Journal ArticleDOI
Administration of a CD25-Directed Immunotoxin, LMB-2, to Patients with Metastatic Melanoma Induces a Selective Partial Reduction in Regulatory T Cells In Vivo
Daniel J. Powell,Aloisio Felipe-Silva,Maria J. Merino,Mojgan Ahmadzadeh,Tamika Allen,Catherine Levy,Donald E. White,Sharon Mavroukakis,Robert J. Kreitman,Steven A. Rosenberg,Ira Pastan +10 more
TL;DR: The capacity of a CD25-directed immunotoxin to selectively mediate a transient partial reduction in circulating and tumor-infiltrating Treg cells in vivo is demonstrated and it is suggested that more comprehensive Treg cell elimination may be required to bolster antitumor responses in patients with metastatic melanoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inability to immunize patients with metastatic melanoma using plasmid DNA encoding the gp100 melanoma-melanocyte antigen
Steven A. Rosenberg,James Chih-Hsin Yang,Richard M. Sherry,Patrick Hwu,Suzanne L. Topalian,Douglas J. Schwartzentruber,Nicholas P. Restifo,Leah R. Haworth,Claudia A. Seipp,Linda J. Freezer,Kathleen E. Morton,Sharon Mavroukakis,Donald E. White +12 more
TL;DR: Of 13 patients with cells available before and after immunization, no patient exhibited evidence of the development of anti-gp100 cell responses using in vitro boost assays, and it was unable to demonstrate significant clinical or immunologic responses to plasmid DNA encoding the "self" nonmutated gp100 tumor antigen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunization of patients with metastatic melanoma using both class I- and class II-restricted peptides from melanoma-associated antigens
Giao Q. Phan,Christopher E. Touloukian,James Chih-Hsin Yang,Nicholas P. Restifo,Richard M. Sherry,Patrick Hwu,Suzanne L. Topalian,Douglas J. Schwartzentruber,Claudia A. Seipp,Linda J. Freezer,Kathleen E. Morton,Sharon Mavroukakis,Donald E. White,Steven A. Rosenberg +13 more
TL;DR: Two consecutive clinical trials evaluating the impact of immunization with both human leukocyte antigen class I- and class II-restricted peptides from the gp100 melanoma antigen find that the sequential, nonrandomized nature of patient enrollment for the two trials may account for the differences in immunologic response.
Journal Article
Recombinant Fowlpox Viruses Encoding the Anchor-modified gp100 Melanoma Antigen Can Generate Antitumor Immune Responses in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma
Steven A. Rosenberg,James Chih-Hsin Yang,Douglas J. Schwartzentruber,Patrick Hwu,Suzanne L. Topalian,Richard M. Sherry,Nicholas P. Restifo,John R. Wunderlich,Claudia A. Seipp,Linda Rogers-Freezer,Kathleen E. Morton,Sharon Mavroukakis,Linda Gritz,Dennis Panicali,Donald E. White +14 more
TL;DR: The data underscore the importance of modifying anchor residues of nonmutated self-antigen peptides to generate cellular immune responses after immunization and support the further investigation of recombinant fowlpox viruses encoding modified epitopes administered in combination with IL-2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunization of HLA-A*0201 and/or HLA-DPβ1*04 Patients with Metastatic Melanoma Using Epitopes from the NY-ESO-1 Antigen
Hung T. Khong,James Chih-Hsin Yang,Suzanne L. Topalian,Richard M. Sherry,Sharon Mavroukakis,Donald E. White,Steven A. Rosenberg +6 more
TL;DR: Questions are raised about the use of synthetic peptides derived from NY-ESO-1 as a sole form of immunization, as vaccination with the HLA-A2-restricted epitope generated primarily T cells that did not recognize tumor after in vitro sensitization.
