NUT carcinoma is caused by bromodomain-containing NUTM1 fusion oncogenes, most commonly BRD4::NUTM1. BRD4::NUTM1 recruits p300 to acetylate H3K27 forming expansive stretches of hyperacetylated chromatin called “megadomains” with the overexpression of corresponding oncogenes, including MYC. We hypothesized that transcriptional dysregulation caused by BRD4::NUTM1 would lead to the generation of cancer-specific antigens that could be therapeutically actionable. We integrated genomics, computational antigen prediction software, targeted immunopeptidomics using single- and double-labeled peptide standards, and gain/loss-of-function genetic experiments on a panel of cell lines (N=5), a patient derived xenograft, a tissue microarray (N=77), and patient samples from the Tempus AI Sequencing Database harboring evidence of NUTM1 fusions (N=165). We identified PRAME as the most commonly expressed cancer/testis antigen in patient samples harboring the three canonical NUT carcinoma fusions (BRD4::NUTM1, BRD3::NUTM1, and NSD3::NUTM1). Additionally, 56% (43/77) of NUT carcinoma tissue microarray samples stained positive for PRAME. BRD4::NUTM1 expression in HEK 293T cells enhanced PRAME levels and BRD4::NUTM1 knockout in NUT carcinoma cells reduced PRAME levels. Immunopeptidomics detected more PRAME-derived HLA ligands (N=9) than all other cancer/testis antigens combined (N=5). Targeted mass spectrometry detected the HLA-A*02:01/SLLQHLIGL (PRAME425) epitope in 100% (4/4) of HLA-A*02+, PRAME+ NUT carcinoma samples at higher levels (>0.01 fM) than HLA-A*02:01/RLDQLLRHV (PRAME312) or HLA-A*02:01/YLHARLREL (PRAME462). The anti-PRAME425 T-cell receptor x SP34 anti-CD3 bispecific molecule and anti-PRAME425 TCR T-cells each exhibited potent, T-cell mediated cytotoxicity against PRAME+ NUT carcinoma cells. PRAME is highly and frequently expressed in NUT carcinoma and the most common oncoprotein causing NUT carcinoma, BRD4::NUTM1, contributes to these high PRAME levels. PRAME epitopes presented by HLA Class I are a previously unrecognized therapeutic vulnerability for NUT carcinoma that warrant clinical trials testing PRAME targeted immunotherapies in this neglected patient population.</description><dates><publication>2026/07/14</publication></dates><accession>GSE338339</accession><cross_references><GSM>GSM9871652</GSM><GSM>GSM9871641</GSM><GSM>GSM9871651</GSM><GSM>GSM9871654</GSM><GSM>GSM9871643</GSM><GSM>GSM9871642</GSM><GSM>GSM9871653</GSM><GSM>GSM9871645</GSM><GSM>GSM9871656</GSM><GSM>GSM9871655</GSM><GSM>GSM9871644</GSM><GSM>GSM9871647</GSM><GSM>GSM9871658</GSM><GSM>GSM9871657</GSM><GSM>GSM9871646</GSM><GSM>GSM9871650</GSM><GSM>GSM9871660</GSM><GSM>GSM9871649</GSM><GSM>GSM9871648</GSM><GSM>GSM9871659</GSM><GPL>24676</GPL><GSE>338339</GSE><taxon>Homo sapiens</taxon></cross_references></HashMap>
