    Abstract Genetically engineered, cytotoxic, adoptive T cells localize to antigen positive cancer cells inside patients, but tumor heterogeneity and multiple immune escape mechanisms have prevented the eradication of most solid tumor types. More effective, multifunctional engineered T cells are in development to overcome the barriers to the treatment of solid tumors, but the interactions of these highly modified cells with the host are poorly understood. We previously engineered prodrug-activating enzymatic functions into chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells, endowing them with an orthogonal killing mechanism to conventional T-cell cytotoxicity. These drug-delivering cells, termed Synthetic Enzyme-Armed KillER (SEAKER) cells, demonstrated efficacy in mouse lymphoma xenograft models. However, the interactions of an immunocompromised xenograft with such complex engineered T cells are distinct from those in an immunocompetent host, precluding an understanding of how these physiologic processes may affect the therapy. Here, we also expand the repertoire of SEAKER cells to target solid-tumor melanomas in syngeneic mouse models using specific targeting with TCR-engineered T cells. We demonstrate that SEAKER cells localize specifically to tumors, and activate bioactive prodrugs, despite host immune responses. We additionally show that TCR-engineered SEAKER cells are efficacious in immunocompetent hosts, demonstrating that the SEAKER platform is applicable to many adoptive cell therapies.

    Abstract Detecting mutations in the plasma of patients with solid tumors is becoming a valuable method of diagnosing and monitoring cancer. The TERT promoter is mutated at high frequencies in multiple cancer types, most commonly at positions -124 and -146 (designated C228T and C250T, respectively). Detection of these mutations has been challenging because of the high GC content of this region (approximately 80%). We describe development of novel probe-based droplet digital PCR assays that specifically detect and quantify these two mutations, along with the less common 242-243 CC>TT mutation, and demonstrate their application using human tumor and plasma samples from melanoma patients. Assay designs and running conditions were optimized using cancer cell line genomic DNAs with the C228T or C250T mutations. The limits of detection were 0.062% and 0.051% mutant allele fraction for the C228T and C250T assays, respectively. Concordance of 100% was observed between droplet digital PCR and sequencing-based orthogonal methods in the detection of TERT mutant DNA in 32 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded melanoma tumors. TERT

    Abstract Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells represent a major breakthrough in cancer therapy, wherein a patient's own T cells are engineered to recognize a tumor antigen, resulting in activation of a local cytotoxic immune response. However, CAR-T cell therapies are currently limited to the treatment of B cell cancers and their effectiveness is hindered by resistance from antigen-negative tumor cells, immunosuppression in the tumor microenvironment, eventual exhaustion of T cell immunologic functions and frequent severe toxicities. To overcome these problems, we have developed a novel class of CAR-T cells engineered to express an enzyme that activates a systemically administered small-molecule prodrug in situ at a tumor site. We show that these synthetic enzyme-armed killer (SEAKER) cells exhibit enhanced anticancer activity with small-molecule prodrugs, both in vitro and in vivo in mouse tumor models. This modular platform enables combined targeting of cellular and small-molecule therapies to treat cancers and potentially a variety of other diseases.

    Abstract Background: Melanoma lacks validated blood-based biomarkers for monitoring and predicting treatment efficacy. Cell-free circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) is a promising biomarker; however, various detection methods have been used, and, to date, no large studies have examined the association between serial changes in ctDNA and survival after BRAF, MEK, or BRAF plus MEK inhibitor therapy. We aimed to evaluate whether baseline ctDNA concentrations and kinetics could predict survival outcomes.
    Methods: In this clinical validation study, we used analytically validated droplet digital PCR assays to measure BRAF
    Findings: In COMBI-d, pretreatment plasma samples were available from 345 (82%) of 423 patients and on-treatment (week 4) plasma samples were available from 224 (53%) of 423 patients. In cohort A of COMBI-MB, pretreatment and on-treatment samples were available from 38 (50%) of 76 patients with intracranial and extracranial metastatic melanoma. ctDNA was detected in pretreatment samples from 320 (93%) of 345 patients (COMBI-d) and 34 (89%) of 38 patients (COMBI-MB). When assessed as a continuous variable, elevated baseline BRAF

    Abstract Mutational heterogeneity can contribute to therapeutic resistance in solid cancers. In melanoma, the frequencies of intertumoral and intratumoral heterogeneity are controversial. We examined mutational heterogeneity within individual patients with melanoma using multiplatform analysis of commonly mutated driver and nonpassenger genes. We analyzed paired primary and metastatic tumors from 60 patients and multiple metastatic tumors from 39 patients whose primary tumors were unavailable (n = 271 tumors). We used a combination of multiplex SNaPshot assays, Sanger sequencing, mutation-specific PCR, or droplet digital PCR to determine the presence of BRAF
