Afamitresgene autoleucel for advanced synovial sarcoma and myxoid round cell liposarcoma (SPEARHEAD-1): an international, open-label, phase 2 trial. (PubMed, Lancet)
Afami-cel treatment resulted in durable responses in heavily pre-treated patients with HLA-A*02 and MAGE-A4-expressing synovial sarcoma. This study shows that T-cell receptor therapy can be used to effectively target solid tumours and provides rationale to expand this approach to other solid malignancies.

Updates in the Management of Uveal Melanoma. (PubMed, Cancer J)
The evolving landscape includes promising systemic treatments, such as tebentafusp, a novel immune-modulating bispecific fusion protein, and targeted therapies...Although recent progress has improved outcomes, ongoing research aims to address the unique challenges of UM and develop effective therapies, particularly for HLA-A*02:01-negative patients who represent a significant unmet medical need. This review comprehensively discusses the molecular characteristics of UM, risk stratification methods, and the current and future spectrum of regional and systemic therapeutic modalities.

Cross-reactive CD8+ T cell responses to tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) and homologous microbiota-derived antigens (MoAs). (PubMed, J Exp Clin Cancer Res)
Several predicted microbiota-derived MoAs are recognized by T cells in HS and CP. Reactivity against TAAs was observed also in HS, primed by the homologous bacterial antigens. CD8+ T cells cross-reacting with MAGE-A1 and paired microbiota epitopes were identified in three subjects. Therefore, the microbiota can elicit an extensive repertoire of natural memory T cells to TAAs, possibly able to control tumor growth ("natural anti-cancer vaccination"). In addition, non-self MoAs can be included in preventive/therapeutic off-the-shelf cancer vaccines with more potent anti-tumor efficacy than those based on TAAs.

An Efficient Approach to the Accurate Prediction of Mutational Effects in Antigen Binding to the MHC1. (PubMed, Molecules)
This represents a significant improvement over the conventional MM/GBSA method, which yields a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.22. The computational protocol developed in this study can be applied to the computational screening of antigens for the MHC1 as well as other protein-peptide binding systems.

Preclinical evaluation of a novel CAR-T therapy utilizing a scFv antibody highly specific to MAGE-A4/HLA-A*02:01 complex. (PubMed, Mol Ther)
Of note, a comprehensive analysis revealed that a broad range of amino acid sequences of the MAGE-A4p peptide were critical for the recognition of MAGE-A4 pMHC by these CAR-T cells, and no cross-reactivity to analogous peptides was observed. Thus, MAGE-A4-targeted CAR-T therapy using this scFv antibody may be a promising and safe treatment for solid tumors.

Micro-Chimerism Detected By Highly Sensitive AlloHemeTM Solution Is Associated with Treatment Response and Relapse after Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation (TCT-ASTCT-CIBMTR 2024)
Trial 2: NCT05473910 (TSCAN-001, TScan Inc.) is a multi-arm non-randomized controlled Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of TScan's TSC100 and TSC101 - allogeneic T-cell receptor-engineered T cells that target haematopoietically restricted antigens HA-1 and HA-2 respectively, both presented on HLA-A*02:01, in mismatched reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC)-haplo donor HCT recipients. Additionally, where MRD results were available, AH CD33 iMC was associated with MRD (p=0.019, N=79) (Table 3). These interim results suggest a potential utility of MC measured by AlloHeme, an ultra-sensitive NGS-based chimerism monitoring solution, as a non-invasive predictive biomarker for treatment response and relapse in post allo-HCT patients.

TSC-100 and TSC-101, TCR-T Cell Therapies That Target Residual Recipient Cells after Reduced Intensity Conditioning Transplantation, Induce Complete Donor Chimerism with Favorable Prognosis: Early Results of a Phase 1 Trial (TCT-ASTCT-CIBMTR 2024)
The prognostic value of complete donor chimerism by AlloHeme was evaluated in the ACROBAT study (NCT04635384) in which 73 patients achieved >99.9% chimerism in CD33+ cells and, after median follow-up of 9 months/ 270 days (range 72-608 days), 3 relapsed (4%), comparing favorably with 18-20% 6-month relapse rates in CIBMTR data. In summary, TSC-100 and TSC-101 post-HCT induce MRD negativity and complete donor chimerism which may be associated with substantially reduced relapse rates.

Overall Survival From Tebentafusp Versus Nivolumab Plus Ipilimumab in First Line Metastatic Uveal Melanoma: A Propensity Score Weighted Analysis. (PubMed, Ann Oncol)
Tebentafusp was previously shown to provide an OS benefit compared to checkpoint inhibitors or chemotherapy in untreated mUM. Propensity score analysis demonstrated a similar OS benefit for tebentafusp compared with N+I. These data further support tebentafusp as the standard of care in previously untreated HLA-A*02:01+ adult patients with mUM.
