Embodiment 1

[0251] Example 1: Optimized Consensus FSHR Immunogenic Compositions

[0252] DNA vaccines have potent antitumor activity in humans. Synthetic consensus DNA vaccines have been designed to break tolerance and redirect the immune system to the FSHR protein. Consensus-based DNA vaccines have shown promise in the clinic, achieving clearance of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The advantage of this approach over peptide vaccines is that it can elicit immune responses against multiple peptides derived from endogenous natural cleavage of proteins and can be presented in all different variants of MHC class I and II.

[0253] DNA cancer vaccines have proven successful against tumors with viral antigens, however, this success has not translated into effective responses against aggressive and common cancers such as ovarian cancer. One of the limitations is the lack of targetable antigens selectively expressed by tumor cells but not healthy tissues, which can lead to lethal adverse ...

Abstract

Provided herein is an immunogenic composition comprising a synthetic consensus antigen to Follicle Stimulating Hormone Receptor (FSHR) protein which is abundant in many ovarian cancer sub-types. Alsodisclosed herein is a method of treating a tumor associated pathology in a subject in need thereof, by administering the immunogenic composition to the subject.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application benefits from US Provisional Application No. 62 / 380,766, filed August 29, 2016, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to immunogenic compositions targeting follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR), and methods of administering said immunogenic compositions. Background technique [0004] Epithelial ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest malignancies, killing >14,000 women annually in the United States. Despite advances in surgical approaches and chemotherapy, five-year survival rates have changed little over the past 40 years. Ovarian cancer is an immunogenic tumor, and T cell infiltration is repeatedly associated with better prognosis (Zhang et al., N Engl J Med. 2003, 348:203-213). However, only about 50% of tumors present infiltrating T cells (Zhang et al., N Engl J Med. 2003, 348:203-213). Thus, immunotherapy aimed...
