    Shared epitopes create safety and efficacy concerns in several cancer vaccines. (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
    Altogether, our analysis indicates a suboptimal design of several cancer vaccines currently in clinical development: ATP128, BNT111, BNT112, BNT116, INO-5401. We recommend that next-generation cancer vaccines should integrate rigorous epitope filtering strategies to eliminate shared sequences in TAAs.

    Expression of the tumor antigens NY-ESO-1, tyrosinase, MAGE-A3, and TPTE in pediatric and adult melanoma: a retrospective case control study. (PubMed, Virchows Arch)
    BNT111, an investigational lipoplex-formulated mRNA-based therapeutic cancer vaccine encoding melanoma TAAs NY-ESO-1, tyrosinase, MAGE-A3, and TPTE, is undergoing clinical testing in adults. All four TAAs were expressed in pediatric melanoma, albeit NY-ESO-1 and MAGE-A3 to a lesser extent than in adult melanoma. These data support the possibility of investigating vaccines targeting these TAAs for the treatment of pediatric melanoma.
