Adoptive T-Cell Therapy in Advanced Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US. For the vast majority of patients with advanced CRC (ie, for those in whom metastatic tumors are unresectable), treatment is palliative and typically involves chemotherapy, biologic therapy, and/or immune checkpoint inhibition. In recent years, the use of adoptive T-cell therapy (ACT), leveraging the body's own immune system to recognize and target cancer, has become increasingly popular. Unfortunately, while ACT has been successful in the treatment of hematological malignancies, it is less efficacious in advanced CRC due in part to a lack of productive immune infiltrate. This systematic review was conducted to summarize the current data for the efficacy and safety of ACT in advanced CRC. We report that ACT is well tolerated in patients with advanced CRC. Favorable survival estimates among patients with advanced CRC receiving ACT demonstrate promise for this novel treatment paradigm. However, additional stage I/II clinical trials are needed to establish the efficacy and safety of ACT in patients with CRC.

Project description:Adoptive cell therapy (ACT) has shown promise in hematologic and solid tumors. While data supports immunogenicity of gynecologic cancers, the benefit of ACT is not yet clear. To address this question, we performed a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis. Eligible studies included those reporting oncologic response or toxicity data in at least one patient with any gynecologic cancer treated with ACT. Chi-square test and multivariable logistic regression were performed to identify predictors of response. We retrieved 281 articles, and 28 studies met our inclusion criteria. These comprised of 401 patients including 238 patients with gynecologic cancers (61.8% ovarian, 34.0% cervical, 2.9% endometrial, and 1.2% other). In patients with gynecologic cancers, response rates to ACT were 8.1% complete response, 18.2% partial response, and 31.4% stable disease, for an objective response rate (ORR) of 26.3%, disease control rate (DCR) of 57.6%, and median response duration of 5.5 months. Patients in studies reporting ≤1 median line of prior therapy had a higher ORR (52.9% vs. 22.6% for >1, p < 0.001), although DCR in the >1 group was still 53.2%. ORRs by ACT type were tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) 41.4%, natural killer cells 26.7%, peripheral autologous T-cells 18.4%, T-cell receptor-modified T-cells 15.4%, and chimeric antigen receptor T-cells 9.5% (p = 0.001). ORR was significantly improved with inclusion of lymphodepletion (34.8% vs. 15.4% without, p = 0.001). On multivariable analysis controlling for cancer type and lymphodepletion, TIL therapy was predictive of objective response (odds ratio 2.6, p = 0.011). The rate of grade 3 or 4 toxicity was 46.0%. All grade adverse events included fever, hypotension, dyspnea, confusion, hematologic changes, nausea/vomiting, fatigue, and diarrhea. In conclusion, ACT is a promising treatment modality in gynecologic cancer. We observed a particular benefit of TIL therapy and suggest inclusion of lymphodepletion in future trials.
