ABSTRACT: Predicting Outcomes of Prostate Cancer Immunotherapyby Personalized Mathematical Models Natalie Kronik1¤, Yuri Kogan1, Moran Elishmereni1, Karin Halevi-Tobias1, Stanimir Vuk-Pavlovic ́2.,Zvia Agur1*.1Institute for Medical BioMathematics, Bene Ataroth, Israel,2College of Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, United States of America Abstract Background:Therapeutic vaccination against disseminated prostate cancer (PCa) is partially effective in some PCa patients.We hypothesized that the efficacy of treatment will be enhanced by individualized vaccination regimens tailored by simplemathematical models.Methodology/Principal Findings:We developed a general mathematical model encompassing the basic interactions of avaccine, immune system and PCa cells, and validated it by the results of a clinical trial testing an allogeneic PCa whole-cellvaccine. For model validation in the absence of any other pertinent marker, we used the clinically measured changes inprostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels as a correlate of tumor burden. Up to 26 PSA levels measured per patient were dividedinto each patient’s training set and his validation set. The training set, used for model personalization, contained thepatient’s initial sequence of PSA levels; the validation set contained his subsequent PSA data points. Personalized modelswere simulated to predict changes in tumor burden and PSA levels and predictions were compared to the validation set.The model accurately predicted PSA levels over the entire measured period in 12 of the 15 vaccination-responsive patients(the coefficient of determination between the predicted and observed PSA values wasR2= 0.972). The model could notaccount for the inconsistent changes in PSA levels in 3 of the 15 responsive patients at the end of treatment. Each validatedpersonalized model was simulated under many hypothetical immunotherapy protocols to suggest alternative vaccinationregimens. Personalized regimens predicted to enhance the effects of therapy differed among the patients.Conclusions/Significance:Using a few initial measurements, we constructed robust patient-specific models of PCaimmunotherapy, which were retrospectively validated by clinical trial results. Our results emphasize the potential value andfeasibility of individualized model-suggested immunotherapy protocols.

Cancer immunology, immunotherapy : CII 20070907 3

Glioblastoma (GBM), a highly aggressive (WHO grade IV) primary brain tumor, is refractory to traditional treatments, such as surgery, radiation or chemotherapy. This study aims at aiding in the design of more efficacious GBM therapies. We constructed a mathematical model for glioma and the immune system interactions, that may ensue upon direct intra-tumoral administration of ex vivo activated alloreactive cytotoxic-T-lymphocytes (aCTL). Our model encompasses considerations of the interactive dyn ...[more]

Project description:Purpose: There is evidence that therapeutic cancer vaccines can lengthen survival for some cancer patients, but responses vary widely from one person to another. Methods to predict clinical outcomes will advance the field and provide new insights into critical determinants of in vivo efficacy. This study uses a high-throughput glycan microarray to assess correlations between a subject's overall survival after receiving PROSTVAC-VF and his baseline serum anti-glycan antibody levels. Results: Pre-vaccination antibody levels to blood group A trisaccharide (BG-Atri) were found to have a statistically significant correlation with survival. Long-term survival was approximately doubled in subjects with abundant anti-BG-Atri IgM relative to subjects with little or no pre-existing IgM for BG-Atri. This survival correlation was specific to vaccine treatment, as no correlation was observed in control patients immunized with wild-type poxviruses lacking the key tumor antigen, prostate specific antigen (PSA). Moreover, anti-BG-Atri IgM levels were not correlated with general measures of disease severity, such as PSA levels, Gleason score, or Halabi predicted survival. Conclusion: In addition to reporting a new potentially predictive biomarker for PROSTVAC-VF, this study highlights the potential of glycan microarray technology for personalized medicine. The overall study was a retrospective analysis of 141 subjects from phase II trials of PROSTVAC-VF, a poxvirus based cancer vaccine currently in phase III clinical trials for advanced prostate cancer. The subjects were divided into a training set (n=28) and a validation set (n=113). A glycan microarray was used to profile pre-vaccination anti-glycan antibody populations in sera as potential biomarkers for PROSTVAC-VF. For both the training set and validation set, the anti-glycan profiles were measured using four variations of serum dilution and isotype specific secondary antibody (IgM at 1:50, IgG at 1:50, total Ig at 1:50, and total Ig at 1:200). IgG levels for the training set measured at serum dilution of 1:50 are detailed here. The screen for predictive biomarkers identified anti-glycan antibodies that consistently stratified subjects into groups with different Kaplan Meier survival estimates. Due to the potential for overfitting, a permutation test was used to estimate the false discovery rate. Raw data on superSeries GSE42184 record.

Methods to predict clinical outcomes will advance the field and provide new insights into critical determinants of in vivo efficacy. This study uses a high-throughput glycan microarray to assess correlations between a subject's overall survival after receiving PROSTVAC-VF and his anti-glycan humoral responses occuring in the first months after treatment with PROSTVAC-VF. Results: Humoral responses to the terminal Forssman disaccharide (Fsdi) were found to have a statistically significant correlation with survival. Long-term survival was approximately doubled in subjects with four-fold or larger anti-Fsdi responses relative to subjects with little or no anti-Fsdi response. This survival correlation was specific to vaccine treatment, as no correlation was observed in control patients immunized with wild-type poxviruses lacking the key tumor antigen, prostate specific antigen (PSA). Moreover, anti-Fsdi humoral responses were not correlated with general measures of disease severity, such as PSA levels, Gleason score, or Halabi predicted survival.
