Emergence of High-Avidity Melan-A–Specific Clonotypes as a Reflection of Anti–PD-1 Clinical Efficacy

Résumé

Therapeutic strategies using anti-PD-1-blocking antibodies reported unparalleled effectiveness for melanoma immunotherapy, but deciphering immune responses modulated by anti-PD-1 treatment remains a crucial issue. Here, we analyzed the composition and functions of the large Melan-A-specific T-cell repertoire in the peripheral blood of 9 melanoma patients before and after 2 months of treatment with anti-PD-1. We observed amplification of Melan-A-specific Vß subfamilies undetectable before therapy (thereafter called emerging Vß subfamilies) in responding patients, with a predominant expansion in patients with a complete response. These emerging Vß subfamilies displayed a higher functional avidity for their cognate antigen than Vß subfamilies not amplified upon anti-PD-1 therapy and could be identified by a sustained coexpression of PD-1 and TIGIT receptors. Thus, in addition to the emergence of neoantigen-specific T cells previously documented upon anti-PD-1 therapy, our work describes the emergence of high-avidity Melan-A-specific clonotypes as a surrogate marker of treatment efficacy.
