Background: Tumor-specific neoantigens provide personalized targets for immunotherapy. Vaccines against epitopes predicted by in silico approaches very rarely induce CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ex vivo T cell responses regardless of formulation. ATLAS selects neoantigens for vaccine inclusion using ex vivo screening of all patient-specific mutations to identify pre-existing CD4⁺ or CD8⁺ T cell responses and to exclude Inhibigens, which are inhibitory peptides that suppress immunity and accelerate tumor progression. The Inhibigen burden correlates with patient outcomes in observational studies and rapid tumor progression in mouse models. Methods: GEN-009-101 is a phase 1/2a study testing safety, immunogenicity and clinical activity in immune responsive tumors. After next-generation tumor sequencing and ATLAS testing of autologous leukocytes, up to 20 stimulatory synthetic long peptides adjuvanted with poly-ICLC comprise each personalized vaccine. Eight vaccinated patients have been followed for sustained immunological responses and clinical outcomes. Results: The 40 doses given across patients have induced only mild local discomfort and no DLT. Vaccination has generated immune responses against 99% of administered peptides, with both CD8⁺ and CD4⁺ responses in ex vivo fluorospot assays. To date, no patients have developed recurrent disease. Broad immunity develops as early as Day 29 and is sustained for over 12 months. Immune response against individual peptides is correlated with peptide concentration (OR = 1.26, p≤0.0001) but not with other classifiers such as GRAVY index (Grand Average of Hydropathy), tumor type, injection site or sex. The Inhibigen burden prior to treatment again correlates with disease progression. Conclusions: GEN-009 identifies tumor specific immune targets from the individual patient’s tumor mutagens. Initial clinical data show that ATLAS antigen selection may be critical to the induction of broad, rapid and sustained immunity against tumor specific neoantigens. Clinical vaccination with PD-1 blockade is in process. Clinical trial information: NCT03633110.
