CRISPR-Cas9 a boon or bane: the bumpy road ahead to cancer therapeutics. They are approved to treat patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, tisagenlecleucel) and diffuse-large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL, tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagen-ciloleucel). This review focuses on clinical and pre-clinical findings that might guide future clinical application of CPIs in general. Indeed, lung cancer immunotherapy has greatly benefitted from the latest mechanistic understanding of inhibitory molecules expressed on the T-lymphocyte surface and involved in modulating antigen-specific T-cell responses. Article Blank CU, Rozeman EA, Fanchi LF, Sikorska K, van de Wiel B, Kvistborg P, et al. Due to the large number of clinically approved immunomodulatory agents (currently more than 25) and many more in pre-clinical and clinical development, there is an almost infinite number of combinatorial regimens for further clinical evaluation. The field of cancer immunotherapy has seen many highs and lows between Coley’s toxins and the myriad of approaches under development today.

One example are gene fusions producing immunogenic neoantigens. Alternative approaches are genetic modification of the T cell receptor (TCR) itself or the adoptive transfer of “naturally” occurring tumor reactive T cells (also termed tumor infiltrating lymphocytes or TILs) isolated from autologous tumor tissue or tumor draining lymph nodes (Fig. J Clin Oncol. Ying Z, Huang XF, Xiang X, Liu Y, Kang X, Song Y, et al. In a multivariate analysis which included performance status and presence of brain metastases, patients who received glucocorticoids at the start of treatment responded significantly worse to CPI administration [67]. View the SITC Meeting Code of Conduct. Translational results from an ongoing phase I/II trial (NCT01976585) investigating local radiotherapy in combination with local application of immunostimulatory agents in patients with indolent lymphoma further support the combination of radiotherapy and PD-1 / PD-L1 blockade [21]. Akce M, Zaidi MY, Waller EK, El-Rayes BF, Lesinski GB. Further research is necessary to integrate the aforementioned tissue biomarkers into one clinical applicable diagnostic algorithm. Immunotherapy is heralded as one of the most important advances in oncology. The safety and efficacy of CPIs in patients with pre-existing autoimmune diseases has been recently studied in a French registry study including different tumor entities [70].

On the one hand, the phase III trial IMpassion130 tested the combination of atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) plus nab-paclitaxel versus nab-paclitaxel monotherapy in treatment-naïve patients with metastatic, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Nevertheless, despite encouraging results being obtained in this trial, many open questions remain. Gargett T, Brown MP. 2017;8(23):38056–60. The underlying mechanism remained unexplained for a long period and it took almost another 50 years, before Demaria et al. These strategies include: (I) modification of the chimeric antigen receptor cell itself [85, 86]; (II) identification of predictive biomarkers for CAR T cell toxicity [84]; (III) “safety switches” such as inducible suicide genes [87]; and (IV) novel drugs to mitigate CRS and NE [88]. PubMed Google Scholar. After a median follow-up time of 14 months, median duration of response was not reached.

In this context, the timely administration of PD-1 blockade appeared to be important: patients receiving durvalumab within 14 days after completion of chemoradiotherapy had a better overall survival than patients starting durvalumab-treatment at a later time point [25]. Most clinical trials on CPI therapy have excluded patients with pre-existing autoimmune diseases or human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV). Neelapu SS, Locke FL, Bartlett NL, Lekakis LJ, Miklos DB, Jacobson CA, et al. Only few studies have investigated sPD-1 and sPDL-1 as biomarkers for response to checkpoint blockade. 2018;9(4):610–7.

Tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagen-ciloleucel were the first two cellular cancer immunotherapies receiving FDA and EMA approval in 2017 and 2018, respectively. All authors read and approved the final manuscript. Independent of PD-L1 expression, nivolumab plus ipilimumab was superior to chemotherapy in patients with high TMB [52]. These studies, however, were not controlled for lead time bias [66] and it is therefore not clear, whether IrAEs are truly independent predictors for response or merely reflect a longer time under treatment.

Reflecting the increasing metastatic burden, survival decreases sharply with increasing stage. Theoretically, neoadjuvant immunotherapy might be able to prime systemic immunity for tumor surveillance after complete resection – at a time point when tumor antigens are still abundantly present [37]. Regression of non-irradiated lesions after localized radiotherapy of a single lesion was first termed ‘abscopal effect’ in 1958 [17].

