A First-in-Human Phase 1 Study of a Tumor-Directed RNA-Interference Drug against HIF2 α in Patients with Advanced Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: ARO-HIF2 downregulated HIF2α in advanced ccRCC-inhibiting tumor growth in a subset of subjects. Further development was hampered by off-target neurotoxicity and low response rate. This study provides proof of concept that siRNA can target tumors in a specific manner.PMID:38652038 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3029 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Integrating multisector molecular characterization into personalized peptide vaccine design for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma
CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, our findings suggest NeoVax did stimulate expansion of neoantigen-specific effector T cells and provide encouraging results to aid in the development of future neoantigen vaccine-based clinical trials in patients with GBM. Herein, we demonstrate the feasibility of incorporating multisector sampling in cancer vaccine design and provide information on the clinical applicability of clonality, distribution, and immunogenicity of the neoantigen landscape in GBM patients.PMID:38639919 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3077 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)

Low-dose ionizing γ-radiation elicits the extrusion of neutrophil extracellular traps
CONCLUSIONS: NETosis is induced by low-dose ionizing irradiation in a neutrophil-intrinsic fashion and radiation-induced NETs are able to interfere with immune-mediated cytotoxicity. Radiation-induced NETs foster metastasis in mouse models and can be detected in the circulation of patients undergoing conventional radiotherapy treatments.PMID:38630754 | DOI:10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-23-3860 (Source: Clinical Cancer Research)
