概括
针对新抗原的个性化癌症疫苗 (PCV) 在清细胞癌 (RCC) 患者中显示出高免疫性. 这种方法显示出作为有效辅助疗法的潜力,在研究队列中没有观察到复发.
科学领域:
- 癌症学
- 免疫学
- 疫苗开发
背景情况:
- 个性化癌症疫苗 (PCV) 旨在引起针对患者特定的新抗原的免疫反应.
- 针对癌症驱动突变和诱导临床活性,特别是低突变负担的瘤的PCV的能力仍然在很大程度上未被探索.
- 清细胞细胞癌 (RCC) 是一种严重的恶性瘤,需要新的辅助疗法.
研究的目的:
- 评估新抗原向PCV的安全性和免疫性,对患有高风险,切除的清细胞癌 (RCC) 的患者进行评估.
- 评估PCVs诱导T细胞对抗癌症驱动突变和自身瘤的潜力.
- 研究PCV作为RCC的辅助疗法的临床活性.
主要方法:
- 进行了一项I期临床试验 (NCT02950766),涉及9名高风险,完全切除RCC的参与者.
- 参与者接受了新抗原向PCV,有或没有ipilimumab,作为辅助治疗.
- 评估了免疫反应,包括T细胞对PCV抗原和自身瘤的反应,以及复发和毒性等临床结果.
主要成果:
- 在40. 2个月的中位随访期内,没有参与者出现RCC的复发.
- 所有患者都产生了针对PCV抗原的T细胞免疫反应,包括针对RCC驱动突变 (VHL,PBRM1,BAP1,KDM5C,PIK3CA).
- 观察到周围T细胞克隆的持续扩张,并且在9名患者中检测到7名T细胞对自身瘤的反应性. 没有报告剂量限制性毒性.
结论:
- 在高危RCC患者中,针对新抗原的PCV具有高度免疫性.
- 这些疫苗可以有效地向关键的癌症驱动突变并诱导抗瘤免疫力.
- 这些有前途的结果,包括没有复发,表明PCV具有作为RCC有效辅助治疗的潜力.

Tumor Immunotherapy
464
Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.

Cancer Vaccines

Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...
