  • Publication number: 20240115675
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of treating a tumor with a nucleotide vaccine (e.g., DNA vaccine encoding a tumor antigen) in combination with an IL-7. In some aspects, the IL-7 is administered after the administration of the nucleotide vaccine (e.g., after the peak expansion phase of the tumor-specific T cell immune response) or concurrently with the nucleotide vaccine.

  • Publication number: 20230390370
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to compositions and methods for treating pancreatic cancer. A method of treating pancreatic cancer includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition including a neoantigen vaccine including at least one pancreatic cancer-associated neoantigen and at least one immune checkpoint inhibitor. The methods and compositions of the present disclosure are particularly useful for inducing a neoantigen-specific CD4 or CD8 T cell response against a tumor.
