<abstract>
<p>The PRAME tumor antigen is a potential target for immunotherapy. We assessed the immunogenicity, the antitumor activity, and the safety and the tolerability of a recombinant PRAME protein (recPRAME) combined with the AS15 immunostimulant (recPRAME+AS15) in preclinical studies in mice and Cynomolgus monkeys. Four groups of 12 CB6F1 mice received 4 injections of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), recPRAME, AS15, or recPRAME+AS15. Immunized mice were injected with tumor cells expressing PRAME (CT26-PRAME) 2 weeks or 2 months after the last injection. The mean tumor surface was measured twice a week. Two groups of 10 monkeys received 7 injections of saline or recPRAME+AS15. T-cell responses were measured by flow cytometry using intracellular cytokine staining (ICS). In CB6F1 mice, repeated injections of recPRAME+AS15 induced high PRAME-specific antibody titers and mostly CD4
<sup>+</sup>
T cells producing cytokines. This immune response was long-lasting in these animals and was associated with protection against a challenge with PRAME-expressing tumor cells (CT26-PRAME) applied either 2 weeks or 2 months after the last injection; these data indicate the induction of an immune memory. In HLA-A02.01/HLA-DR1 transgenic mice, recPRAME+AS15 induced both CD4
<sup>+</sup>
and CD8
<sup>+</sup>
T-cell responses, indicating that this antigen can be processed by the human leukocyte antigen and is potentially immunogenic in humans. In addition, a repeated-dose toxicity study in monkeys showed that 7 biweekly injections of recPRAME+AS15 were well tolerated, and induced PRAME-specific antibodies and T cells. In conclusion, these preclinical data indicate that repeated injections of the PRAME cancer immunotherapeutic are immunogenic and have an acceptable safety profile.</p>

<p>Although conventional approaches in the therapy of cancer may improve the survival of patients, they are often associated with severe side effects and rarely lead to tumor remission. Moreover, a substantial proportion of cancer patients do not respond to standard anticancer therapies or relapse after treatment.
<xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
In addition, certain tumor types such as melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors are poorly responsive to standard anticancer therapies.
<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
Thus, there is a need for alternative, well tolerated and more specific anticancer therapies.</p>
<p>Recent advances in molecular biology and immunology, a greater understanding of the cellular events and pathways driving carcinogenesis, and the discovery of tumor antigens capable of eliciting tumor-specific immune responses have led to the development of various cancer immunotherapeutic approaches including therapeutic anticancer vaccination.

<p>In contrast to chemotherapy, cancer immunotherapy acts on the patient’s immune system, modulating it to recognize and eradicate the tumor.
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>

<xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
Antigen-specific cancer immunotherapy aims to harness the natural ability of the immune system to activate tumor-specific T cells against tumor antigens.
<xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
<xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
</p>
<p>Antigen-specific cancer immunotherapies have several potential advantages over conventional chemotherapy, as they target tumor cells specifically, decreasing the risk of damage to normal, healthy tissues, and potentially induce specific, durable, and recall antitumor responses. In addition, the highly specific characteristic of the host immune response minimizes the risk of clinically significant adverse events associated with most chemotherapies used today.

<xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
<xref rid="R15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
However, a limitation of such an approach is the weakness of the immune responses raised by tumor antigens, especially when they are delivered as purified recombinant proteins. To increase the magnitude of the response elicited by protein-based immunotherapies, tumor antigens can be combined with immunostimulants.

<p>The human tumor antigen PRAME (PReferentially expressed Antigen of MElanoma) was originally identified as an antigen recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes from a patient with melanoma.

<xref rid="R21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
The PRAME antigen is a potential target for immunotherapy as it is expressed in various tumor types including melanoma, non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), head and neck carcinomas, breast cancer, and some types of leukemia.

It is also expressed in the normal adult testis, and at very low levels in some other normal tissues, such as the ovaries, the kidneys, the endometrium, and the adrenal medulla.

