The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the tumor neoantigen vaccine (SarcVac) in combination with a PD-1 antibody, with or without tumor-specific lymphocytes, in patients with advanced bone and soft tissue sarcoma who have failed first-line treatment. The secondary objectives are to assess the preliminary efficacy of SarcVac combined with a PD-1 antibody, with or without tumor-specific lymphocytes, in these patients and to evaluate whether the vaccine's efficacy demonstrates dose dependency.
Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) represents a heterogeneous group of malignant tumors. The prognosis is poor with an overall survival of 12-19 months for patients with metastasis. A critical unmet medical need is to develop novel and effective therapeutic approaches to improve the survival of patients with STS, for whom limited alternative chemotherapeutic or targeting regimens are available. In recent years, tumor immunotherapy has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. This approach includes four primary categories: immune checkpoint blockade, immunomodulators, adoptive cell transfer, and tumor vaccines. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as PD-1/PD-L1 and CTLA-4 antibodies, have shown efficacy in treating certain cancers. Tumor vaccines, which utilize tumor antigens to stimulate specific immune responses against cancer cells, offer notable advantages. These vaccines are characterized by low toxicity, high specificity, and the ability to induce immune memory, thereby reducing the risk of recurrence. Tumor-specific lymphocytes further enhance the immune system's capacity to target and kill tumor cells directly. This study utilizes next-generation sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis to accurately identify personalized tumor neoantigens. By screening for neoantigens with high MHC affinity and strong immunogenicity, we develop a personalized neoantigen vaccine, SarcVac. Subsequently, these neoantigens are used in vitro to activate and expand the patient's peripheral blood lymphocytes, yielding tumor-specific lymphocytes. This clinical trial will assess the safety and tolerability of the neoantigen vaccine (SarcVac) in combination with a PD-1 antibody, with or without tumor-specific lymphocytes, in patients with advanced solid tumors. Additionally, a preliminary assessment of its efficacy will be conducted.
