Personalized neoantigen-targeting cancer vaccines in ovarian cancer: a phase 1 trial
Personalized neoantigen vaccines combined with PD-1 blockade were feasible in patients with high-grade serous ovarian cancer in a phase 1 trial. Many patients mounted tumor-specific immune responses. Cell-free DNA analysis identified putative resistance mechanisms related to antigen presentation. The trial establishes feasibility of this approach in ovarian cancer and points to antigen presentation as a resistance pathway.
