1 Targeted immunotherapy: unleashing the immune system against cancer Suzanne L. Topalian, MD Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center 2013 MMS Annual Education Program: Navigating the Currents of Change
2 Disclosure Information Suzanne L. Topalian, MD I have the following financial relationships to disclose: Consultant for: Bristol-Myers Squibb (uncompensated), Jounce Therapeutics, Sanofi, and Amplimmune (spouse) Research grant support from Bristol-Myers Squibb Royalties through institution: Amplimmune (spouse), Bristol-Myers Squibb (spouse)
3 Cancer is a genetic disease rationale for personalized medicine limitation: rapid resistance Cancer is an immunological disorder immunotherapy is a common denominator that can activate immune responses against mutant proteins the adaptable immune system can keep pace with tumor evolution
4 The adaptive immune system: an ideal anti-cancer agent Diversity T cells Antibodies Tumor cell Specificity Can distinguish minute chemical alterations T cell Memory After effective antigen priming, immunity can last for decades
5 Immune tolerance: Multiple barriers to tumor elimination Regulatory immune cells T-cell inhibitory receptors T reg cells CTLA-4, PD-1, LAG-3, etc. MDSCs Immunosuppressive cytokines IL-6, IL-10, TGF-ß, VEGF Solution: adoptive transfer of T cells optimized/engineered ex vivo Solution: systemic blockade of suppressive cytokines or inhibitory receptors/ligands ( immune checkpoints )
6 Advances in Immunotherapy 2011 Anti-CTLA-4 (ipilimumab) was approved for treating metastatic melanoma based on improved overall survival in a randomized study. However, the grade 3-4 drug-related toxicity rate approximated the clinical benefit rate Adapted from Hodi et al, NEJM 2010 Control Ipilimumab
7 Antigen presenting or tumor cell The PD-1/PD-L1 pathway: New strategies for immune checkpoint blockade T cell PD-L1 is expressed by many human tumors and may play a pivotal role in local cancer immunosuppression Pardoll 2012

11 Nivolumab (anti-pd-1) (BMS , MDX-1106, ONO-4538) Fully human IgG4 anti-human PD-1 blocking mab High affinity for PD-1 (K D ~ 3 nm), blocks binding to both known ligands: PD-L1 (B7-H1, broadly inducible) and PD-L2 (B7-DC, selective for APCs) Favorable safety profile and preliminary evidence of clinical activity in patients with treatment-refractory solid tumors in a first-in-human study (Brahmer et al., J Clin Oncol 2010)
