of unique cancer cell targets, which are exclusively tumor-specific and unlikely to drive immune tolerance, hence offering the chance for highly promising clinical programs of cancer immunotherapy.

Response to immunotherapy in a patient with advanced epithelioid sarcoma of adrenal gland: A case report.

Project description:Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare and highly invasive soft tissue malignant tumor with uncertain histogenesis. The localization of ES in the adrenal gland is rather unusual. The present study reported a case of stage IV ES in the adrenal gland of a 28-year-old male. The tissue biopsy of adrenal and lung lesions revealed epithelioid cells. Immunohistochemistry indicated that the tumor cells were strongly positive for cytokeratin (CK)8, CK, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), CD34 and programmed cell death protein 1 ligand (PD-L1) but negative for nuclear integrase interactor 1 expression. The next-generation sequencing technology was applied using peripheral blood, indicating a low tumor mutation burden of 4.11 mutations (Muts)/Mb and somatic mutations in SMARCB1. After diagnosis, the patient underwent unsuccessful palliative chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) achieved partial remission and the overall survival reached 25 months. ICI monotherapy may be a feasible treatment for patients with ES with a strong expression of PD-L1.

Neoantigen-reactive T cell: An emerging role in adoptive cellular immunotherapy.

Project description:Adoptive cellular immunotherapy harnessing the intrinsic immune system for precise treatment has exhibited preliminary success against malignant tumors. As one of the emerging roles in adoptive cellular immunotherapy, neoantigen-reactive T cell (NRT) focuses on the antigens expressed only by tumor cells. It exclusively obliterates tumor and spares normal tissues, achieving more satisfying effects. However, the development of NRT immunotherapy remains in a relatively primitive stage. Current challenges include identification of NRTs and maintenance of adoptive cell efficacy in vivo. The possible side effects and other limitations of this treatment also hinder its application. Here, we present an overview of NRT immunotherapy and discuss the progress and challenges as well as the prospects in this promising field.

Neoantigen-Reactive T Cells: The Driving Force behind Successful Melanoma Immunotherapy.

Project description:Patients with metastatic cutaneous melanoma have experienced significant clinical responses after checkpoint blockade immunotherapy or adoptive cell therapy. Neoantigens are mutated proteins that arise from tumor-specific mutations. It is hypothesized that the neoantigen recognition by T cells is the critical step for T-cell-mediated anti-tumor responses and subsequent tumor regressions. In addition to describing neoantigens, we review the sentinel and ongoing clinical trials that are helping to shape the current treatments for patients with cutaneous melanoma. We also present the existing evidence that establishes the correlations between neoantigen-reactive T cells and clinical responses in melanoma immunotherapy.

Recurrent Metastatic Penile Cancer Patient with Positive PD-L1 Expression Obtained Significant Benefit from Immunotherapy: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Background:Penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) bears poor prognosis due to its rarity and limited treatment options, especially after failure of standard treatments. Effective therapeutic options were desperately needed. Case Presentation:We report a recurrent metastatic PSCC patient with positive programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression (?10%) and tumor mutation burden (TMB) of 8.87 (Muts/Mb) who obtained significant response to immunotherapy, with progression-free survival (PFS) exceeding 10 months. Conclusion:This is the first case presenting remarkable response to immunotherapy in a Chinese PSCC patient. The remarkable response might be associated with PD-L1 expression, indicating that PD-L1 expression could be a promising biomarker for immunotherapy in PSCC. TMB ranking may also contribute to patient selection. However, large clinical trials are needed to validate these notions.

Case report: The power of immunotherapy in advanced cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Project description:We describe the case of a neglected cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma with extensive facial involvement. The patient is a male in his late 70s who presented to dermatology with a large destructive facial mass that had increased in size gradually over 3 years and then rapidly proliferated, consuming a large portion of his left maxillofacial region. While the immediate reaction was referral to hospice care, medical oncology recommended treatment with cemiplimab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor. Collaboration with multiple providers facilitated the delivery of a multidisciplinary approach utilizing immunotherapy with QUAD shot radiotherapy. The immunotherapy treatment resulted in a dramatic disease regression, but the large facial anatomical defect caused by the carcinoma remained. The patient is undergoing reconstructive surgeries. This case illustrates the potential for significant response with immune checkpoint inhibitors delivered in combination with cyclical hypofractionated radiation therapy for patients with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, even in very advanced disease.

Clonal Neoantigen: Emerging "Mechanism-based" Biomarker of Immunotherapy Response.

Project description:Clonal mutations represent the initiating molecular defects related to cellular transition of a normal phenotype to a malignant phenotype. Molecular genomic assessment utilizing next generation and whole exome sequencing is now being increasingly applied to biomarker determination to refine the use of targeted immune therapies. Case examples followed by retrospective study assessment have convincingly demonstrated clonal neoantigens provide a relevant predictor of response to checkpoint inhibition. A meta-analysis, by Litchfield et al., of over 1000 cancer patients from 12 landmark trials demonstrated no clinical benefit to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy in correlation to high subclonal tumor mutational burden (TMB), whereas high clonal TMB was found to be significantly correlated with better overall survival (p = 0.000000029). We discuss the mechanism of clonal vs. subclonal neoantigen targeting relationship to homologous recombination proficient (HRP) profile, evidence of preclinical and clinical benefit related to clonal neoantigens, and review a novel developing therapy called Vigil®, designed to expand the clonal neoantigen targeting effector cell populations. Vigil® is an autologous cellular immunotherapy which is designed to carry the full set of personal clonal neoantigens. Phase 2b results demonstrate a durable recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) advantage for Vigil® in a subset ovarian cancer population with an HRP cancer profile.

Remodeling Tumor-Associated Neutrophils to Enhance Dendritic Cell-Based HCC Neoantigen Nano-Vaccine Efficiency.

Project description:Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) commonly emerges in an immunologically "cold" state, thereafter protects it away from cytolytic attack by tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, resulting in poor response to immunotherapy. Herein, an acidic/photo-sensitive dendritic cell (DCs)-based neoantigen nano-vaccine has been explored to convert tumor immune "cold" state into "hot", and remodel tumor-associated neutrophils to potentiate anticancer immune response for enhancing immunotherapy efficiency. The nano-vaccine is constructed by SiPCCl2 -hybridized mesoporous silica with coordination of Fe(III)-captopril, and coating with exfoliated membrane of matured DCs by H22-specific neoantigen stimulation. The nano-vaccines actively target H22 tumors and induce immunological cell death to boost tumor-associated antigen release by the generation of excess 1 O2 through photodynamic therapy, which act as in situ tumor vaccination to strengthen antitumor T-cell response against primary H22 tumor growth. Interestingly, the nano-vaccines are also home to lymph nodes to directly induce the activation and proliferation of neoantigen-specific T cells to suppress the primary/distal tumor growth. Moreover, the acidic-triggered captopril release in tumor microenvironment can polarize the protumoral N2 phenotype neutrophils to antitumor N1 phenotype for improving the immune effects to achieve complete tumor regression (83%) in H22-bearing mice and prolong the survival time. This work provides an alternative approach for developing novel HCC immunotherapy strategies.
