Identification of microenvironment features associated with primary resistance to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 + antiangiogenesis in gastric cancer through spatial transcriptomics and plasma proteomics

Résumé

Anti-angiogenic agents elicit considerable immune modulatory effects within the tumor microenvironment, underscoring the rationale for synergistic clinical development of VEGF and immune checkpoint inhibitors in advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Early phase studies involving Asian patients demonstrated encouraging anti-tumor efficacies. We report the results of the REGOMUNE phase II study, in which Caucasian patients were administered regorafenib, a multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in combination with avelumab, a PD-L1-targeting monoclonal antibody. This therapeutic regimen resulted in deep and durable responses in 19% of patients, with the median duration of response not yet reached. Notwithstanding, a significant proportion of AGC patients exhibited no therapeutic advantage, prompting investigations into mechanisms of inherent resistance. Comprehensive biomarker profiling elucidated that non-responders predominantly exhibited an augmented presence of M2 macrophages within the tumor microenvironment and a marked overexpression of S100A10 by neoplastic cells, a protein previously implicated in macrophage chemotaxis. Additionally, peripheral biomarker assessments identified elevated levels of cytokines, including CSF-1, IL-4, IL-8, and TWEAK, correlating with adverse clinical outcomes, thereby accentuating the role of macrophage infiltration in mediating resistance. These insights furnish an invaluable foundation for elucidating, and potentially circumventing, resistance mechanisms in current AGC therapeutic paradigms, emphasizing the integral role of tumor microenvironmental dynamics and immune modulation.
