Re­mem­ber that per­son­al­ized can­cer vac­cine Mod­er­na was de­vel­op­ing? As the world awaits da­ta from its late-stage Covid-19 can­di­date, the mR­NA play­er is in­ter­rupt­ing its most in­ten­sive­ly watched pro­gram with an up­beat ear­ly snap­shot of da­ta from its mes­sen­ger RNA can­cer vac­cine mR­NA-4157. And the Mod­er­na team is us­ing the oc­ca­sion to in­tro­duce a new chief for their on­col­o­gy unit, raid­ed from Bris­tol My­ers Squibb’s can­cer group. When com­bined with Mer­ck’s Keytru­da in the Phase I KEYNOTE-603 tri­al, re­searchers re­port, the vac­cine ap­pears some­what ef­fec­tive in shrink­ing tu­mors. Among 10 pa­tients with HPV-neg­a­tive head and neck squa­mous cell car­ci­no­ma, the over­all re­sponse rate is 50%: 2 com­plete re­spons­es and 3 par­tial re­spons­es. And it is trans­lat­ing to con­sid­er­able ben­e­fit over the PD-1 in­hibitor alone: Me­di­an pro­gres­sion free sur­vival (mPFS) is 9.8 months, which com­pares fa­vor­ably to the pub­li...

Dendritic cells, like the one seen here in yellow, pick up antigens from tumor cells and carry them to the lymph nodes and spleen, where they are presented to T cells that mount an immune attack against the tumor. Credit: Wyss Institute at Harvard University Patients with cancer have multiple treatment options available to them today, but each has its drawbacks. Chemotherapy kills rapidly dividing cancer cells, but it also damages healthy cells in the body and often does not effectively prevent tumor metastasis or disease recurrence. Immunotherapies avoid those problems by acting on a patient's immune system to generate a sustained anti-cancer response, but frequently have trouble accessing tumors due to the immunosuppressive local environment that tumors create. Now, a new, best-of-both-worlds approach packages the cancer-killing power of chemotherapy and the long-term efficacy of immunotherapy into a biomaterial-based cancer vaccine that can be injected adjacent to a tumo...

Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc. Nov 10 2020 A clinical trial at the University of Arizona Health Sciences designed to study the safety and effectiveness of a personalized cancer vaccine in combination with the immunotherapy drug Pembrolizumab will expand its cohort after promising preliminary data was presented at the annual meeting of the Society for the Immunotherapy of Cancer. [embedded content] Julie E. Bauman, MD, MPH, deputy director of the University of Arizona Cancer Center and a professor of medicine and chief of the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the UArizona College of Medicine - Tucson, presented preliminary data on the first 10 patients with head and neck cancer, seven of which were treated at Banner - University Medicine, the clinical partner for the UArizona Cancer Center. Five of the 10 patients experienced a clinical response to the personalized cancer vaccine, and two patients had a complete response after the treatment (no detectable disease present). ...

The first patient has been dosed in a Phase 2 extension study investigating the cancer vaccine DSP-7888 (ombipepimut-S) in combination with the checkpoint inhibitor Keytruda (pembrolizumab), in people with platinum-resistantovarian cancer. The announcement follows promising data from the first portion of this Phase 1b/2 clinical trial (NCT03311334). The Phase 2 part is actively recruiting patients at sites across the United States. "Patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer have a high unmet need with limited treatment options; therefore, we are excited to advance the study of DSP-7888 plus pembrolizumab and evaluate its role and potential benefits," Patricia Andrews , said in a press release. Andrews is CEO and global head of oncology at Sumitomo Dainippon Pharma Oncology (SDP Oncology). Cancer patients are considered platinum-resistant if they

