Immune therapy in NSCLC Presentation –劉惠文 Supervisor –劉俊煌教授
Introduction • Immunotherapy’s evaluation has expanded into other solid tumors than melanoma (Ipilimumab). • Most patients present with advanced disease and are immune suppressed as documented by reports of decreases in peripheral and tumor lymphocyte counts seen in this patient population. • Regulatory T cells (Tregs-CD4) play a key role in suppressing tumor immune surveillance, found high level in NSCLC. Brahmer , J Clin Oncol. 31(8):1021-8, 2013
CTLA-4 and PD-1 pathway Brahmer, J Clin Oncol. 31(8):1021-8, 2013
VACCINES • Vaccines for NSCLC: effective in minimal dz (s/p resection, CCRT, C/T) • Tumor cell vaccines: advantage of exposing the host’s immune system to a myriad of tumor antigens • Antigen-based vaccines: expose the host’s immune system to a specific antigen expressed on the tumor cell Brahmer, J Clin Oncol. 31(8):1021-8, 2013
Tumor Cell Vaccines • Belagenpumatucel-L: an allogeneic tumor cell vaccine with four irradiated NSCLC cell lines (H460, H520, SKLU-1, and RH2) modified with transforming growth factor β2 (TGF-β2) antisense plasmid. • Cohort 1: 1.25 ×107 cell/injection • Cohort 2: 2.5 ×107 cell/injection • Cohort 3: 5 ×107 cell/injection • High-dose cohorts had a significantly improved OS (p=0.0069) Nemunaitis J et al, J Clin Oncol. 24:4721-4730, 2006
Antigen-Specific VaccinesMAGE-A3 • The melanoma-associated antigen-A3 (MAGE-A3) expressed melanoma and approximately 35% of NSCLCs • Tumor recurrence rate: 30.6% in vaccine vs 43.3% in placebo • Disease-free interval, OS: NS • Positive gene signature group had a 43% relative risk reduction of cancer recurrence with vaccine treatment vs 25% in unselective group. • Phase III MAGRIT: ongoing Brahmer, J Clin Oncol. 31(8):1021-8, 2013
Others • One dose of cyclophosphamide (300 to 600 mg/m2) was given 3 days before the first vaccine to inhibit Tregs to enhance the immune response. • BLP-25 Phase III: START and INSPIRE trial. Target: MUC-1 Target: MUC-1 Target: EGFR Brahmer, J Clin Oncol. 31(8):1021-8, 2013
CHECK POINT INHIBITORS • CTLA-4 pathway is important in early T-cell activation. • Ipilimumab blocks the interaction between CTLA-4 and its ligands, CD80 and CD86, and showed promise with C/T. Brahmer, J Clin Oncol. 31(8):1021-8, 2013
Phase II Ipilimumab Present by Julie R. Brahmer MD, at 2013 ASCO Annual meeting
Abbreviation: • irPFS: immune-related progression-free survival. • BORR: best overall response rate • ir-BORR: immune-related BORR • DCR: disease control rate • ir-DCR: immune-related DCR • mWHO: radiologic review committee by using modified WHO criteria
Response and Safety • Safety: • Grade 3-4 AEs: control 37%, concurrent 41%, phased 39% • Drug related discontinuation: control 5%, concurrent 10%, phased 6% • Two treatment related death: • Concurrent: 1 septic shock secondary to epideraml necrosis • Control: 1 neutropenic sepsis Present by Julie R. Brahmer MD, at 2013 ASCO Annual meeting
Ipilimumab irPFS: phased vs concurrent • irPFS phased: • HR 0.72, p=0.05 • The immune-related best ORR was nearly doubled for the phased schedule versus chemotherapy alone (32% v 18%) Lynch et al, J Clin Oncol. 30:2046-2054, 2012

Efficacy of PD-1 antibody Present by Julie R. Brahmer MD, at 2013 ASCO Annual meeting
Response to anti-PD-1 antibody • Tumor PD-L1 expression may be associated with response. • 36% of patients with tumor PD-L1 expression were objective responders. Brahmer, J Clin Oncol. 31(8):1021-8, 2013

Conclusion • Immunotherapy may play a role in the future of lung cancer treatment. • Checkpoint inhibitors have promising activity in NCSLC. • Check point inhibitors have a unique set of side effects consistent with immune mechanism of action. • Randomized studies are ongoing.
