Personalized peptide vaccination among 173 patients with IDH wildtype glioblastoma: a retrospective analysis
Tumors from 173 GBM patients were analysed for somatic mutations to generate a personalized peptide vaccine targeting tumor-specific neoantigens. Exome libraries for 173 glioblastoma tumors and matched normal DNA were sequenced on Illumina platform, alongside whole transcriptomes from the tumor samples. Paper Abstract: Current treatment outcome of patients with glioblastoma (GBM) remains poor. Following standard therapy, recurrence is universal with limited survival. GBM tumors from 173 patients were analysed for somatic mutations to generate a personalized peptide vaccine targeting tumor-specific neoantigens. Among all patients, including 70 treated prior to progression (primary) and 103 treated after progression (recurrent), the median overall survival from first diagnosis was 31.9 months (95% CI: 25.0-36.5). Side effects were infrequent and were predominantly grade 1 or 2. A vaccine-induced immune response to at least one of the vaccinated peptides was detected in blood samples of 87 of 99 (88%) monitored patients. T-cell responses to vaccinated neoepitope peptides were durable in most patients. Significantly prolonged survival was observed for patients with multiple vaccine-induced immune responses (53 months) compared to those with no/low induced responses (27 months; P=0.03). Altogether, our results highlight that the application of personalized neoantigen-targeting peptide vaccine is feasible and represents a promising potential treatment option for GBM patients.
