Benefits of technology

The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions for treating tumors that do not express molecular targets of immune checkpoint inhibitors and are resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors. The compositions include an antigen-loaded nanogel containing a hydrophobized polysaccharide-based nanogel as a delivery system and a synthetic long chain peptide antigen or a recombinant protein antigen and an immune-enhancing agent as a pretreatment drug. The use of these compositions can enhance the anti-cancer activity of antigen-specific T cell infusions and improve the immunotherapy of tumors.

Problems solved by technology

Development of effective treatments for cancer patients who are resistant to immune checkpoint inhibitors has become an important issue in cancer treatment.
However, these therapies may be less effective against tumors that do not express the molecular targets of immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Abstract

An antigen-loaded nanogel is formed by loading or encapsulating one or more long peptide antigens or one or more protein antigens in a hydrophobized polysaccharide. The long peptide antigen(s) or protein antigen(s) contains (or each contain) one or more CD8+ cytotoxic T cell recognition epitopes and / or one or more CD4+ helper T cell recognition epitopes, which is / are derived from the antigen. The antigen-loaded nanogel may be administered prior to administration of antigen-specific T cells to improve the efficacy of a T cell infusion therapy against an immune checkpoint inhibitor-resistant tumor. The hydrophobized polysaccharide may be pullulan having cholesteryl groups bound thereto. An immune-enhancing agent also may be administered in or with the antigen-loaded nanogel.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates to a pretreatment drug that enhances the efficacy of T cell infusion therapy against immune checkpoint inhibitor-resistant tumors.BACKGROUND ART[0002]T cells play important roles in tumor immune response. T cells recognize antigen protein-derived epitope peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) presented on the surface of antigen presenting cells (dendritic cells, macrophages, etc.) through T cell receptors (TCR) expressed on the surface of the T cells. The reaction is called antigen stimulation. Simultaneously with antigen stimulation, co-stimulatory signals are generated by binding between membrane protein CD28 on the T cells and membrane protein CD80 or CD86 on the antigen presenting cells. T cells are appropriately activated by TCR signals via antigen stimulation and by co-stimulatory signals.[0003]In opposition thereto, a regulatory mechanism called immune checkpoint is provided for preventing T cell activity from becom...
