摘要
This trial was designed to evaluate the safety and clinical responses to a combination of temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy and immunotherapy with fusions of DCs and glioma cells in patients with glioblastoma (GBM). GBM patients were assigned to two groups: a group of recurrent GBMs after failing TMZ-chemotherapy against the initially diagnosed glioma (Group-R) or a group of newly diagnosed GBMs (Group-N). Autologous cultured glioma cells obtained from surgical specimens were fused with autologous DCs using polyethylene glycol. The fusion cells (FC) were inoculated intradermally in the cervical region. Toxicity, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) of this trial were evaluated. Expressions of WT-1, gp-100, and MAGE-A3, recognized as chemoresistance-associated peptides (CAP), were confirmed by immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded tumor samples. Patient's PBMCs of pre- and post-vaccination were evaluated by tetramer and ELISPOT assays. FC-immunotherapy was well tolerated in all patients. Medians of PFS and OS of Group-R (n = 10) were 10.3 and 18.0 months, and those of Group-N (n = 22) were 18.3 and 30.5 months, respectively. Up-regulation and/or cytoplasmic accumulation of CAPs was observed in the recurrent tumors of Group-R patients compared with their initially excised tumors. Specific immune responses against CAPs were observed in the tetramer and ELISPOT assays. The combination of TMZ-treatment leading to up-regulation and/or cytoplasmic accumulation of CAPs, with FC-immunotherapy as a means of producing specific immunity against CAPs, may safely induce anti-tumor effects in patients with GBM.
