Exploration of oxidative stress-related molecular signature for clear cell renal cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
In conclusion, we conducted a thorough analysis of the expression profiles of OSRGs in ccRCC, culminating in the development of a robust prognostic model and scoring system aimed at accurately predicting survival outcomes for ccRCC patients. This endeavor has the potential to yield novel insights into redox biology and to advance the current treatment strategies for ccRCC.

Innovative therapeutic cancer vaccine PDC∗lung01 with or without anti-PD-1: an open-label, dose-escalation phase I/II study in non-small-cell lung cancer. (PubMed, ESMO Open)
PDC∗lung01 was immunogenic and had a manageable safety profile in all cohorts and met the predefined clinical objectives when combined with anti-PD-1 in metastatic NSCLC. Median PFS was positively correlated with antigen-specific T-cell expansions.

Future Directions and Priorities for Cellular Therapy in Sarcoma: A Report from the Strategic Advances in Sarcoma Science Cell Therapy Breakout. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Sarcomas are promising targets for adoptive cell therapy (ACT), as shown by afami-cel's success in synovial sarcoma, but broader impact requires new target discovery, optimal cell selection, improved conditioning, combination treatments, deeper tumor microenvironment understanding, and predictive biomarkers to achieve more durable responses for more patients.

Development of Next Generation Cell-Permeable Peptide Inhibitors for the Oncological Target MAGE-A4. (PubMed, J Med Chem)
This study provides a valuable framework for transforming potent but larger, macrocyclic peptide inhibitors into cell-permeable probes. The work presented here demonstrates progress toward further establishing MAGE-A4 as a chemically tractable oncology target.

Adoptive T-Cell Therapy in Sarcomas. (PubMed, Curr Oncol Rep)
The FDA approval of afamitresgene autoleucel for advanced synovial sarcoma and the breakthrough designation of letetresgene autoleucel for myxoid/round cell liposarcoma signify a major turning point...Tumour infiltrating lymphocyte therapy, including lifileucel, is under investigation with checkpoint inhibitors or oncolytic agents to enhance efficacy and manage toxicity...Challenges include HLA restriction, tumour heterogeneity, and manufacturing complexity. Future strategies involving novel antigens, multi-targeting, and combinatorial regimens could broaden patient eligibility and improve therapeutic outcomes.

Social support moderates quality of life outcomes during a mind-body intervention among adults with neurofibromatosis. (PubMed, J Neurooncol)
In adults with NF, baseline social support moderates social and environmental QoL in mind-body interventions. Enhancing social support early may particularly benefit individuals with initially low support, though further research is needed to identify effective strategies for achieving clinically meaningful changes.

Effect of HLA restriction on racial and ethnic disparities in access to immune therapies for advanced synovial sarcoma. (PubMed, Oncologist)
Engineered T-cells targeting MAGE-A4 have shown encouraging safety and efficacy in advanced SS; however, eligibility restrictions will lead to racial and ethnic disparities. HLA-independent solutions must be developed to counter disparities and ensure all patients have access.

FDA Approval Summary: Afamitresgene Autoleucel for Adults With HLA-Restricted MAGE-A4 Positive Unresectable or Metastatic Synovial Sarcoma After Prior Chemotherapy. (PubMed, Clin Cancer Res)
This represents the first FDA approval of a T-cell receptor gene therapy. It is also the first FDA approval specifically for SS, representing a new treatment modality for this rare population who lack effective therapies.

Review of Adoptive Cellular Therapies for the Treatment of Sarcoma. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel))
Engineered TCRs, particularly those targeting MAGE-A4 and NY-ESO-1, have shown promising clinical results in synovial sarcoma (SS) and myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCLS), leading to the recent FDA approval of afamitresgene autoleucel (afami-cel) and letetresgene autoleucel (lete-cel)...Future research will focus on optimizing lymphodepleting regimens, mitigating toxicity, enhancing in vivo persistence, and combining ACT with other therapeutic agents. As clinical trials expand, ACT holds the potential to revolutionize sarcoma treatment by offering durable, targeted therapies for previously refractory disease.

101 Machine Learning Algorithms for Mining Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Neoantigen Prognostic Models in Single-Cell Data. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
This study primarily simulates the tumor microenvironment (TME) and antigen presentation processes in ESCC patients, predicting the role of the neoantigen-based prognostic model in ESCC patients and their potential responses to immunotherapy. These results suggest a potential approach for identifying therapeutic targets in ESCC, which may contribute to the development of more effective treatment strategies.

Expression of Cancer-Testis Antigens MAGE-A1, MAGE-A4, NY-ESO-1 and PRAME in Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcomas: The Experience From a Single Center in China. (PubMed, Cancer Med)
CTA expression in bone and soft tissue sarcomas was correlated with both CTA type and sarcoma subtype, showing relatively high levels of expression in undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and osteosarcoma (OS). The poly-expression of MAGE-A4, PRAME, and MAGE-A1 across all subtypes suggests that these antigens may serve as potential targets for sarcoma-specific immunotherapy.

Mapping MAGE-A4 expression in solid cancers for targeted therapies. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
These data highlight the variability of MAGE-A4 expression across different cancer types and underscore its relevance as a potential target of novel precision medicines. The significant presence of MAGE-A4 in specific cancers suggests potential for stratified therapeutic approaches and warrants further investigation into its role in oncogenesis and treatment response.
