Brief Communication on MAGE-A4 and Coexpression of Cancer Testis Antigens in Metastatic Synovial Sarcomas: Considerations for Development of Immunotherapeutics.

ABSTRACT: Therapeutic options for synovial sarcoma (SyS) have not evolved for several decades and the efficacy of second-line treatments is very limited. The expression of a large family of proteins known as cancer testis antigens (CTAs) in SyS has spurred the development of targeted T-cell therapies currently in clinical trials, such as those aimed at melanoma-associated antigen (MAGE)-A4 and New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1 (NY-ESO-1), which have shown promising clinical efficacy. Extensive knowledge of the prevalence of expression and coexpression of CTAs is critical to design T-cell therapies with optimal coverage of the patient population. We analyzed the expression of CTAs of the MAGE-A family as well as NY-ESO-1 and preferentially expressed antigen in melanoma (PRAME) by RNA sequ
