Use of Talimogene Laherparepvec to Treat Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Renal Transplant Patient.

Project description:A 66-year-old female with a history of two renal transplants due to recurrent thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura presented to clinic with multiple lesions identified to be non-metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC). The patient previously underwent multiple Mohs procedures and radiation therapy treatment but continued to develop CSCC lesions with increasing frequency. After discussing multiple treatment options, it was elected to pursue treatment with Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) given the systemic immune responses it can cause, with low theoretical risk of graft rejection. After starting intratumoral T-VEC injections, treated lesions began to decrease in size, and a reduction in the rate of new CSCC lesions was observed. Treatment was held due to unrelated renal complications during which time new CSCCs developed. Patient was restarted on T-VEC therapy with no recurrent renal issues. Upon reinitiating treatment, injected and non-injected lesions showed reduction in size, and the development of new lesions again ceased. One injected lesion was resected via Mohs micrographic surgery due to its size and discomfort. On sectioning, this demonstrated an exuberant lymphocytic perivascular infiltrate which was consistent with treatment response to T-VEC, with little active tumor. With high rates of non-melanoma skin cancer in renal transplant patients, their transplant status significantly limits treatment options, specifically with regards to anti-PD-1 therapy. This case suggests T-VEC can generate local and systemic immune responses in the setting of immunosuppression and that T-VEC may be a beneficial therapeutic option for transplant patients with CSCC.

Talimogene laherparepvec resulting in near-complete response in a patient with treatment-refractory Merkel cell carcinoma.

Project description:Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare and aggressive cutaneous tumour of neuroendocrine cell origin, which can grow rapidly and metastasise early. Localised disease is treated with surgery and radiotherapy. Disease that reaches a more advanced stage can be treated with a variety of different treatment modalities including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, radionuclide therapy, immunotherapy, and intralesional therapy. We report a case of a patient who had exhausted all local and systemic treatment options and who subsequently had an exceptional response to intralesional injection of Talimogene laherparepvec (TVEC).

Distinguishing melanophages from tumor in melanoma patients treated with talimogene laherparepvec.

Project description:Response to talimogene laherparepvec (T-Vec) is difficult to assess as pigmented macrophages that have ingested melanoma cells ('melanophages') persist after injection, mimicking melanoma. We used quantitative immunofluorescence (qIF) to (1) distinguish melanophages from melanoma in biopsies from two patients treated with T-Vec and (2) evaluate the tumor microenvironment pretreatment and posttreatment. Tissues were stained with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, cluster of differentiation (CD) 3, CD8, CD68, human leukocyte antigen-DR isotype (HLA-DR), and SRY-Box Transcription Factor 10 (SOX10), and multispectral images were analyzed. Post-T-Vec samples showed melanophages with cytoplasmic costaining of CD68, SOX10, and HLA-DR, without nuclear SOX10 expression. qIF revealed a dense immune infiltrate of CD3, CD8, and CD68 cells in post-T-Vec samples. Melanophages from tumors post-T-Vec stain the nuclear melanoma marker SOX10 in their cytoplasms as compared to melanoma cells that stain nuclear SOX10. This novel finding highlights the phagocytosis of melanoma cell components by macrophages after treatment with T-Vec. qIF may assist pathologists in determining whether lesions treated with immunotherapy contain residual viable melanoma.

Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) in advanced melanoma: complete response in a heart and kidney transplant patient. A case report.

Project description:Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) is a intralesional oncolytic virotherapy, licensed in the European Union for locoregional advanced melanoma of American Joint Committee on Cancer stages IIIB, IIIC and IVM1a. Organ transplant recipients are currently excluded from all clinical trials dealing with immunotherapies due to the risk of transplant rejection. A 58-year-old white man with a history of heart and kidney transplantation in 2014 was diagnosed with melanoma (Breslow thickness 1·6 mm, stage pT2a) on the left arm in September 2015. In March 2016 he developed in transit metastases, and local therapy with a combination of topical imiquimod (5%) and cryotherapy of individual lesions was initiated. However, in November 2016 therapy was stopped following local progression of the metastases. An interdisciplinary decision to treat the patient with T-VEC was taken. After 11 cycles of T-VEC, the patient showed a complete response. As of June 2018, 11 months after the last treatment cycle of T-VEC, the patient continues to be tumour free. The patient tolerated the therapy well with only mild adverse events and did not show any sign of graft rejection or loss of function of the transplanted organs. We conclude that T-VEC can be a potentially effective and safe treatment in patients with a history of organ transplantation. Nevertheless, due to this special situation, the risks and benefits should always be discussed with an interdisciplinary tumour board.

Kaposi's varicelliform eruption in a patient with metastatic melanoma and primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma treated with talimogene laherparepvec and nivolumab.

Project description:BackgroundImmune-directed therapies have become front-line therapy for melanoma and are transforming the management of advanced disease. In refractory cases, multi-modal immunoncology (IO) approaches are being utilized, including combining immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) with oncolytic herpes viruses. Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) is the first genetically modified oncolytic viral therapy (OVT) approved for the treatment of recurrent and unresectable melanoma. The use of IO in patients with concomitant malignancies and/or compromised immune systems is limited due to systematic exclusion from clinical trials. For example, a single case report of a solid organ transplant patient successfully treated with T-VEC for metastatic melanoma has been reported. Furthermore, the use of ICB in T-cell malignancies is limited and paradoxical worsening has been described. To our knowledge, this is the first report of dual ICB/T-VEC being administered to a patient with concurrent primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (pcALCL) and melanoma.Case presentationHere we present the case of a patient with concomitant primary cutaneous ALCL and metastatic melanoma, progressing on anti-programmed death (PD)-1 therapy, who developed Kaposi's varicelliform eruption after receiving the first dose of Talimogene laherparepvec.ConclusionThis case highlights the complexities of care of patients with coexistent cancers, demonstrates rapid progression of primary cutaneous ALCL on nivolumab and introduces a novel adverse effect of Talimogene laherparepvec.
