Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A vaccine composed of a peptide derived from histone H3.3 containing the amino acid substitution mutation lysine (Lys) 27-to-methionine (H3.3K27M), with potential immunoactivating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration of the H3.3K27M-specific peptide vaccine, the immune system may exert a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated immune response against H3.3K27M-expressing tumor cells. The H3.3K27M mutation alters the methylation and acetylation profile of the histone H3 variant H3.3 at Lys 27. Modification of H3.3 at Lys 27 regulates gene expression, and the H3.3K27M mutation occurs in a variety of cancer cell types.

H3.3k27m-specific peptide vaccine has been investigated in 1 clinical trial, of which 1 is open and 0 are closed. Of the trial investigating h3.3k27m-specific peptide vaccine, 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (1 open).

H3F3A K28M and HLA-A*02:01 Positive are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for h3.3k27m-specific peptide vaccine clinical trials.

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, diffuse midline glioma, H3 K27M-mutant, and glioma are the most common diseases being investigated in h3.3k27m-specific peptide vaccine clinical trials [2].
