Long-lasting antitumor effects provided by radiotherapy combined with the immunocytokine L19-IL2
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently, we have shown that radiotherapy (RT) combined with L19-IL2 can induce a long-lasting antitumor effect, dependent on ED-B expression and infiltration of cytotoxic T cells. These findings will be translated to a Phase I clinical study (NCT02086721) in patients with oligometastatic solid tumors. See this link for the animation: http://youtu.be/xHbwQuCTkRc.

Radiotherapy combined with the immunocytokine L19-IL2 provides long-lasting antitumor effects.
PURPOSE Radiotherapy modifies the tumor microenvironment and causes the release of tumor antigens, which can enhance the effect of immunotherapy. L19 targets the extra domain B (ED-B) of fibronectin, a marker for tumor neoangiogenesis, and can be used as immunocytokine when coupled to IL2. We hypothesize that radiotherapy in combination with L19-IL2 provides an enhanced antitumor effect, which ...

متن کاملComplete eradication of human B-cell lymphoma xenografts using rituximab in combination with the immunocytokine L19-IL2.
The antibody-mediated delivery of therapeutic agents to sites of angiogenesis is an attractive strategy for anticancer therapy, but is largely unexplored in hematologic malignancies. In the present study, we show that the extra domain B (EDB) of fibronectin, a marker of angiogenesis, is expressed in B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and that the human monoclonal anti-EDB antibody L19 can select...
متن کاملThe targeted immunocytokine L19-IL2 efficiently inhibits the growth of orthotopic pancreatic cancer.
PURPOSE Effective control of pancreatic cancer has been hampered primarily by the lack of tumor specificity of current treatment modalities. The highly specific antibody-mediated delivery of therapeutic agents to the tumor microenvironment might overcome this problem. We therefore investigated the therapeutic efficacy of the targeted immunocytokine L19-Interleukin-2 (L19-IL2), consisting of the...
متن کاملTargeting Syndecan-1, a molecule implicated in the process of vasculogenic mimicry, enhances the therapeutic efficacy of the L19-IL2 immunocytokine in human melanoma xenografts
Anti-angiogenic therapy of solid tumors has until now failed to produce the long lasting clinical benefits desired, possibly due to the complexity of the neoangiogenic process. Indeed, a prominent role is played by "vasculogenic" or "vascular" mimicry (VM), a phenomenon in which aggressive cancer cells form an alternative microvascular circulation, independently of endothelial cell angiogenesis...
