We previously reported a clinical trial (NCT02499835) evaluating PD-1 blockade combined with an anti-tumor DNA vaccine, pTVG-HP (encoding prostatic acid phosphatase), in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer...These findings suggest that patients experiencing irAEs can have immune responses to tumor irrespective of obvious anti-tumor efficacy, at least with these treatments, and underscore the importance of tumor-infiltrating professional antigen presenting cells and T-cell activation for successful immunotherapy. Moreover, our findings suggest that combining vaccines and PD-1 blockade with MDSC-targeting therapies, anti-VISTA, and/or anti-PARP therapies might be further explored.

The presence of T-cells specific for the PAP target antigen was detectable in 6/10 (60%) individuals with nmCSPC, and 3/5 (60%) individuals with nmCRPC, many years after immunization. The detection of immune responses to the vaccine target years after immunization suggests durable immunity can be elicited in patients using a DNA vaccine encoding a tumor-associated antigen.Trial Registration: NCT00582140 and NCT00849121.

In this population, combining nivolumab with pTVG-HP vaccination was safe, and immunologically active, prolonged the time to disease progression, but did not eradicate disease. Quantitative imaging suggested that additional treatments targeting mechanisms of resistance may be required to eliminate tumors.
