Abstract
BACKGROUND: There is a continued need to develop more effective cancer immunotherapy strategies. Exosomes, cell-derived lipid vesicles that express high levels of a narrow spectrum of cell proteins represent a novel platform for delivering high levels of antigen in conjunction with costimulatory molecules. We performed this study to test the safety, feasibility and efficacy of autologous dendritic cell (DC)-derived exosomes (DEX) loaded with the MAGE tumor antigens in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Entities:

Dose Groups and Product Formulations
| Dose Cohorts | Number of patients in Cohort (Patient number) | Peptides loaded/HLA class | Peptide loading method and concentration | DEX dose (expressed as numbers of MHC class II molecules) |
| A | 3 (DU 5, 6, 8) | MAGE-A3 (112–120)/class I | Indirect (10 μg/mL) | 0.13 × 10 14 |
| B | 5 (DU 24, 39, 44, 50, 63) | MAGE-A3 (112–120)/class I | Direct (10 μg/mL) | 0.13 × 10 14 |
| C | 4 (DU 49, 73, 81, 83) | MAGE-A3 (112–120)/class I | Direct (100 μg/mL) | 0.13 × 10 14 |
The amino acid sequences of the peptides used for loading the dexosomes are: MAGE-A3(112–120) = KVAELVHFL; MAGE-A4(230–239) = GVYDGREHTV; MAGE-A10(254–262) = GLYDGMEHL; MAGE-A3(247–258) = TQHFVQENYLEY; CMV pp6 = NLVPMVATV; tetanus toxoid = QYIKANSKFIGITE
Note: DU39, DU44, and DU83 were not treated.
Figure 1Cytolytic activity of NK cells. Cytolytic activity of NK cells isolated from the PBMC of 4 patients (DU05, DU08, DU24, DU50) pre (squares) and post (circles) immunization and cultured with (dark shapes) or without (open shapes) IL-2 was determined. The percentage lysis of the NK target (K562) cells is reported at effector to target ratios of 0.2:1 to 25:1.
