Comparison of IL-2-antibody to IL-2-Fc with or without stereotactic radiation therapy in CEA immunocompetent mice with CEA positive tumors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The potent immune effects of interleukin-2 (IL-2) for cancer therapy can be increased by genetic fusion of IL-2 to the Fc domain of an antibody (IL-2-Fc) or tumor targeted by genetic fusion to a whole antibody known as an immunocytokine (ICK).

Methods

An anti-CEA ICK (M5A-IL-2) was compared to an IL-2-Fc fusion protein using tumor therapy and PET imaging in CEA transgenic immunocompetent mice bearing CEA positive colon or breast tumors. Combination with stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) was performed with either ICK or IL-2-Fc.

Results

ICK and IL-2-Fc had comparable antitumor effects in both tumor models, although ICK had higher tumor uptake and slower blood clearance than an IL-2-Fc. Analysis of IFNγ⁺ /CD8⁺ and FoxP3⁺ /CD4⁺ T cells revealed higher levels of IFNγ-producing CD8⁺ T cells in ICK treated mice versus more efficient Treg elimination in IL-2-Fc treated mice. No significant or lasting toxicity was detected for either agent. Combination therapies with SRT revealed comparable efficacy and induction of immune memory for both ICK and IL-2-Fc when mice were rechallenged post-therapy.

Conclusions

IL-2-Fc had comparable antitumor efficacy to CEA-targeted M5A-IL-2 ICK, while both fusion proteins induced immune memory when combined with SRT. Differences in the therapeutic mechanisms of both agents were observed.

Project description:PurposeTo quantitatively evaluate published experiences with hepatic stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), to determine local control rates after treatment of primary and metastatic liver tumors and to examine whether outcomes are affected by SBRT dosing regimen.Methods and materialsWe identified published articles that reported local control rates after SBRT for primary or metastatic liver tumors. Biologically effective doses (BEDs) were calculated for each dosing regimen using the linear-quadratic equation. We excluded series in which a wide range of BEDs was used. Individual lesion data for local control were extracted from actuarial survival curves, and data were aggregated to form a single dataset. Actuarial local control curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method after grouping lesions by disease type and BED (<100 Gy10 vs >100 Gy10). Comparisons were made using log-rank testing.ResultsThirteen articles met all inclusion criteria and formed the dataset for this analysis. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year actuarial local control rates after SBRT for primary liver tumors (n = 431) were 93%, 89%, and 86%, respectively. Lower 1- (90%), 2- (79%), and 3-year (76%) actuarial local control rates were observed for liver metastases (n = 290, log-rank P = .011). Among patients treated with SBRT for primary liver tumors, there was no evidence that local control is influenced by BED within the range of schedules used. For liver metastases, on the other hand, outcomes were significantly better for lesions treated with BEDs exceeding 100 Gy10 (3-year local control 93%) than for those treated with BEDs of ≤100 Gy10 (3-year local control 65%, P < .001).ConclusionsStereotactic body radiation therapy for primary liver tumors provides high rates of durable local control, with no clear evidence for a dose-response relationship among commonly utilized schedules. Excellent local control rates are also seen after SBRT for liver metastases when BEDs of >100 Gy10 are utilized.