The induction of PRAME-specific T-cell immune responses has been reported ex vivo in studies of melanoma and leukemia in humans.
<xref rid="R32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
<xref rid="R34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
In addition, PRAME-specific T cells were highly reactive against different PRAME tumor cell lines or freshly isolated metastatic melanoma and primary leukemic cells, but not against nonmalignant cells.
<xref rid="R35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
Thus, PRAME-targeted immunotherapy, able to induce strong T-cell responses against tumors, could potentially provide significant benefit to a large number of cancer patients.</p>
<p>Our immunotherapeutic approach is based on the use of a PRAME recombinant protein (recPRAME) combined with the GSK (Rixensart, Belgium) proprietary immunostimulant AS15, to form the PRAME cancer immunotherapeutic (recPRAME+AS15). The PRAME cancer immunotherapeutic is currently in phase I or phase I/II clinical development for the treatment of NSCLC (NCT01159964) and melanoma (NCT01149343), respectively. Given that PRAME expression is not purely restricted to tumor cells, the safety of the potential PRAME-targeted immunotherapy needs to be assessed carefully. Therefore, to support the clinical development of the PRAME cancer immunotherapeutic, we performed nonclinical studies evaluating the immunogenicity and the antitumor activity of recPRAME+AS15 against a PRAME-expressing mouse tumor model. In addition, the safety and the tolerability of recPRAME+AS15 were assessed in Cynomolgus monkeys.</p>

<title>Experimental Animal Models, Housing, and Husbandry</title>
<p>Mice studies were ethically reviewed and approved by the GSK Belgian ethical Committee for Animal Experimentation. They were carried out in accordance with the European Directive 2010/63/EU
<xref rid="R36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
and the GSK Policy on the Care, Welfare, and Treatment of Animals. GSK facilities are AAALAC (Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care) accredited. All efforts were made to minimize suffering: tumors exceeding a maximum allowable size of 17 mm×17 mm, ulceration, tumor necrosis, convulsion, morbidity, and circling behavior were conditions requiring euthanasia by intraperitoneal injection with a barbituric acid derivative (overdose).</p>
<p>The study in monkeys was conducted in an AAALAC-accredited European Contract Research Organization in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), in particular the OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice,
<xref rid="R37" ref-type="bibr">37</xref>
the Directive 2004/10/EC,

and the European Directive 2010/63/EU,
<xref rid="R36" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>
was also ensured. Serology experiments and the evaluation of T-cell responses in the monkey study were carried out as a post hoc analysis in the GSK facilities.</p>
<p>Female CB6F1 mice (hybrid of C57BL/6 and Balb/C mice), 6–8 weeks old at the study start, with a 20 g approximate weight were kept under specific pathogen-free conditions.</p>
<p>Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A02.01/HLA-DR1 transgenic mice for human class I and II HLA were generated by the Pasteur Institute (Paris, France) and were 5 months old at the study start.</p>
<p>The Cynomolgus monkey (
<italic>Macaca fascicularis</italic>
) was chosen because of a similar expression pattern of a highly homologous (>94%) PRAME gene (Available at:
<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://www.ensembl.org/index.html">http://www.ensembl.org/index.html</ext-link>
). Moreover, toxicity studies with other adjuvanted vaccines were also conducted in this species, allowing for data comparability. At the study start, monkeys were 25–33 months old, with a mean body weight of 3.3 kg (range: 2.5–4.2 kg) for males and 2.8 kg (range: 2.5–3.0 kg) for females. Each animal was given a complete clinical examination. Monkeys were acclimated to the study conditions for a period of 20 days before the beginning of the treatment period.

<title>Antigen Description, Production, and Purification</title>
<p>The recPRAME antigen is a 626-aa recombinant fusion protein produced in
<italic>Escherichia coli</italic>
comprising an N-terminal tripeptide (aa 1–3), containing the translator initiator methionine and 2 unrelated aa (aspartic acid and proline), aa residues 20–127 of
<italic>Haemophilus influenzae</italic>
protein D (PD) (aa 4–111), the full-length 509-aa-long PRAME sequence (aa 112–620), and a hexahistidine tag (His) (aa 621–626) enabling protein purification.</p>
<p>The manufacturing process of recPRAME purified bulk consisted of the following key steps: (i) antibiotic-free fermentation of the recombinant
<italic>E. coli</italic>
cell culture; (ii) disruption of
<italic>E. coli</italic>
cells and extraction of inclusion bodies (IB) containing the recPRAME protein; and (iii) purification of recPRAME from the IB pellet. The purification process involved the following steps: (i) extraction of the PD1/3-PRAME-His protein from the IB pellet using the centrifuge system; (ii) carbamidomethylation treatment with iodoacetamide to avoid the formation of disulfide bridges between the cysteine residues; (iii) an immobilized metal ion (Ni
<sup>2+</sup>
) affinity chromatography (Ni
<sup>2+</sup>
-IMAC) procedure (the interaction between the antigen’s His-tag and immobilized Ni
<sup>2+</sup>
from the resin is responsible for the reversible capture of the antigen on the resin); (iv) hydroxyapatite chromatography of the IMAC eluate to remove
<italic>E. coli</italic>
-derived impurities including DNA and endotoxins; (v) ultrafiltration for buffer exchange; and, lastly, (vi) filtration through a 0.45-mm or a 0.22-mm cellulose acetate membrane.</p>

