Serial multiomics uncovers anti-glioblastoma responses not evident by routine clinical analyses

Abstract

Recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) remains incurable. One barrier to the development of effective rGBM therapies is the difficulty in collecting posttreatment tumor tissue. Serial multiomic assays from longitudinal rGBM biopsies may uncover tumor responses to a treatment. Here, we obtained 97 serial rGBM biopsy cores over 4 months from the first two patients participating in a clinical trial of repeated intratumoral dosing of the immunotherapeutic agent CAN-3110. Multiomic analysis of the biopsy cores revealed therapeutic effects, including longitudinal and spatial reshaping of the rGBM's microenvironment, expansion of new T cell tissue-resident effector memory clonotypes against CAN-3110 epitopes and other undetermined antigens, and expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-presented immunopeptides, including cancer testis antigens. Moreover, serial integrated multimodal analyses provided evidence of therapeutic responses to CAN-3110 despite traditional magnetic resonance imaging indicating progression. Clinically, the two treated patients achieved a pathologic response or stable clinical disease, respectively. These results show the value of longitudinal tissue sampling to understand rGBM's evolution during administration of an investigational therapy.