In: Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research; Atlanta; 2019. Signatures of mutational processes in human cancer. Immunotherapy. Given the success of ipilimumab and the even greater success of PD-1-blockade, it is not surprising, that - with more than 250 clinical trials - the combination of PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockade is the most vigorously investigated combinational approach of two immunomodulatory drugs [4]. While these results support the high therapeutic potential of CAR T cell therapy, a cohort of patients does not respond to – or relapses after – CAR T cell therapy. Different strategies to translate the striking success of CAR Recently published data from the IMmotion150 trial suggests that these signatures could even be superior to TMB in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma: patients were randomized between the combination of atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) +/− bevacizumab versus sunitinib. Optimal patient management will come with ability to identify the appropriate combination of the available immunotherapeutics and conventional chemo/radio –therapeutics.

Actions for selected chapters. In this study, nivolumab was compared to ipilimumab as adjuvant therapy for patients after resection of stage III-IV melanoma. Immunotherapy is heralded as one of the most important advances in oncology. Such gene fusions were recently shown to predict response to checkpoint blockade in HNSCC patients with low TMB and minimal immune cell infiltrate [54]. CAS This concept is supported by recent translational findings from an early clinical study in patients with resectable melanoma: in a randomized phase Ib study, neoadjuvant treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab induced a higher number of tumor specific T cell clones than adjuvant treatment [38]. Direct molecular mimicry enables off-target cardiovascular toxicity by an enhanced affinity TCR designed for cancer immunotherapy. Alexandrov LB, Nik-Zainal S, Wedge DC, Aparicio SAJR, Behjati S, Biankin AV, et al. Hum Vaccin Immunother. One small study in NSCLC patients suggested that high sPD-L1 levels predict poor response to nivolumab [57], a finding that is somewhat contrary to tissue PD-L1, because high PD-L1 tissue expression indicates higher likelihood of response to checkpoint blockade. However, a study that requires better understanding of the methods and can be used to determine patients who are likely to experience durable benefits to therapy is currently concentrated. 2015;3(6):610–9.

Despite the very limited number of patients, this study shows an exciting treatment concept for this specific treatment group [44]. T-effector, interferon-γ and myeloid inflammatory gene expression signatures were superior to TMB in predicting response to atezolizumab [53]. Apart from the biomarkers mentioned above, different inflammatory TMB-signatures determined in tumor tissues can serve as biomarkers for checkpoint blockade.

CRISPR-Cas9 a boon or bane: the bumpy road ahead to cancer therapeutics. They are approved to treat patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL, tisagenlecleucel) and diffuse-large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL, tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagen-ciloleucel). This review focuses on clinical and pre-clinical findings that might guide future clinical application of CPIs in general. Indeed, lung cancer immunotherapy has greatly benefitted from the latest mechanistic understanding of inhibitory molecules expressed on the T-lymphocyte surface and involved in modulating antigen-specific T-cell responses. Article Blank CU, Rozeman EA, Fanchi LF, Sikorska K, van de Wiel B, Kvistborg P, et al. Due to the large number of clinically approved immunomodulatory agents (currently more than 25) and many more in pre-clinical and clinical development, there is an almost infinite number of combinatorial regimens for further clinical evaluation. The field of cancer immunotherapy has seen many highs and lows between Coley’s toxins and the myriad of approaches under development today. The phase III IMpassion130 trial comparing chemotherapy plus atezolizumab versus chemotherapy plus placebo brought breast cancer into the immunotherapy era.

One example are gene fusions producing immunogenic neoantigens. Alternative approaches are genetic modification of the T cell receptor (TCR) itself or the adoptive transfer of “naturally” occurring tumor reactive T cells (also termed tumor infiltrating lymphocytes or TILs) isolated from autologous tumor tissue or tumor draining lymph nodes (Fig. J Clin Oncol. Ying Z, Huang XF, Xiang X, Liu Y, Kang X, Song Y, et al. In a multivariate analysis which included performance status and presence of brain metastases, patients who received glucocorticoids at the start of treatment responded significantly worse to CPI administration [67]. View the SITC Meeting Code of Conduct. Translational results from an ongoing phase I/II trial (NCT01976585) investigating local radiotherapy in combination with local application of immunostimulatory agents in patients with indolent lymphoma further support the combination of radiotherapy and PD-1 / PD-L1 blockade [21]. Akce M, Zaidi MY, Waller EK, El-Rayes BF, Lesinski GB. Further research is necessary to integrate the aforementioned tissue biomarkers into one clinical applicable diagnostic algorithm. Immunotherapy is heralded as one of the most important advances in oncology. The safety and efficacy of CPIs in patients with pre-existing autoimmune diseases has been recently studied in a French registry study including different tumor entities [70].

