Immunomodulatory response to neoadjuvant nivolumab in non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Novel perioperative strategies are needed to reduce recurrence rates in patients undergoing nephrectomy for high-risk, non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). We conducted a prospective, phase I trial of neoadjuvant nivolumab prior to nephrectomy in 15 evaluable patients with non-metastatic ccRCC. We leveraged tissue from that cohort to elucidate the effects of PD-1 inhibition on immune cell populations in ccRCC and correlate the evolving immune milieu with anti-PD-1 response. We found that nivolumab durably induces a pro-inflammatory state within the primary tumor, and baseline immune infiltration within the primary tumor correlates with nivolumab responsiveness. Nivolumab increases CTLA-4 expression in the primary tumor, and subsequent nephrectomy increases circulating concentrations of sPD-L1, sPD-L3 (sB7-H3), and s4-1BB. These findings form the basis to consider neoadjuvant immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) for high-risk ccRCC while the tumor remains in situ and provide the rationale for perioperative strategies of novel ICI combinations.

Sitravatinib Plus Nivolumab in Patients Undergoing Nephrectomy for Locally Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma

Project description:Sitravatinib is an immunomodulatory tyrosine kinase inhibitor that can augment responses when combined with programmed death-1 (PD-1) inhibitors such as nivolumab. We report a phase 2 study of neoadjuvant sitravatinib in combination with nivolumab in patients with locally advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) prior to curative nephrectomy (NCT03680521). The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) prior to surgery with a null hypothesis ORR = 5% and the alternative hypothesis set at ORR = 30%. Secondary endpoints included correlative immune effects and disease-free survival (DFS). Twenty patients were evaluable for safety and 17 for efficacy. The ORR was 11.8%, and 24-month DFS probability was 88·0% (95% CI 61.0 to 97.0). There were no grade 4/5 treatment-related adverse events. Correlative blood and tissue analyses showed changes in the tumour microenvironment resulting in an immunologically active tumour by the time of surgery. These data suggest that short-term neoadjuvant sitravatinib and nivolumab does not substantially increase ORR but can modulate the immune microenvironment and yield high DFS probabilities in patients with locally advanced ccRCC.

Immune Restoring (IR) CAR-T Cells Display Superior Antitumor Activity and Reverse Immunosuppressive TME in a Humanized ccRCC Orthotopic Mouse Model

Project description:Here we report a humanized clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) orthotopic NSG-SGM3 mouse model (hccRCC-NSG-SGM3) with reconstituted human lymphocytes derived from fetal CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) bearing human ccRCC skrc-59 cells under the kidney capsule. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched CD34+ HSCs were used for the humanization to reduce T cell alloreactivity against skrc-59 human ccRCC cells. Tumors were collected and sorted for CD45+ tumor infiltrated leukocytes (TILs) to profile the tumor microenvironment (TME) in hccRCC-NSG-SGM3. By comparing to patient data from prospective clinical trials of the anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) nivolumab in advanced ccRCC, the results demonstrated that the CD45+ TILs from hccRCC-NSG-SGM3 reconstitutes most CD45+ cell types, including NK cells, dendritic cells, exhausted CD8 T cells, regulatory T cells (Tregs), that are observed in advanced ccRCC patient TME. Furthermore, Anti-carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) G36 immune restoring (IR) chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells secreting PD-L1 targeted immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) mAb (G36-PDL1) exhibited superior tumor control compared to G36 CAR-T cells with anti-SARS mAb (G36-SARS) and anti-BCMA A716 CAR-T cells with anti-PD-L1 mAb (A716-PDL1). In addition, G36-PDL1 CAR-T cells restored active anti-tumor immunity at tumor site uncovered by 10X genomics single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single cell T cell receptor sequencing (scTCR-seq).

