NK Cell immunotherapy for high‐risk neuroblastoma relapse after haploidentical HSCT

Abstract: Little is known on strategies to prevent or to treat relapses occurring after haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) performed for the high-risk neuroblastoma (NB). We describe a 6-year-old male with refractory NB who relapsed 22 months after haplo-HSCT. A complete remission was obtained with a combination of immuno-chemotherapy based on donor NK cells transplants, IL2 infusions and temozolomide/topotecan. This case is an incentive to explore both the immediate therapeutic effect of haplo-graft … Show more

“…Despite this advance and those in intensive chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, the survival of patients remains unsatisfactory (9,10). Recently, following the success of NK cell therapy in hematologic malignancies (14,30,31), investigators have begun studying similar therapy in neuroblastoma (23,32,33). We and others have shown that several novel NK cell activation methods using various cytokine combinations such as IL-12 and -18 or using genetic modification may improve the efficacy of NK cells in preclinical models (34)(35)(36)(37).…”

“…17 Further analysis revealed that all patients who demonstrated response were mismatched for natural killer (NK) cell KIR/KIR-ligand genotypes, there being no responses amongst KIR-matched patients. 106 A particularly promising approach is the development of genetically engineered autologous T cells, which allows a patient's own cytotoxic T cells to be redirected against tumor-associated antigens (such as GD2) by stably transfecting the cells with a chimeric antigen receptor. 100,101 Thus, in the future, it may be possible to predict those patients likely to benefit most on the basis of their pattern of disease and immunogenotype.…”

“…Further analyses have revealed that mismatches for natural killer (NK) cell KIR/KIRligand genotypes and polymorphisms in the Fcγ receptor have also been associated with better responses to anti-GD2 immunotherapy [142,143]. With the significant side effects and known limitations of anti-GD2 antibody immunotherapy, many other immunologic approaches have been evaluated recently, including therapy with immunomodulatory CTLA4 checkpoint inhibitors [144], antitumor vaccines [145,146], and cell-based immunotherapy using either NK cells [147] or anti-GD2 targeted autologous T cells [148], which have been shown to have antitumor activity, including activity in cases with measurable disease [149,150]. Next-generation chimeric antigen receptor T cells, in which the constructs will include costimulatory domains to activate the T cell, are currently being developed [151].…”