On the one hand, the phase III trial IMpassion130 tested the combination of atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) plus nab-paclitaxel versus nab-paclitaxel monotherapy in treatment-naïve patients with metastatic, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Nevertheless, despite encouraging results being obtained in this trial, many open questions remain. Gargett T, Brown MP. 2017;8(23):38056–60. The underlying mechanism remained unexplained for a long period and it took almost another 50 years, before Demaria et al. These strategies include: (I) modification of the chimeric antigen receptor cell itself [85, 86]; (II) identification of predictive biomarkers for CAR T cell toxicity [84]; (III) “safety switches” such as inducible suicide genes [87]; and (IV) novel drugs to mitigate CRS and NE [88]. PubMed Google Scholar. After a median follow-up time of 14 months, median duration of response was not reached.

In this context, the timely administration of PD-1 blockade appeared to be important: patients receiving durvalumab within 14 days after completion of chemoradiotherapy had a better overall survival than patients starting durvalumab-treatment at a later time point [25]. Most clinical trials on CPI therapy have excluded patients with pre-existing autoimmune diseases or human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV). Neelapu SS, Locke FL, Bartlett NL, Lekakis LJ, Miklos DB, Jacobson CA, et al. Only few studies have investigated sPD-1 and sPDL-1 as biomarkers for response to checkpoint blockade. 2018;9(4):610–7.

Tisagenlecleucel and axicabtagen-ciloleucel were the first two cellular cancer immunotherapies receiving FDA and EMA approval in 2017 and 2018, respectively. All authors read and approved the final manuscript. Independent of PD-L1 expression, nivolumab plus ipilimumab was superior to chemotherapy in patients with high TMB [52]. These studies, however, were not controlled for lead time bias [66] and it is therefore not clear, whether IrAEs are truly independent predictors for response or merely reflect a longer time under treatment. Science (New York, NY). T-cell checkpoint inhibitors are revolutionizing the management of advanced cancers including non-small cell lung cancer and melanoma. 2018;6(1):8. J Clin Oncol.

Reflecting the increasing metastatic burden, survival decreases sharply with increasing stage. Theoretically, neoadjuvant immunotherapy might be able to prime systemic immunity for tumor surveillance after complete resection – at a time point when tumor antigens are still abundantly present [37]. Regression of non-irradiated lesions after localized radiotherapy of a single lesion was first termed ‘abscopal effect’ in 1958 [17].

In: Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research; Atlanta; 2019. Signatures of mutational processes in human cancer. Immunotherapy. Given the success of ipilimumab and the even greater success of PD-1-blockade, it is not surprising, that - with more than 250 clinical trials - the combination of PD-1 and CTLA-4 blockade is the most vigorously investigated combinational approach of two immunomodulatory drugs [4]. While these results support the high therapeutic potential of CAR T cell therapy, a cohort of patients does not respond to – or relapses after – CAR T cell therapy. Different strategies to translate the striking success of CAR Recently published data from the IMmotion150 trial suggests that these signatures could even be superior to TMB in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma: patients were randomized between the combination of atezolizumab (anti-PD-L1) +/− bevacizumab versus sunitinib. Optimal patient management will come with ability to identify the appropriate combination of the available immunotherapeutics and conventional chemo/radio –therapeutics.

Actions for selected chapters. In this study, nivolumab was compared to ipilimumab as adjuvant therapy for patients after resection of stage III-IV melanoma. Immunotherapy is heralded as one of the most important advances in oncology. Such gene fusions were recently shown to predict response to checkpoint blockade in HNSCC patients with low TMB and minimal immune cell infiltrate [54]. CAS This concept is supported by recent translational findings from an early clinical study in patients with resectable melanoma: in a randomized phase Ib study, neoadjuvant treatment with nivolumab and ipilimumab induced a higher number of tumor specific T cell clones than adjuvant treatment [38]. Direct molecular mimicry enables off-target cardiovascular toxicity by an enhanced affinity TCR designed for cancer immunotherapy. Alexandrov LB, Nik-Zainal S, Wedge DC, Aparicio SAJR, Behjati S, Biankin AV, et al. Hum Vaccin Immunother. One small study in NSCLC patients suggested that high sPD-L1 levels predict poor response to nivolumab [57], a finding that is somewhat contrary to tissue PD-L1, because high PD-L1 tissue expression indicates higher likelihood of response to checkpoint blockade. However, a study that requires better understanding of the methods and can be used to determine patients who are likely to experience durable benefits to therapy is currently concentrated. 2015;3(6):610–9.

Despite the very limited number of patients, this study shows an exciting treatment concept for this specific treatment group [44]. T-effector, interferon-γ and myeloid inflammatory gene expression signatures were superior to TMB in predicting response to atezolizumab [53]. Apart from the biomarkers mentioned above, different inflammatory TMB-signatures determined in tumor tissues can serve as biomarkers for checkpoint blockade.
