Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A cancer cell vaccine consisting of autologous dendritic cells (DCs) loaded with mRNA encoding the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) matrix protein pp65 (65 kDa lower matrix phosphoprotein; UL83) as a fusion protein with the full-length lysosome-associated membrane protein (flLAMP), with potential immunostimulatory and antineoplastic activities. Upon vaccination, the autologous CMV-pp65-flLAMP mRNA loaded DC vaccine exposes the immune system to the CMV pp65 peptide, which may elicit a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) response against CMV pp65-expressing tumor cells. The incorporation of flLAMP may route CMV pp-65 antigens into the lysosomal compartment, resulting in enhanced MHC class II antigen presentation, thereby promoting CD4-positive T-cell responses. The CMV pp65 protein is the primary component of the enveloped subviral particle of CMV and is expressed in certain tumor types.

Autologous cmv-pp65-fllamp mrna loaded dendritic cell vaccine has been investigated in 3 clinical trials, of which 3 are open and 0 are closed. Of the trials investigating autologous cmv-pp65-fllamp mrna loaded dendritic cell vaccine, 1 is phase 1 (1 open) and 2 are phase 2 (2 open).

MGMT Promoter Methylation Negative is the most frequent biomarker inclusion criterion for autologous cmv-pp65-fllamp mrna loaded dendritic cell vaccine clinical trials.

Glioblastoma is the most common disease being investigated in autologous cmv-pp65-fllamp mrna loaded dendritic cell vaccine clinical trials [2].