<title>The Study Design, Treatment, and Administration</title>
<p>Studies in mice were conducted at GSK (Rixensart, Belgium) between 2008 and 2011. CB6F1 mice were allocated randomly into 4 groups of 12 mice to receive 4 intramuscular (IM) injections of PBS, recPRAME alone, AS15 alone, or recPRAME+AS15 on days 0, 14, 28, and 42. Immune responses were assessed 2 months after the last injection. Eight immunized mice in each group were injected with 10e
<sup>5</sup>
of CT26-PRAME cells 2 weeks (day 56) or 2 months (day 98) after the last injection. Three extra groups of 12 mice were included and were immunized 4 times 2 weeks apart with recPRAME alone, AS15 alone, and recPRAME+AS15, followed by immune response assessment 2 weeks after the last injection.</p>
<p>Another 4 groups of 10 CB6F1 mice were enrolled for tumor specificity experiments. Two groups of mice were immunized with PBS, and 2 with recPRAME+AS15, on days 0 and 14, and then were challenged with either 10e
<sup>5</sup>
of CT26-PRAME cells or 10e
<sup>5</sup>
of CT26-MAGE-A3 cells 2 weeks after the last immunization.</p>
<p>HLA-A02.01/HLA-DR1 transgenic mice were allocated to 2 groups of 5 mice to receive 4 injections of PBS or recPRAME+AS15 on days 0, 14, 28, and 42, and their immune responses were assessed 2 weeks after the last injection.</p>
<p>The repeated-dose toxicity study in monkeys was conducted at the CiToxLAB (Evreux, France) between 2008 and 2009. The study design and the injection schedule were described previously.
<xref rid="R46" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>
In brief, 20 monkeys (10 male and 10 female) were allocated into 2 groups (by sex) using a manual randomization procedure to receive 7 IM injections (500 μL/injection) of saline (control group) or the full human dose of recPRAME+AS15 (treatment group) on days 1, 15, 29, 43, 57, 71, and 85. At the end of the treatment period (3 d after the last injection), the first 3 animals from each group were killed, whereas the last 2 surviving animals from each group were held for a 28-day treatment-free period before being killed.</p>
<p>In all studies, the IM route was selected to mimic the intended route of administration in human therapeutic use.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>The Assessment of Immune Responses</title>
<p>Blood samples for the assessment of the immune responses were taken from CB6F1 mice on days 56 and 98 and from HLA-A02.01/HLA-DR1 mice on day 56. Blood samples from monkeys were taken at a pretreatment time point, and on days 57, 88, and 113.</p>
<sec>
<title>Antibody Responses</title>
<p>In CB6F1 mice, PRAME-specific antibody levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay 2 weeks (day 56) or 2 months (day 98) after the fourth injection. Before the addition of sera, the immunoplate was coated with the PRAME antigen overnight at 4°C. After reaction with the sera for 90 minutes at 37°C, a biotinylated sheep whole antibody against mouse immunoglobulins was added for 90 minutes at 37°C. The antigen-antibody complex was revealed by incubation with a streptavidin-biotinylated peroxidase complex for 30 minutes at 37°C. This complex was then revealed by the addition of tetramethyl benzidine for 10 minutes at room temperature; the reaction was stopped with 0.2 M H

