PRAME is highly and frequently expressed in NUT carcinoma, and the most common oncoprotein causing NUT carcinoma, BRD4::NUTM1, contributes to these high PRAME levels. PRAME epitopes presented by HLA class I are a previously unrecognized therapeutic vulnerability for NUT carcinoma that warrants clinical trials testing PRAME-targeted immunotherapies in this neglected patient population.

Patients enrolled in the phase 1 part of CD-TCR-001 displayed signs of potential clinical and biological activity of MDG1011 among the small number of patients studied. Advanced disease stage and rapid progression in the r/r AML patients limited clinical impact. The acceptable safety profile of MDG1011 merits further investigation of this TCR-T therapy, potentially in patients at an earlier stage of their disease and with lower tumor burden.
