    Characteristics of a CCL21-gene modified dendritic cell vaccine utilized for a clinical trial in non-small cell lung cancer. (PubMed, Mol Cancer Ther)
    We have embarked on a phase I clinical trial of a vaccine consisting of monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs) modified to express the chemokine CCL21 (CCL21-DC) given in combination with pembrolizumab. A single freeze-thaw cycle for stored vaccines was associated with minor alterations to the DC phenotype, as was the use of healthy donors rather than patient autologous blood. Our results highlight important considerations for the production of DC vaccines and identify underexplored factors that may affect their efficacy and immunologic impact.

    CCL21-DC in situ vaccination in murine NSCLC overcomes resistance to immunotherapy and generates systemic tumor-specific immunity. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
    CCL21-DC ISV synergizes with anti-PD-1 to eradicate murine NSCLC. Our data support the clinical application of CCL21-DC ISV in combination with checkpoint inhibition for patients with NSCLC.

    In situ vaccination with CCL21-DC sensitizes non-responsive murine NSCLCs to anti-PD-1 therapy and generates systemic tumor-specific immune memory (AACR 2022)
    Combination therapy enhances anti-tumor T cell responses, resulting in immunoediting of tumor subclones and the generation of systemic tumor-specific immunity. In an ongoing clinical trial, we are evaluating the safety and efficacy of ISV with CCL21-DC in combination with anti-PD-1, pembrolizumab, in patients with advanced NSCLC who have progressed on front-line therapy.

    Our preclinical studies and phase I trial of intratumoral (IT) administration of DC genetically modified to overexpress CCL21 (CCL21-DC) revealed augmentation of tumor antigen presentation in situ, resulting in effective T cell responses and systemic antitumor immunity. Secondary objectives include adverse event profiling and determination of drug target activity by immune monitoring studies. This trial, NCT03546361, is currently open for enrollment.