Multi-omics analyses of changes in the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic adenocarcinoma following neoadjuvant treatment with anti-PD-1 antibody

Project description:Successful pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) immunotherapy necessitates optimization and maintenance of activated effector T cells (Teffs). We prospectively collected and applied multi-omics analysis to paired, pre- and post-treatment PDAC specimens collected in a platform neoadjuvant study of GVAX vaccine +/- nivolumab (anti-PD-1) to uncover sensitivity and resistance mechanisms. We show that GVAX-induced tertiary lymphoid aggregates become immune-regulatory sites in response to GVAX+nivolumab. Higher densities of tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) following GVAX+nivolumab portend poorer overall survival (OS). Increased T cells expressing CD137 associated with cytotoxic Teff signatures and correlated with increased OS. Bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing found that nivolumab alters CD4+ T cell chemotaxis signaling in association with CD11b+ neutrophil degranulation, and CD8+ T cell expression of CD137 required for optimal T cell activation. These findings provide new insights into PD-1-regulated immune pathways in PDAC that should inform more effective therapeutic combinations that include TAN regulators and T cell activators.

KIR Polymorphism is Associated with Primary Resistance to PD-1 Blockade in Lung Cancer

Project description:Adaptive immune escape of tumor cells by upregulation of ligands for programmed death 1 (PD-1) has been identified as an important and targetable pathway in many cancer types. Many clinical trials have demonstrated that targeting PD-1 or its ligand PD-L1 with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) can restore anti-tumor immunity and induce durable remission. In patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), several trials have demonstrated a survival benefit with ICI in patients with metastatic and locally advanced NSCLC.Yet, most patients have primary resistance to PD-1 or PD-L1 blockade during treatment: approximately 20% of unselected patients with NSCLC achieve a partial response while 40-50% have progressive disease as best response. Understanding mechanisms of primary resistance to PD-(L)1 blockade is important in the search for potentially targetable pathways and may ultimately allow discrimination between patients that benefit from PD-(L)1 blockade and those requiring combination or other approaches. We collected PBMCs and serum samples from 35 patients with NSCLC before and during PD-1 blockade treatment with nivolumab. We analyzed differentially expressed genes in CD8+ T cells from the peripheral blood of 5 patients with partial response and 5 patients with primary progressive disease to identify mechanisms of resistance to PD-1 therapy. Cells were collected from samples taken before and after 4 weeks of treatment.

PBAF loss leads to DNA damage induced inflammatory signalling through defective G2/M checkpoint maintenance

Project description:PBRM1 is a subunit of the PBAF (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodelling complex that is mutated in approximately 40% of clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC). PBRM1 loss has been implicated in the response to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy in ccRCC. However, it is unclear how PBRM1 influences this. DNA damage-induced inflammatory signalling is an important factor determining ICI therapy response. This response is kept in check by the G2/M checkpoint, which prevents progression through mitosis with unrepaired damage. Here, we show that PBRM1 is required for p53-dependent maintenance of the G2/M checkpoint. In its absence, p53-dependent transcriptional upregulation of p21 is delayed, leading to defective repression of DREAM complex targets and premature entry into mitosis. Consequently, DNA damage induced inflammatory signalling pathways are activated by cytosolic DNA. Notably, p53 is infrequently mutated in ccRCC, so PBRM1 mutational status is critical to G2/M checkpoint maintenance following DNA damage in this cancer. These findings have implications for ICI therapy responses in ccRCC.

Soluble immune-checkpoint factors as a complementary biomarker for PD-1 blockade reflect exhaustion of antitumor immunity

Project description:BACKGROUND. Precise stratification of patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is needed for appropriate application of PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy. METHODS. We measured soluble (s) forms of the PD-L1, PD-1, and CTLA-4 in plasma of patients with advanced NSCLC before PD-1/PD-L1 blockade. Prospective biomarker finding trial (cohort A), 50 patients with pretreated NSCLC received nivolumab. In cohort B to E, retrospective observational study, soluble immune checkpoint molecules were evaluated for patients with advanced NSCLC treated with any PD-1/PD-L1 blockade (cohort B and C), cytotoxic chemotherapy (D) or targeted therapy (E). Blood samples were obtained from all patients and soluble immune checkpoint molecules were evaluated using a highly sensitive chemiluminescence-based assay. RESULTS. Nonresponsiveness to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade therapy was associated with higher concentrations of these soluble immune factors among patients with immune-reactive (hot) tumors. Such correlation was not observed in patients treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy or targeted therapies. Integrative analysis of tumor size, PD-L1 expression in tumor tissue (tPD-L1), and gene expression in tumor tissue and peripheral CD8+ T cells revealed that high concentrations of the three soluble immune factors were associated with hyper or terminal exhaustion of antitumor immunity. The combination of sPD-L1 and sCTLA-4 efficiently discriminated responsiveness among patients with immune-reactive tumors. CONCLUSION. Combinations of soluble immune factors might be able to identify patients unlikely to respond to PD-1/PD-L1 blockade as a result of terminal exhaustion of antitumor immunity. Our data suggest such a combination might provide a biomarker complementary to tPD-L1 for NSCLC patients.