Intravenous SNAP Cancer Vaccine Generates Stem-Like (TCF1+) antigen-Specific CD8+ T cells Resulting in Improved Efficacy Tweet this "Recent discoveries in cancer immunology have demonstrated the importance of TCF1 + CD8 T cells, which have stem-like properties and show enhanced proliferation in response to checkpoint inhibitors," said Dr. Andrew Ishizuka , Avidea's Chief Scientific Officer. "Our findings reported in Nature Immunology show how the design and route of administration of the SNAP Cancer Vaccine allows for control over the proportion of TCF1 + CD8 T cells generated in vivo ." "Many vaccines can only be given by the intramuscular or subcutaneous route. By design, SNAP CV can be administered by any route, including IV, which provides maximal flexibility to control the differentiation of anti-tumor T cells as we pursue SNAP CV monotherapy and combination immunotherapies to combat cancer," said Dr. Geoffrey Lynn , Avidea's Chief Execut...

Adding UV1, Ultimovacs’ experimental cancer vaccine, to Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is safe and shows initial signs of effectiveness in adults with previously untreated metastatic melanoma, according to top-line data from a Phase 1 clinical trial. “The safety profile observed to date in this first cohort [group of patients] of the [UV1-Keytruda] combination study is consistent with the promising safety profiles seen in our earlier Phase 1 trials,” Jens Bjørheim, Ultimovacs’ chief medical officer, said in a press release. “We are encouraged by the results and look forward to additional data readouts over the next years that will demonstrate if the initial signs of efficacy in this cohort persist and mature into long-term added clinical benefit for the patients,” he added. The UV1 vaccine works by promoting immune responses against the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), an enzyme normally inactive in healthy cells and active in 85%–90% of all cancer cell typ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 23, 2020-- The "Global Dendritic Cell Cancer Vaccine Immunotherapy Market, Dosage, Price & Clinical Trials Insight 2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. In the past few years, significant breakthroughs in the medical research have led to the opening of novel doors to harness the immune system of the body against the cancer cells. For the very first time in the history of cancer therapeutics, researchers have discovered a cure that incorporates dendritic cells. The introduction of dendritic cell vaccine immunotherapy into the cancer therapeutics has caused several scientific and medical hurdles to overcome as the opportunities linked with dendritic cells treatment for the cancer patients are huge. Dendritic cell vaccine immunotherapy among all the immunotherapy treatments is considered as the most potent antigen presenting cells for the proliferation of the T-cells. The uniqueness embedded in the treatment h...

NEW YORK – Results from a Phase Ib clinical trial published Thursday in the journal Cell demonstrated the safety and preliminary efficacy of combined treatment with the personalized, neoantigen-based vaccine NEO-PV-01 and the anti-PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab (Bristol Myers Squibb's Opdivo) for patients with advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, or bladder cancer. BioNTech subsidiary Neon Therapeutics designed NEO-PV-01 to target neoepitopes encoded by somatic mutations in patients' tumors. Each personalized iteration of the vaccine evaluated in this trial consists of up to 20 unique peptides selected using bioinformatics algorithms following whole-exome and RNA sequencing of patients' tumor samples. In the Phase Ib study, patients received nivolumab for 12 weeks while their unique vaccine was manufactured. Patients did not have to meet a PD-L1 expression threshold in order to receive the immunotherapy. Ultimately, 60 patients received NEO-PV-01, includi...

A research team at Oslo University Hospital in Norway has opened a mesothelioma clinical trial using the novel UV1 cancer vaccine alongside a promising immunotherapy combination. UV1 is a peptide-based vaccine designed to induce a specific T-cell response and increase the effectiveness of the immunotherapy drugs. This is the first time UV1 will be studied with mesothelioma cancer, but it already has shown safety and signs of efficacy when used on malignant melanoma, prostate cancer and lung cancer in studies worldwide. It will be used with the immunotherapy combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab, also known by brand names Opdivo and Yervoy, respectively. UV1 is a product of Ultimovacs, a pharmaceutical company based in Oslo, Norway. The study will soon move into six other national hospitals, covering Sweden, Spain, Denmark and Australia. “Even if we can’t promise efficacy at this point, we believe mesothelioma is a relevant cancer in which to test this vaccine,” Dr. Jens Bjorhei...