<title>T-cell Responses</title>
<p>In mice, the frequency of PRAME-specific T cells producing cytokines (at least IFN-γ: IFN-γ single-positive cells or IFN-γ/TNF-α double-positive cells) were detected using ICS and flow cytometry [LSR-II flow cytometer, Becton Dickinson (BD) Biosciences] on individual spleen cells (CB6F1 mice; n=4) or on peripheral blood lymphocytes (1 pool/group of HLA-A02.01/HLA-DR1 transgenic mice). Cells (10

Cells were then incubated overnight with Brefeldin A (BD Biosciences).</p>
<p>For cell staining, cell suspensions were washed, and resuspended in 50 μL PBS/1% FCS containing 2% Fc blocking reagent (1/50; 2.4G2). After 10 minutes’ incubation at 4°C, 50 μL of a mixture of anti-CD4-phycoerythrin (1:200 final dilution; BD biosciences) and anti-CD8-peridine chlorophyll-protein complex (1:200 final dilution; BD Biosciences) were added and incubated for 30 minutes at 4°C. After washing in PBS/1% FCS, cells were permeabilized in 200 μL Cytofix-Cytoperm (BD Biosciences) and incubated for 20 minutes at 4°C. Cells were then washed with 1× Perm/Wash solution (BD Biosciences) and resuspended in 50 μL fluorescent rat anti-mouse monoclonal antibodies against IFN-γ (IFNγ-APC) and TNF-fluorescein isothiocyanate (1:50; BD Biosciences) in the Perm/Wash solution. After 2 hours’ incubation at 4°C, cells were washed with Perm/Wash solution, and then with PBS, and resuspended in FACS buffer before FACS analysis. Live cells were gated (FSC/side-scattered light) and acquisition was performed on ∼15,000 CD4

T cells and ∼5000 CD8
<sup>+</sup>
T cells were acquired. The analyses were performed using the Cellquest or the Diva software (BD Biosciences). The percentage of cells producing at least IFN-γ (single IFN-γ or double IFN-γ/TNF-α-positive cells) in response to antigen stimulation were calculated for the CD4

<title>The Assessment of Antitumor Responses</title>
<p>After the immunization of CB6F1 mice and challenge with CT26-PRAME tumor cells, individual tumor growth was recorded twice a week by measuring the product of the 2 main diameters of the tumor during the monitoring phase, starting 7 days after the day of challenge. If a mouse was killed during the study because the tumor size reached the maximum acceptable limit of 289 mm
<sup>2</sup>
, the value of the last measurement obtained before sacrifice was carried forward to the next time points. The specificity of tumor protection induced by recPRAME+AS15 was assessed twice a week by measuring the tumor surface in CB6F1 mice immunized on days 0 and 14, and challenged with either CT26-PRAME or CT26 cells genetically engineered to express another tumor antigen, MAGE-A3 (CT26-MAGE-A3) on day 28. Although the tumor protection effects are generally more pronounced after 4 compared with 2 immunizations, as certain protection can already be observed after 2 immunizations, for the specificity of tumor response experiments, mice received only 2 immunizations to gain some time and observe the results faster.</p>

<title>Assessment of the Safety and the Tolerability (Study in Monkeys)</title>
<p>During the study period, each monkey was checked for mortality or signs of morbidity, clinical signs, skin or ophthalmologic reactions, body weight, and food consumption. Rectal temperatures of each animal were recorded and electrocardiography examinations were performed on all animals. Blood samples for the assessment of hematology/biochemistry parameters were taken before the beginning of the treatment period, and on days 2, 4, 15 (before dosing), 84, 86, 88, and 113. A complete microscopic and macroscopic postmortem examination was performed on all monkeys. All assessments were performed as described previously.

<title>Antitumor Responses and Long-term Protection</title>
<p>To assess the capacity of recPRAME+AS15 to induce an immune memory, tumor-free mice immunized with recPRAME+AS15 were challenged with PRAME-expressing tumor cells (CT26-PRAME cells), either 2 weeks (Fig.
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>
A) or 2 months (Fig.
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>
B) after the last injection. At both time points of assessment, most mice were protected and remained tumor free (Figs.
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>
A, B). In contrast, mice immunized with PBS, recPRAME alone, or AS15 alone, and subjected to a similar tumor challenge, had significantly higher mean tumor sizes compared with mice injected with recPRAME+AS15 at 2 weeks after the challenge, with no tumor-free mice detected in these groups (Fig.
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>
A). At 2 months after the tumor challenge with CT26-PRAME cells, all mice that received recPRAME+AS15 were tumor free, whereas only 3/8 mice were tumor free after the repeated injections of recPRAME alone, and none were tumor free after injections of PBS or AS15 (Fig.

