Research Summary
To date, clinical trials of immunotherapy in patients with solid tumors have been somewhat disappointing, with response rates less than would be predicted by standard transplantable models. It seems increasingly unlikely that immunotherapy alone will prove sufficient to control advanced cancer. Thus, the development of combination strategies involving radiation, chemotherapy, and androgen manipulation as well as immune checkpoint blockade is critical to achieve clinical success. Testing a variety of combination approaches is impractical in the clinic but is achievable using a targeted model approach involving transgenic animals that spontaneously develop prostate cancer. The full genetic characterization of the specific T cells rendered unresponsive by cancer forms the scientific basis for this approach, and has the potential to define new molecular targets and pathways to augment vaccine efficacy. Finally, characterization of patients'' immune response to prostate cancer in the presence or absence of vaccination will determine new cellular targets for vaccination. In summary, the Drake laboratory has undertaken an interactive approach in which discoveries in the laboratory guide clinical trial development, and the results of these trials will feed back to the laboratory to further refine and expand the role of immunotherapy approaches for patients with prostate cancer.
