摘要

Type 1 dendritic cell vaccines targeting HER2 (HER2-DC1) reinvigorates antitumor immunity which correlates with neoadjuvant therapy response. A pilot trial (clinicaltrials.gov,NCT03387553,1/2/2018) using HER2-DC1 pre-neoadjuvant therapy evaluated feasibility/safety and pathologic response rates/immunogenicity. Stage II-III ER-HER2+ breast cancer patients prescribed neoadjuvant docetaxel/carboplatin/trastuzumab/pertuzumab (TCHP) were enrolled. HER2-DC1 (2×107 cells/vaccine) was given for 3 weeks prior to chemotherapy intranodal (IN) 1x/week (Arm A), IN 2x/week (Arm B), and 2x/week alternating intratumoral (IT) and IN (Arm C). HER2 ELISPOT counts (EHC) and immunofluorescence analysis of biopsies were performed. Six patients enrolled in Arms A and B, 18 patients in Arm C. Neoadjuvant HER2-DC1 demonstrated no unexpected safety signals. Pathologic complete response rates (pCR) across arms A, B, C were 42.8%, 66.6%, and 72.7%. Intranodal HER2-DC1 increased EHC, but IT + IN HER2-DC1 reduced EHC, possibly due to increased T cell tumor trafficking. Immunofluorescence showed increased T cell infiltration following IT + IN injections. Additional IT HER2-DC1 investigation is warranted.
