A shared tumor-antigen RNA-lipoplex vaccine with/without anti-PD1 in patients with checkpoint-inhibition experienced melanoma.
2020
3136 Background: Cancer vaccines are considered unsuitable for patients with advanced tumours and have not been clinically successful. Methods: Lipo-MERIT is an ongoing phase 1/2 trial (NCT02410733) with melanoma FixVac, a liposomal RNA vaccine targeting four non-mutant shared tumour-associated antigens (TAAs) (MAGE-A3, NY-ESO-1, tyrosinase, TPTE). Patients with stage IIIB-C and IV melanoma are eligible. The trial comprises 7 dose escalation and 3 dose expansion cohorts, the latter with FixVac alone or combined with anti-PD1. Eight doses of FixVac are administered i.v. weekly/bi-weekly followed by optional continued monthly treatment. This abstract summarizes the findings of an exploratory…

Abstract Therapeutic vaccination with tumor antigen-encoding RNAs is being investigated in various clinical trials. Typically, the RNA vaccine is administered intradermally, subcutaneously or intranodally with the intention to get expression of the encoded antigens in local antigen-presenting cells (APCs). We have developed a novel class of RNA-lipoplex (RNA(LIP)) immunotherapeutics for intravenous application, which allow systemic targeting of APCs. RNA(LIP) is a novel nanoparticulate formulation of lipid-complexed mRNA which selectively delivers the functional mRNA to APCs in lymphoid compartments body-wide for efficient mRNA uptake and expression of the encoded antigen by APCs. Moreover,…

BackgroundLipo-MERIT is an ongoing, first-in-human, open-label, dose-escalation Phase I trial investigating safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of BNT111 in patients with advanced melanoma. BNT111 is an RNA-LPX vaccine targeting the melanoma tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) New York esophageal squamous cell carcinoma 1 (NY-ESO-1), tyrosinase, melanoma-associated antigen 3 (MAGE-A3), and transmembrane phosphatase with tensin homology (TPTE). A previous exploratory interim analysis showed that BNT111, alone or combined with immune checkpoint inhibition (CPI), has a favorable adverse event (AE) profile, gives rise to antigen-specific T-cell responses and induces durable objective responses…
Naturally occurring autoantibodies interfere with β-amyloid metabolism and improve cognition in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease 24 h …

There is evidence that naturally occurring antibodies directed against Aβ (nAbs-Aβ) have a role in Aβ-metabolism and Aβ-clearance. The presence of nAbs-Aβ leads to a reduction in amyloid fibrillation and thus a reduction in their toxicity. We investigated the effects of nAbs-Aβ in respect to oligomerization and used the Tg2576 transgenic mouse model in order to investigate the rapid effect with a single-dose (24 h) on oligomer breakdown and cytokine secretion along with immunohistochemical characterization of synaptic plasticity. nAbs-Aβ were able to reduce toxic oligomer concentration with an increase in Aβ-monomers. Cytokine secretion was significantly reduced. Synaptic plasticity was als…
