From Tumor Biology to Breakthrough Therapies: The Rise of Personalized Cancer Vaccines

Notably, in the KEYNOTE-942 trial (NCT03897881) led by Jeffrey S Weber, investigators observed improved relapse-free survival (RFS) with a combination of neoantigen vaccines and pembrolizumab (Keytruda; Merck & Co), marking a significant step forward in clinical translation.1,2 This phase 2b study evaluated the efficacy and safety of mRNA-4157 (V940; Moderna and Merck), an mRNA-based individualized neoantigen therapy, combined with pembrolizumab vs pembrolizumab monotherapy in patients with resected high-risk melanoma (stage IIIB-IV). The trial enrolled 157 patients across the US and Australia, randomized 2:1 to receive either the combination therapy or monotherapy.2

At a median follow-up of 24 months, the combination therapy improved RFS (HR 0.561, P=0.053), with 18-month RFS rates of 79% vs 62% in the monotherapy group. The combination therapy was associated with more grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events (AEs, 25% vs 18%), though no grade 4 to 5 events were attributed to mRNA-4157. Immune-mediated AE rates were similar between groups.2

Overall, the findings suggest that mRNA-4157 plus pembrolizumab enhances RFS with a manageable safety profile, supporting the potential role of mRNA-based neoantigen therapy in the adjuvant treatment of high-risk melanoma.2

With promising results such as those observed in the KEYNOTE-942 trial, Wu explained that pharmaceutical industry has begun to provide funding for larger studies investigating neoantigen vaccines in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant settings. For example, one study (NCT05933577) investigating melanoma (nearly finished) received funding from Merck and Moderna and enrolled 1089 patients. Another study (NCT06295809) investigating cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant setting (will be commencing soon) also received funding from industry and has enrolled 1000 patients. Other studies include investigations into renal cell carcinoma (RCC, NCT06307431), bladder (NCT06305767), non-small cell lung cancer (NCT06077760), and resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (NCT05968326), all in the adjuvant setting with between 200 and approximately 900 patients enrolled.1

“Now we're getting—with support from industry—not 10 or 15 patient studies, but rather on the order of 200 and even more than 1000 patients,” Wu said. “I think in the time to come, we'll be able to really, truly look at the clinical impact of such vaccines.”

Yale doctor's use of ‘cancer vaccine' makes waves after early trials show promising results

The patients remained cancer-free for nearly three years, up until the study ended, Braun said. “We’re able to generate a long-lasting, anti-cancer immune response with the vaccine,” he said.

The next stage is a larger trial, in partnership with pharmaceutical companies Merck and Moderna, that will test the vaccine in combination with other treatments in 270 patients around the world. The first patient who enrolled in the new trial is being treated at Yale Cancer Center, Braun said.

The new virus is even closer related to MERS, a deadlier type of coronavirus that kills up to a third of people it infects.

HKU5-CoV-2 is strikingly similar to the pandemic virus, sparking fears that history could repeat itself just two years after the worst was declared over.

$BNTX Experimental vaccine for common cancer shows potential in clinical trial
Some pancreatic cancer patients showed immune response to mRNA vaccine

Vinod Balachandran, MD, principal investigator of the trial and senior study author at MSK, stated his optimism about the efficacy of this treatment.

"We find that with RNA vaccine technology, we can teach the immune system to recognize pancreatic cancer, and this immune response could potentially last for many years," he said.

"The ability to trigger a robust, long-lasting immune response is a requisite feature for any cancer vaccine."

Three Years After Experimental Vaccine, These Patients Are Still Cancer-Free

https://gizmodo.com/three-years-after-experimental-vaccine-these-patients-are-still-cancer-free-2000559585

From memory, one of three pivotal trials ongoing. I know they were planing to start a few more PhI/II trials, including one in pancreatic (based on BNTX data*).

* https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06063-y https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2024/04/07/2858841/0/en/Three-year-Phase-1-Follow-Up-Data-for-mRNA-based-Individualized-Immunotherapy-Candidate-Show-Persistence-of-Immune-Response-and-Delayed-Tumor-Recurrence-in-Some-Patients-with-Resec.html

The vaccine targets five antigens VHL, PBRM1, BAP1, KDM5C, PIK3CA.

From the paper: ''All patients generated T?cell immune responses against the PCV antigens, including to RCC driver mutations in VHL, PBRM1, BAP1, KDM5C and PIK3CA.'' https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08507-5

MRNA's vaccine targets up to 34 patient-specific neoantigens.

DCVax-L in combination with poly-iclc can certainly fix those highly mutated genes.

There is a reason why NWBO has never disclosed or talked about this trial. NWBO's -L isn't a gene therapy either.

Can you imagine the magnitude of efficacy that the latest version of DCVax-L in combination with keytruda can bring after dendritic cells present hundreds of tumor-associated antigens to immune system?

Again, there is a reason why NWBO has never disclosed or talked about this trial. Also, if a mutation is never transcribed, translated and processed, it cannot stimulate an immune response from T-cells. Looking at the data from Dr Rosenberg's group at the US NCI, as well as others, only approximately 1-6% of the mutations are actually transcribed, translated and processed, presented on the surface and can be recognised by the patient's own T-cells using current methods https://www.cell.com/cancer-cell/fulltext/S1535-6108(20)30374-3 https://aacrjournals.org/cancerdiscovery/article/9/8/1022/41919/Unique-Neoantigens-Arise-from-Somatic-Mutations-in https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/JCO.21.02170

The vaccine targets five antigens VHL, PBRM1, BAP1, KDM5C, PIK3CA. It happens that some of those antigens also exist in three types of brain tumors. DCVax-L in combination with poly-iclc can certainly fix those highly mutated genes. Here I am talking about the version of DCVax-L developed fifteen years ago. Can you imagine the magnitude of efficacy that the latest version of DCVax-L in combination with keytruda can bring after dendritic cells present hundreds of tumor-associated antigens to immune system?

CAR-macrophage therapy for HER2-overexpressing advanced solid tumors: a phase 1 trial
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) macrophages (CAR-Ms) mediate antitumor immunity via phagocytosis, cytokine release, activation of the tumor microenvironment and antigen presentation. We report results from a non-prespecified interim analysis of a first-in-human, phase 1 clinical trial of CT-0508, an anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) CAR-M in patients with advanced HER2-overexpressing tumors. Fourteen patients were treated across two different regimens. Patients with breast cancer and gastroesophageal cancer were primarily enrolled and had to have demonstrated overexpression of HER2 according to the American Society of Clinical Oncology/College of American Pathologists guidelines (HER2 immunohistochemistry 3+ or immunohistochemistry 2+/in situ hybridization-amplified). No lymphodepletion chemotherapy was used before infusion. The primary endpoints were safety and CAR-M manufacturability. Secondary endpoints included cellular kinetics and efficacy using objective response rate, overall survival, progression-free survival and duration of response. No dose-limiting toxicities, severe cytokine release syndrome (≥grade 3) or immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome were observed; 44% (n?=?4 of 9, 95% confidence interval?=?14–79%) of HER2 3+ tumors achieved stable disease as best overall response 8 weeks after treatment. No meaningful activity was observed in the HER2 2+ population (n?=?5). Correlative analyses of serial biopsies confirmed that CT-0508 traffics to and remodels the tumor microenvironment, resulting in expansion of CD8+ T cells. These findings demonstrate the preliminary safety, tolerability and manufacturing feasibility of CT-0508 for HER2+ tumors. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT04660929.