In brief, injections of recPRAME+AS15 were well tolerated and did not induce any local or systemic toxicity. High PRAME-specific antibody responses were induced in all monkeys immunized with recPRAME+AS15. Repeated injections of recPRAME+AS15 also induced PRAME-specific CD4

<title>DISCUSSION</title>
<p>To support the clinical development of the PRAME cancer immunotherapeutic, we evaluated the immunogenicity of recPRAME+AS15 injections in CB6F1, HLA-A2 HLA-DR1 transgenic mice, and in nonhuman primates (Cynomolgus monkeys). The capacity of repeated injections of recPRAME+AS15 to induce antitumor activity was also evaluated in CB6F1 mice.</p>
<p>The evaluation of the immune responses in CB6F1 mice revealed that injections of recPRAME+AS15 triggered both humoral and cellular PRAME-specific immune responses, with significantly higher antibody titers and percentages of T cells producing cytokines (mostly CD4
<sup>+</sup>
) compared with mice injected with PBS, recPRAME alone, or the AS15 immunostimulant alone. These results suggest that the combination of recPRAME with a strong immunostimulant is necessary to induce such comprehensive immune responses. This is consistent with findings from several clinical and nonclinical studies showing that a combination of tumor antigens delivered as peptides or proteins in formulations comprising 1 or more immunostimulants among MPL, QS-21, and CpG enhances humoral and cellular immune responses.
<xref rid="R49" ref-type="bibr">49</xref>
<xref rid="R59" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>
</p>
<p>Our data also show that this immune response is persistent. The level of PRAME-specific antibodies and T cells induced by recPRAME+AS15 measured 2 months after the last immunization was still relatively high. In contrast to the antibody levels, the T-cell response was slightly lower than 2 weeks after the last immunization, suggesting that the immune response might decrease with time and that booster injections may be needed.</p>
<p>However, CD8
<sup>+</sup>
T-cell responses were weak or time inconsistent, probably due to the genetic background of the mice used in these experiments. This is likely because CD8
<sup>+</sup>
T-cell responses can be detected in some CD1 or OF1 outbred mice injected with recPRAME+AS15 (data not shown). Furthermore, on the basis of the results obtained using adoptive T-cell transfer, it is apparent that CD8
<sup>+</sup>
T cells are important to eradicate an existing tumor; however, other effector cells, such as NK cells or CD4
<sup>+</sup>
T cells, may also play a role. In the current manuscript, we clearly showed that the CD4
<sup>+</sup>
T cells are required for tumor protection.</p>
<p>A similar experiment was conducted in H2-knockout mice transgenic for human HLAs (HLA-A02.01/HLA-DR1 transgenic mice).
<xref rid="R60" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>
These mice express human HLA Class I (HLA-A02.01) and Class II (HLA-DR1) molecules, the most common HLA alleles in the white population
<xref rid="R61" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>
and represent a unique in vivo experimental model to study the human immune response without any interference with the mouse MHC response. Although the variability of response is generally higher in transgenic mice compared with regular inbred mice, recPRAME+AS15 induced PRAME-specific CD4
<sup>+</sup>
and CD8
<sup>+</sup>
T cell responses, suggesting that it can potentially induce cellular immune responses in individuals expressing HLA-A02.01 and HLA-DR1.</p>
<p>Because nonhuman primates are considered to be closer to humans than mice in terms of homology to the antigen targeted, it was interesting to characterize the humoral and the cellular immune responses induced by recPRAME+AS15 in these animals. PRAME-specific antibody and T-cell responses were induced in monkeys immunized with recPRAME+AS15. The kinetics of the antibody response in monkeys injected with recPRAME+AS15 revealed that the PRAME-specific antibody levels increased substantially after the fourth injection. The antibody levels did not increase further with any additional immunization, but remained high 3 and 28 days after the seventh injection, indicating that there is no exhaustion of the immune response in these animals after multiple injections.

