PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Multiple myeloma is the second most common hematological malignancy and despite improved patient outcomes in the era of novel agents, it remains largely incurable. Clinical studies show that autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) remains an efficacious consolidation treatment for eligible patients and a subset of transplant recipients achieve long-term control of disease. Currently, the prolongation of plateau-phase induced by ASCT is attributed to the use of myeloablative chemotherapy and cytoreduction. However, ASCT generates inflammation and profound lymphodepletion, whilst disrupting the marrow microenvironment, all of which has the potential to induce anti-myeloma immunity. In our parent U01, we have utilized novel preclinical models to provide definitive evidence that ASCT invokes myeloma-specific Th1 immunity and the re-establishment of a state of immune equilibrium. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that disease progression after ASCT in these systems is a result of CD8 T cell exhaustion that is dependent on the accumulation of myeloid suppressive populations and the expression of multiple checkpoint molecules by CD8 T cells. This proposal will study the ability to invoke long term myeloma-specific immune control by optimizing the administration of a novel Th1 inducing synthetic cytokine, DR-18. DR-18 is a decoy resistant IL-18 that is not inactivated by the decoy IL-18 binding protein and preliminary data suggests it is highly effective in preventing myeloma progression. By working with the Ring/Bosenberg U01 that developed DR-18, the major focus of this supplementary award will be the optimization of this therapy for translation into the clinic in patients with myeloma over the next 1-2 years.

项目概要/摘要 多发性骨髓瘤是第二常见的血液恶性肿瘤，尽管患者病情有所改善 尽管在新药物时代的结果中，它在很大程度上仍然是无法治愈的。临床研究表明，自体干细胞 对于符合条件的患者和一小部分患者来说，移植（ASCT）仍然是一种有效的巩固治疗方法。 移植受者实现疾病的长期控制。目前，平台期的延长导致 ASCT 归因于清髓性化疗和细胞减灭术的使用。然而，ASCT 产生 炎症和严重的淋巴细胞耗竭，同时破坏骨髓微环境，所有这些都有 诱导抗骨髓瘤免疫的潜力。在我们的母公司 U01 中，我们利用新颖的临床前模型来 提供确凿的证据表明 ASCT 可以激发骨髓瘤特异性 Th1 免疫并重建 免疫平衡状态。此外，我们已经证明，这些患者 ASCT 后疾病进展 系统是 CD8 T 细胞耗竭的结果，依赖于骨髓抑制的积累 群体和 CD8 T 细胞表达多个检查点分子。本提案将研究 通过优化新型 Th1 的给药来调用长期骨髓瘤特异性免疫控制的能力 诱导合成细胞因子 DR-18。 DR-18 是一种诱饵抗性 IL-18，不会被诱饵 IL-18 灭活 结合蛋白和初步数据表明它在预防骨髓瘤进展方面非常有效。经过 与开发 DR-18 的 Ring/Bosenberg U01 合作，该补充奖项的主要焦点将是 是该疗法在未来 1-2​​ 年内转化为骨髓瘤患者临床的优化方案。
