Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most lethal central nervous systems (CNS) tumours in adults. As supplements to standard of care (SOC), various immunotherapies improve the therapeutic effect in other cancers. Among them, tumour vaccines can serve as complementary monotherapy or boost the clinical efficacy with other immunotherapies, such as immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) therapy. Previous studies in GBM therapeutic vaccines have suggested that few neoantigens could be targeted in GBM due to low mutation burden, and single-peptide therapeutic vaccination had limited efficacy in tumour control as monotherapy. Combining diverse antigens, including neoantigens, tumour-associated antigens (TAAs), and pathogen-derived antigens, and optimizing vaccine design or vaccination strategy may help with clinical efficacy improvement. In this review, we discussed current GBM therapeutic vaccine platforms, evaluated and potential antigenic targets, current challenges, and perspective opportunities for efficacy improvement.
胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)是成人中枢神经系统(CNS)最致命的肿瘤之一。作为标准治疗(SOC)的补充,各种免疫疗法提高了其他癌症的治疗效果。其中,肿瘤疫苗可以作为辅助单药治疗,或与其他免疫疗法(如免疫检查点阻断(ICB)和嵌合抗原受体 T 细胞(CAR-T)疗法)联合提高临床疗效。GBM 治疗性疫苗的先前研究表明,由于突变负担低,GBM 中可靶向的新抗原很少,而单一肽治疗性疫苗作为单药治疗在肿瘤控制方面的疗效有限。结合多种抗原,包括新抗原、肿瘤相关抗原(TAA)和病原体衍生抗原,并优化疫苗设计或接种策略,可能有助于提高临床疗效。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了当前 GBM 治疗性疫苗平台、评估和潜在的抗原靶点、当前的挑战以及提高疗效的潜在机会。
