| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitors are expected to maintain a high level of QOL, compared to the current standard therapies, whereas the efficacy is only 10%~30%. In this study, we explored cell preparations and high/low molecular-weight therapeutics that had synergistic effects when combined with the antibodies. Regarding cell preparations, we selected gammadelta T cells and established an efficient expansion protocol for expansion of the cells, in which the fourth-generation bisphosphonate was used. When it comes to high molecular-weight therapeutics, we used an E. coli expression system and examined the synergistic effect of the proteinaceous preparations with PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitors. As for low molecular-weight therapeutics, we screened a Nagasaki University chemical library and obtained several hit compounds.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
PD-1免疫チェックポイント阻害剤を用いたがん免疫治療研究は1999年頃から開始され、実際に動物実験で抗PD-L1抗体の抗腫瘍効果が確認されたのは2001年頃であった。この時から、奏功率の低さが問題となっていたが、奏功率の改善は困難であった。本研究課題においてはPD-1免疫チェックポイント阻害剤との併用剤を、低分子、高分子、細胞製剤の中に見出すことができた。今後、これらの製剤に関して臨床試験を行い、その併用効果が確認できれば、これまでの適用症例に関してより高い奏効率が期待できるだけでなく、適応症例とならなかった他のがん種についても新たな適用を取得できる可能性がある。