Although CD8

responses were detected in HLA-A02.01/HLA-DR1 transgenic mice, only CD4

<sup>+</sup>
T cells were measurable in an ex vivo assay in monkeys after a short in vitro stimulation with a pool of overlapping 15-mer peptides covering the whole PRAME sequence. No CD8
<sup>+</sup>
T-cell responses could be detected under the conditions used. Altogether, immunogenicity results of the studies presented in this article suggest that a vaccine combining a recombinant protein with AS15 is not capable of inducing CD8
<sup>+</sup>
T-cell responses. This is further supported by low or undetectable CD8
<sup>+</sup>
responses observed in phase II clinical trials that tested recMAGE-A3+AS15 in patients with NSCLC or melanoma.

<p>After surgery, cancer patients often experience recurrences and development of distant metastases. The capacity to induce a long-term immune memory is a crucial feature of an effective cancer immunotherapy. The immune response induced by 4 injections of recPRAME+AS15 provided a PRAME-specific long-term immune memory able to protect mice against a challenge with PRAME-expressing tumor cells up to 2 months after the last immunization. In mice immunized with recPRAME+AS15, the mean tumor growth remained significantly lower compared with mice injected with PBS, recPRAME alone, or AS15 alone, or was not detectable. These data indicate that both recPRAME and AS15 are required to prevent tumor growth, and that this protection is specific for the PRAME antigen that should be expressed by the tumor. Indeed, after a challenge with a similar tumor expressing another antigen (MAGE-A3), the tumor was not recognized in mice immunized with recPRAME+AS15 and increased in size. In our experiments, we chose a tumor challenge approach, in which tumor-free mice were immunized with recPRAME+AS15 and then challenged with PRAME-expressing tumor cells, as such an approach simulates the adjuvant setting in clinical trials more accurately than would a therapeutic setting approach (ie, first injecting a tumor and then immunizing with recPRAME+AS15). However, unlike mice, patients who underwent surgery and are considered disease free at the time they receive immunotherapy have already been exposed to the tumor. This preexposure is likely to prime the immune system against the targeted antigen or initiate certain immune-suppressive mechanisms. This could possibly impair the efficacy of future immunotherapeutic treatment, although it was not taken into account in the mice experiments. Nevertheless, long-term immunity against the tumor was obtained, which is of particular importance in the context of treating potentially disease-free cancer patients or patients with minimal residual disease undergoing adjuvant treatment and who remain at a high risk of relapse.</p>
<p>In humans, PRAME mRNA expression was detected in a few normal tissues.

In nonhuman primates (Cynomolgus monkeys), the PRAME mRNA expression pattern shares some similarities with humans: namely, the antigen can be detected in the adrenal gland, the testis, and the ovaries of both species (unpublished data available to GSK). Furthermore, the monkey PRAME homologous protein presents >90% identity with the human PRAME protein. Thus, before the clinical evaluation of the PRAME cancer immunotherapeutic was launched, the safety of repeated injections of recPRAME+AS15 was evaluated in a GLP toxicity study in nonhuman primates (Cynomolgus monkeys).
<xref rid="R46" ref-type="bibr">46</xref>
In this previous study, no signs of inflammation or systemic toxicity were observed after injections of full human doses of recPRAME+AS15 in monkeys. recPRAME+AS15 also induced PRAME-specific antibodies; however, these results should be interpreted with caution due to the higher dose/body mass ratio used compared with the intended administration in humans.</p>
<p>To date, only a few reports on the immunogenicity of PRAME in patients with solid tumors have been published.
<xref rid="R64" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>
,
<xref rid="R65" ref-type="bibr">65</xref>
Our results support these very scarce reports on the PRAME tumor antigen as a potential target for immunotherapy of solid tumors.</p>
<p>In conclusion, the results presented in this manuscript indicate that recPRAME+AS15 induced a comprehensive immune response in CB6F1 and HLA-A02.01/HLA-DR1 transgenic mice and provided PRAME-specific long-term protection of CB6F1 mice against a tumor challenge. recPRAME+AS15 was well tolerated and did not induce any signs of systemic toxicity in nonhuman primates.</p>
