A phase I clinical study of vaccination of melanoma patients with dendritic cells loaded with allogeneic apoptotic/necrotic melanoma cells. Analysis of toxicity and immune response to the vaccine and of IL-10 -1082 promoter genotype as predictor of disease progression

Abstract: Background: Sixteen melanoma patients (1 stage IIC, 8 stage III, and 7 stage IV) were treated in a Phase I study with a vaccine (DC/Apo-Nec) composed of autologous dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with a mixture of apoptotic/necrotic allogeneic melanoma cell lines (Apo-Nec), to evaluate toxicity and immune responses. Also, IL-10 1082 genotype was analyzed in an effort to predict disease progression.

“…Cellular immunotherapy using allogeneic tumor cells has been found to have a good safety profile (2,3) and in some studies where DCs are targeted, generated a CTL response (43,44). Several platforms using modified allogeneic cells have been introduced.…”

“…20,32,33 Indeed, this is in line with most other publications regarding IL-10 polymorphisms and melanoma. [22][23][24][26][27][28] In contrast, Nagano et al 34 reported that 'low-expression' IL-10 polymorphisms significantly protected from non-melanoma skin cancer. This may indicate that the effects of IL-10 differ in different skin cancer entities.…”

“…In addition, this genotype was a risk factor for poor disease outcome. In contrast, Liu et al 25 reported that the IL-10 À1087AA lowexpression genotype was associated with a longer survival in metastasized melanoma patients, whereas von Euw et al 28 found an accelerated tumour progression in AA genotypes. Alonso et al 26 reported no association of the IL-10 À1087AG , IL-10 À824CT and IL-10 À597AC polymorphisms with melanoma susceptibility; however, once again, decreased survival was observed in patients with the IL-10 À1087AA genotype.…”

“…Several in vivo and clinical trials have been conducted on DC vaccine (Steinman and Pope, 2002;von Euw et al, 2008). In exploring a tumor vaccine, researchers have used a variety of strategies to develop a DC vaccine that can stimulate a tumor-specific immune response.…”
