These findings agree with previous work showing that vaccination with vaccinia virus elevates intracellular LAG-3 expression in CD8 T cells . Furthermore, they highlight the need to address multiple compensatory immune responses for immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors, since full therapeutic benefit occurred only when poxvirus-based immunotherapy was combined with dual PD-1 and LAG-3 blockade. CD8 T cells that express LAG-3 can still produce effector cytokines, and cells that co-express mid-levels kryptovaluta of PD-1 and high levels of LAG-3 are more functional and produce more IFNγ, TNFα, and CD107 than cells that are PD-1hi or cells that co-express PD-1low and LAG-3 . However, though functional, the proliferative capacity of LAG-3+ T cells may be limited, as LAG-3 negatively regulates cell cycle progression of CD8 T cells . Thus, one role of LAG-3 blockade may be to increase proliferation of the antigen-specific CD8 TILs, while PD-1 blockade prevents T cell death or anergy through tumor cell PD-L1 ligation.

Master cell banks and working cell banks were generated and each bank tested positive for HER-2 or MUC-1 by flow cytometry, respectively . MVA-BN-HER2 is a Modified Vaccinia Ankara-based recombinant vector that encodes a modified form of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2), referred to as HER2 . The modified HER2 comprises the extracellular domains of HER-2 and contains two additional T helper epitopes to enhance immunogenicity .

The mOS (31.6 months) from the combined cohorts of PROSTVAC plus any dose of Ipilimumab was notably longer than the mOS of mCRPC patients from the randomized Phase 2 study of PROSTVAC (25.1 months) . Furthermore, approximately 20% of patients at the highest dose tested (10 mg/kg) remain alive at 80 months . This was especially apparent when the therapies were combined due to increased infiltration of CD8 T cells into the tumor.

T cell mediated immune suppression may stem from combined impact of multiple immune checkpoints. Combining PD-1/PD-L1 blockade with LAG-3 inhibition has shown efficacy in preclinical models of infectious disease and cancer . The CD4-related transmembrane protein LAG-3 is an immune checkpoint molecule expressed on activated T cells, NK cells, B cells, and plasmacytoid dendritic cells [19–22]. Structurally, LAG-3 is highly homologous to the CD4 T cell co-receptor and binds MHC II . However, its structural interactions with MHC II are different from and are more limited than those of CD4 .

Indeed, strong therapeutic synergy was still seen at doses where PD-1 blockade alone showed no effect on tumor growth. This suggests, that at low doses PD-1 blockade is acting to further enhance a functional immune response driven by the poxvirus-based immunotherapy. In contrast, PD-1 blockade alone had little therapeutic benefit with decreasing doses. This could be due to the lack of an endogenous immune response as demonstrated by overall lower numbers of CD8 T cell in the tumor. In mice treated with any combination of immune checkpoint inhibitors (anti-PD-1, anti-LAG-3, or anti-PD-1 and anti-LAG-3) but not MVA-BN-HER2, 64% (9/14) grew palpable tumors and 79% (11/14) rejected the re-challenge.

A triple therapy consisting of MVA-BN-HER2 poxvirus therapy, plus anti-PD-1 and anti-LAG-3 dual checkpoint inhibition was explored for optimizing therapeutic efficacy and to assess the durability of responses in mouse models. Beyond the PD-1/PD-L1 axis of immune suppression pathways, LAG-3 expression has also been shown to impact T cell mediated anti-tumor immune responses. Analysis of intratumoral LAG-3 expression by immunofluorescent microscopy demonstrated that LAG-3 expression co-localized with both CD8+ CD4+ T cells . Furthermore, the LAG-3 expression profile and the degree of T cell infiltration in tumors was influenced by the treatment regimen . LAG-3 expression was slightly but significantly increased by MVA-BN-HER2 immunotherapy as compared to control treated tumors. Importantly, the infiltrating CD8 T cells were detected throughout the tumor with MVA-BN-HER2 treatment .
