A pilot study of lymphodepletion intensity for peripheral blood mononuclear cell-derived neoantigen-specific CD8 + T cell therapy in patients with advanced solid tumors.

ABSTRACT: Currently, the optimal lymphodepletion intensity for peripheral blood mononuclear cell-derived neoantigen-specific CD8 + T cell (Neo-T) therapy has yet to be determined. We report a single-arm, open-label and non-randomized phase 1 study (NCT02959905) of Neo-T therapy with lymphodepletion at various dose intensity in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors that are refractory to standard therapies. The primary end point is safety and the secondary end points are disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS). Results show that the treatment is well tolerated with lymphopenia being the most common adverse event in the highest-intensity lymphodepletion groups. Neo-T infusion-related adverse events are only grade 1-2 in the no lymphodepletion group. The median PFS is 7.1 months (95% CI:3.7-9.8), the median OS is 16.8 months (95% CI: 11.9-31.7), and the DCR is 66.7% (6/9) among all groups. Three patients achieve partial response, two of them are in the no lymphodepletion group. In the group without lymphodepletion pretreatment, one patient refractory to prior anti-PD1 therapy shows partial response to Neo-T therapy. Neoantigen specific TCRs are examined in two patients and show delayed expansion after lymphodepletion treatment. In summary, Neo-T therapy without lymphodepletion could be a safe and promising regimen for advanced solid tumors.

Project description:BackgroundRecent genomic and bioinformatic technological advances have made it possible to dissect the immune response to personalized neoantigens encoded by tumor-specific mutations. However, timely and efficient identification of neoantigens is still one of the major obstacles to using personalized neoantigen-based cancer immunotherapy.MethodsTwo different pipelines of neoantigens identification were established in this study: (1) Clinical grade targeted sequencing was performed in patients with refractory solid tumor, and mutant peptides with high variant allele frequency and predicted high HLA-binding affinity were de novo synthesized. (2) An inventory-shared neoantigen peptide library of common solid tumors was constructed, and patients' hotspot mutations were matched to the neoantigen peptide library. The candidate neoepitopes were identified by recalling memory T-cell responses in vitro. Subsequently, neoantigen-loaded dendritic cell vaccines and neoantigen-reactive T cells were generated for personalized immunotherapy in six patients.ResultsImmunogenic neo-epitopes were recognized by autologous T cells in 3 of 4 patients who utilized the de novo synthesis mode and in 6 of 13 patients who performed shared neoantigen peptide library, respectively. A metastatic thymoma patient achieved a complete and durable response beyond 29 months after treatment. Immune-related partial response was observed in another patient with metastatic pancreatic cancer. The remaining four patients achieved the prolonged stabilization of disease with a median PFS of 8.6 months.ConclusionsThe current study provided feasible pipelines for neoantigen identification. Implementing these strategies to individually tailor neoantigens could facilitate the neoantigen-based translational immunotherapy research.TRIAL REGSITRATION.
