Data from Clinical Benefit of Allogeneic Melanoma Cell Lysate–Pulsed Autologous Dendritic Cell Vaccine in MAGE-Positive Colorectal Cancer Patients
crossref(2023)
Abstract
AbstractPurpose: We evaluated the clinical benefit of an allogeneic melanoma cell lysate (MCL)–pulsed autologous dendritic cell (DC) vaccine in advanced colorectal cancer patients expressing at least one of six MAGE-A antigens overexpressed by the cell line source of the lysate.Experimental Design: DCs were cultured from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), pulsed with the allogeneic MCL, and matured using cytokines that achieved high CD83- and CCR7-expressing DCs. Each patient received up to 10 intradermal vaccinations (3-5 × 106 cells per dose) at biweekly intervals.Results: Twenty patients received a total of 161 vaccinations. Treatment was well tolerated and quality of life measurements did not vary much across time. One patient experienced partial response [5%; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1-24%] and seven achieved stable disease (35%; 95% CI, 18-57%), one of whom also achieved late tumor regression, yielding a clinical benefit response rate of 40% (95% CI, 22-61%). Although overall median progression-free survival was 2.4 months (95% CI, 1.9-4.1 months), five patients (25%) experienced prolonged progression-free survival (>6 months), two of whom (10%) remain progression-free for >27 and >37 months, respectively. This result is particularly meaningful as all patients had progressive disease before treatment. Overall, DC vaccination was associated with a serial decline in regulatory T cells. Using an antibody array, we characterized plasma protein profiles in responding patients that may correlate with vaccine activity and report a prevaccination protein signature distinguishing responders from nonresponders.Conclusion: This phase II vaccine study using mature, MCL-pulsed DCs has shown promising results and warrants further evaluation in a prospective randomized setting.
