Abstract Purpose: To identify a predictive biomarker for durvalumab, an anti–programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) mAb. Experimental Design: RNA sequencing of 97 advanced-stage non–small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) biopsies from nonrandomized phase Ib/II clinical trial (1108/NCT01693562) were profiled to signature; 62 locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer tumors the same study confirm utility signature. Thirty NSCLC patients provided pre- and posttreatment messenger (mRNA) analysis....

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are major negative regulators of immune responses in cancer and chronic infections. It remains unclear if regulation MDSC activity different conditions is controlled by similar mechanisms. We compared MDSCs mice with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection. Chronic LCMV infection caused the development monocytic (M-MDSCs) but did not induce polymorphonuclear (PMN-MDSCs). In contrast, both populations were present models. An acquisition...

B cells impact the progression of systemic sclerosis (SSc; scleroderma) through multiple pathogenic mechanisms. CD19 inhibition in mice reduced skin thickness, collagen production, and autoantibody levels, consistent with expression on plasma (PCs), source antibody production. PC depletion could effectively reduce deposition inflammation SSc; therefore, we investigated effects SSc disease activity.A gene signature was evaluated biopsy samples 2 phase I clinical trials.

Lung fibrosis is an unabated wound healing response characterized by the loss and aberrant function of lung epithelial cells. Herein, we report that extracellular Clusterin promoted cell apoptosis whereas intracellular maintained epithelium viability during repair. Unlike normal COPD lungs, IPF lungs were significantly increased inverse was evident for Clusterin. In vitro in vivo studies demonstrated while intercellular modulated expression DNA repair proteins, MSH2, MSH6, OGG1 BRCA1. The...

3036 Background: Biomarkers may help to identify non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients (pts) more likely have improved outcomes anti-PD-L1 therapy. From 112 durvalumab (D)-treated pts, we previously reported that high pretreatment levels of PD-L1 protein and IFNγ mRNA expression in tumor biopsies were associated with higher objective response rates. We extend this analysis mature survival outcome data includes additional available pts; addition, examined changes gene from on-treatment...

The heterogeneous clinical phenotypes of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) challenge successful drug development. To identify COPD subgroups beyond phenotypes, we interrogated blood immune cell profiles and ex-vivo responses current former smokers, with or without COPD, in the longitudinal Genetic Epidemiology study (COPDGene) cohort. CD4+ CD8+ T cells monocytes were profiled by flow cytometry. Microarray analysis was performed on RNA from aforementioned isolated cells. T-cell...

We recently reported a positive correlation between high levels an IFNGS outcome cohort 30 pts treated with D. Here, we assessed potential predictive value additional 32 (total N = 62) further explored relationship and/or IC IHC patterns.

Abstract Durvalumab (D) is a human IgG1 monoclonal antibody which inhibits PDL1 binding to PD-1 and CD80, restoring antitumor immunity. In D-treated (tx) NSCLC patients (pts), we previously reported high baseline levels of tumoral PD-L1 protein IFNγ mRNA expression associated with improved ORRs, PFS OS. Here, gene signature tumors associates outcomes on D. CP1108/NCT01693562 was nonrandomized phase 1/2 trial evaluating D in advanced tx or other solid tumors. By 29APR2016, 304 pts received 10...
