7. Project Summary/Abstract
In a collaborative research project that I initiated between the labs of Prof. Paul Sondel and Prof. Paul
Harari during my residency training, we explored a novel approach to augmenting anti-tumor immune response
by combining two established cancer treatments, radiation therapy (RT) and tumor-specific antibodies (mAbs).
In single-tumor murine models of melanoma, neuroblastoma, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma we
observed a cooperative anti-tumor interaction between local RT and intratumoral (IT) injection of tumor-specific
mAb resulting, in part, from enhanced antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity. To further augment this
response, we investigated combined RT and IT-immunocytokine (IC), a fusion-protein linking tumor-specific
mAb to IL2. With this we observed a greater anti-tumor immune response resulting in complete regression of
established (~5 week post engraftment) tumors in most animals and a memory T cell response that rejected
re-challenge with similar tumor cells. This demonstrated that combined RT + IT-IC can elicit a potent “in
situ” tumor vaccine response. T cell checkpoint blockade is becoming a standard of oncologic care in
certain cancer settings and we therefore tested the benefit of adding local RT and IT-IC to systemic checkpoint
blockade in our murine melanoma model. In mice bearing large primary tumors (~ 7 week post engraftment) or
microscopic distant sites of disease (IV injected on the day of RT), the triple-combination of primary tumor RT
followed by IT-IC injection of this tumor and systemic T cell checkpoint blockade with anti-cytotoxic T-
lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) antibody improved animal survival compared to combinations of any two of
these three interventions. However, in the presence of established (~3-week post engraftment) distant sites of
disease we have now observed a key limitation to our in situ vaccination strategy. In the presence of an un-
radiated second macroscopic tumor, the combination of primary tumor RT + primary tumor IT-IC
injection is no more effective than primary tumor RT alone. This suggests that an untreated, distant
second tumor may suppress the generation of an anti-tumor immune response in the primary tumor following
RT + IT-IC. We describe this as “concomitant immune tolerance” (CIT).
Here I hypothesize that 1) in situ vaccination may be achieved using local RT and IT injection of tumor-
specific mAb with IL2, 2) regulatory T cell (Tregs) harbored in an established, macroscopic, distant tumor site
may exert CIT, and 3) delivering external beam RT (EBRT) and IT-IC to a mouse’s primary tumor, together
with IV 131I-NM404, a molecular targeted radiotherapy (MTRT), will eliminate CIT and enable an effective in situ
vaccine response to eradicate all tumors in mice with primary and distant sites of disease.
I propose to test these hypotheses in my independent research lab using established techniques and
animal models that I have used to generate robust preliminary data. I have secured the support of six
collaborators whose expert consultation and/or material assistance will help ensure the success of this
research effort. This proposal does not overlap with prior or ongoing projects in the labs of my research
mentors, who have expressed their complete support for my career development, my intellectual
independence, and my pursuit of these research objectives in the independent lab that I will launch in October.
I have previously applied for this DP5 award (for RM-15-006) and, in comparison to that prior application,
the current proposal includes multiple revisions guided by reviewer feedback. This application also reflects the
interval publication of an additional first-author original research manuscript that is directly related to the
proposed research. In an effort to enhance the level of innovation in this proposal, I have completely revised
Aim 2 and 3. Aim 2 (previous Aim 2 and 3) now specifically evaluates the critical mechanistic underpinnings of
tumor-specific CIT using transgenic murine models to decipher the role of Tregs in this never-before-reported
phenomenon. Meanwhile in Aim 3, I build from our preliminary observation that CIT can be overcome by
delivering RT to the distant second tumor site and here I propose an altogether unique approach to
circumventing CIT by combining an in situ tumor vaccine strategy with a systemic molecular targeted
radiotherapy (131I-NM404), which may safely deliver RT to all sites of metastatic disease without undue toxicity
or systemic immune suppression. In addition to these changes specifically aimed at enhancing the innovation
of this application, I have also incorporated additional, more clinically relevant, spontaneous and inducible
transgenic tumor models (Aim 1.3 and thereafter). This was done in an effort to further strengthen our robust
experimental approach. To further clarify this approach, I have also more explicitly incorporated a statistical
plan in the discussion of each sub-aim. While my prior DP5 proposal was scored quite favorably and advanced
to the final round of interviews, it is my hope that with these revisions the current application may warrant
funding. This award would clearly provide a tremendous acceleration to my independent early career
development and the pace at which my lab will be able to pursue the experiments outlined herein.
