SHP-2 and PD-L1 Inhibition Combined with Radiotherapy Enhances Systemic Antitumor Effects in an Anti-PD-1-Resistant Model of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1/PD-L1, have emerged as promising therapies for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, approximately 80% of patients do not respond to immunotherapy given alone because of intrinsic or acquired resistance. Radiotherapy (XRT) can overcome PD-1 resistance and improve treatment outcomes, but its efficacy remains suboptimal. The tyrosine phosphatase SHP-2, expressed in some cancers and in immune cells, has been shown to negatively affect antitumor immunity. Our hypothesis was that SHP-2 inhibition in combination with anti-PD-L1 would enhance immune-mediated responses to XRT and synergistically boost antitumor effects in an anti-PD-1-resistant mouse model. We treated 129Sv/Ev mice with anti-PD-1-resistant 344SQ NSCLC adenocarcinoma w
