  • Despite the unprecedented success
  • f PD-1/PD-L1 blockade in

melanoma (and other cancers), innate resistance occurs in the majority of patients

– Robert et al. NEJM 2015 (KEYNOTE-006) – Reck et al. NEJM 2016 (KEYNOTE- 024)

  • Robust biomarkers to guide

treatment and drug development are lacking

– Nishino et al. Nat Rev Clin Onc 2017

  • There is a great unmet need to

develop functional precision medicine approaches to guide and accelerate translational efforts (novel IO agents, combos)

Background – PD-1/PD-L1 axis in cancer

  • Existing methods to assess anti-tumor

immune responses in patients rely on remote assessment in plasma/whole blood or static measurements from biopsies (DNA, RNA, IHC/IF)

  • Novel ex vivo systems (e.g. CTCs,

PDXs, organoids) have the potential to improve personalized cancer therapy, but lack features of the native tumor immune microenvironment, and often take several weeks to generate sufficient material for drug testing

– Friedman et al. Nat Rev Cancer 2015

Background - Precision Medicine

  • “The essential job of precision medicine is to match the

right drugs to the right patients.”

  • Technologies that enable the ex vivo study of response

to anti-PD-1 and combination therapies would provide a major advance

  • Requirements for modeling immune

checkpoint blockade include:

– (1) Viable (fresh) tumor tissue – (2) Culture system that recapitulates the tumor microenvironment

  • 3D growth
  • model extracellular matrix

– (3) Immune cells: autologous, antigen- experienced immune cells to mimic the native tumor microenvironment (ideally from the tumor itself)

  • Ex vivo assessment of tumor immune response to PD-

1 blockade is possible

  • Further prospective validation is necessary to

determine the utility of this system as a predictive tool

  • Important potential of this system to identify and

personalize effective combination therapies

  • Co-targeting TBK1 with immune checkpoint blockade

may have clinical impact