Response and recurrence correlates in patients treated with neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy for resectable oral-cavity squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Neoadjuvant PD-1 blockade may be efficacious in patients with high-risk, resectable oral-cavity, head-and-neck cancer. To explore correlates of response patterns to neoadjuvant nivolumab treatment and post-surgical recurrences, we analyzed longitudinal tumor and blood samples in a cohort of 12 patients displaying 33% responsiveness. Pretreatment tumor-based detection of FLT4 mutations and PTEN signature enrichment favors response, and high tumor mutational burden improves recurrence-free survival. In contrast, preexisting and/or acquired mutations (in CDKN2A, YAP1, JAK2) correlate with innate resistance and/or tumor recurrence. Immunologically, tumor response after therapy entails T-cell receptor repertoire diversification in peripheral blood and intratumoral expansion of preexisting T-cell clones. A high ratio of regulatory to Th17 T cells in pretreatment blood predicts innate resistance, low cytolytic T-cell signature in pretreatment tumor, and low T-cell receptor repertoire diversity in pretreatment blood. Our study provides a molecular framework to advance neoadjuvant anti-PD-1 therapy for patients with resectable head-and-neck cancer.

Mesenchymal-like tumor cells and myofibroblastic cancer-associated fibroblasts are associated with progression and immunotherapy response of clear-cell renal cell carcinoma [spatial transcriptomics]

Project description:Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) represent the cornerstone for treatment of patients with metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Despite a favorable response for a subset of patients, others experience primary progressive disease highlighting the need to precisely understand plasticity of cancer cells and their crosstalk with the microenvironment to better predict therapeutic response and personalize treatment. Single-cell RNA sequencing of ccRCC at different disease stages and normal adjacent tissue (NAT) from patients identified 46 cell populations, including 5 tumor subpopulations, characterized by distinct transcriptional signatures representing an epithelial to mesenchymal transition gradient and a novel inflamed state. Deconvolution of the tumor and microenvironment signatures in public datasets and in data from the BIONIKK clinical trial (NCT02960906) revealed a strong correlation between mesenchymal-like ccRCC cells and myofibroblastic cancer-associated fibroblasts (myCAFs), which are both enriched in metastases and correlate with poor patient survival. Spatial transcriptomics and multiplex immune staining uncovered spatial proximity of mesenchymal-like ccRCC cells and myCAFs at the tumor-NAT interface. Moreover, enrichment in myCAFs was associated with primary resistance to ICI therapy in the BIONIKK clinical trial. This data highlights the epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity of ccRCC cancer cells and their relationship with myCAFs, a critical component of the microenvironment associated with poor outcome and ICI resistance.

Circulating tumor DNA, pathological and immunologic responses to neoadjuvant nivolumab or nivolumab plus relatlimab and chemoradiotherapy in resectable esophageal/gastroesophageal junction cancer

Project description:Gastroesophageal tumor kinetics during immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) remain poorly understood. We report a phase II trial that evaluated neoadjuvant nivolumab (arm A) or nivolumab-relatlimab (arm B) in combination with chemoradiotherapy in 32 patients with resectable gastroesophageal cancer together with an in-depth evaluation of pathological, molecular and functional immune responses (NCT03044613). Patients with undetectable circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) post-ICI induction, pre- and post-operatively had a significantly longer RFS and OS. Cell-free tumor load contraction was reflective of neoantigen-specific T-cell responses. Our findings highlight tumor kinetics during ICI that may open a therapeutic window for future intervention.
