- W3101932884 abstract "Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has shown remarkable resistance to immunotherapy including immune checkpoint blockade, vaccines, and other immunomodulatory agents. In cancer, immunosurveillance can be regulated at both the priming and effector phases of an immune response. Based on this reasoning, we investigated a role for the CD40 pathway in mice and humans as a strategy to prime for tumor-reactive T cells. Our studies showed that systemic CD40 activation triggers productive innate immunosurveillance that sensitizes PDAC tumors to chemotherapy but is insufficient to provoke T cell dependent anti-tumor immunity. However, CD40 activation can restore the functional capacity of peritumoral T cells. Consistent with this, PDAC development associates with progressive loss in T cell priming capacity along with a deficiency in circulating dendritic cells. This biology observed in mouse models is mirrored in humans where patients with PDAC show a decrease in circulating dendritic cells and an increase in T cell dysfunction. To overcome these defects in T cell priming and deficiencies in immune health, we studied adoptive transfer of tumor-reactive chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified autologous T cells in patients. Our findings show that the persistence of adoptively transferred T cells is markedly impaired in patients with PDAC compared to hematologic malignancies. In addition, CAR-T cells show limited anti-tumor activity in PDAC. This lack of efficacy has prompted our investigation into the biology of the tumor microenvironment which displays remarkable spatial heterogeneity in immune cell infiltrates. In our studies, we have identified phenotypically distinct cellular communities marked by weak (“cold”) and strong (“hot”) infiltration of T cells. We find that these distinct regions of PDAC tumors are orchestrated by unique immunoregulatory mechanisms with therapeutic implications. Overall, our findings demonstrate that immunological barriers residing both within and outside the tumor microenvironment have the potential to impair the efficacy of immunotherapy in PDAC. In addition, our data suggest that the immunogenicity of PDAC varies spatially throughout tumors raising the likelihood that multiple, distinct mechanisms of immune evasion will need to be circumvented for immunotherapy to produce benefit for most patients.
