Abstract
The solid tumor microenvironment (TME) poses a significant structural and biochemical barrier to immunotherapeutic agents. To address the limitations of tumor penetration and distribution, and to enhance antitumor efficacy of immunotherapeutics, we present here an autonomous active microneedle (MN) system for the direct intratumoral (IT) delivery of a potent immunoadjuvant, cowpea mosaic virus nanoparticles (CPMV) in vivo. In this active delivery system, magnesium (Mg) microparticles embedded into active MNs react with the interstitial fluid in the TME, generating a propulsive force to drive the nanoparticle payload into the tumor. Active delivery of CPMV payload into B16F10 melanomas in vivo demonstrated substantially more pronounced tumor regression and prolonged survival of tumor-bearing mice compared to that of passive MNs and conventional needle injection. Active MN administration of CPMV also enhanced local innate and systemic adaptive antitumor immunity. Our approach represents an elaboration of conventional CPMV in situ vaccination, highlighting substantial immune-mediated antitumor effects and improved therapeutic efficacy that can be achieved through an active and autonomous delivery system-mediated CPMV in situ vaccination.

Abstract
Purpose Generation of broad cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses against multiple epitopes and tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) may provide effective immunotherapy in patients with cancer. We evaluated a single-vial peptide vaccine consisting of nine HLA-A2 supertype-binding epitopes (two native and seven analog epitopes modified for optimal HLA binding or T-cell receptor stimulation) covering five TAAs and the universal helper pan-DR epitope, formulated as a stable emulsion with incomplete Freund's adjuvant (Montanide ISA 51; Seppic SA, Paris, France). The clinical efficacy, safety, and multiepitope immunogenicity of IDM-2101 was evaluated in patients with stage IIIB or IV non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients and Methods A total of 63 patients were enrolled who were positive for HLA-A2. End points included survival, safety, and immune response. IDM-2101 (previously EP-2101) was administered every 3 weeks for the first 15 weeks, then every 2 months through year 1, then quarterly through year 2, for a total of 13 doses. Epitope-specific cytotoxic and helper T-lymphocyte immunogenic responses were measured by the interferon gamma enzyme-linked immunosorbent spot assay. Results No significant adverse events were noted. Low-grade erythema and pain at the injection site were the most common adverse effects. One-year survival in the treated patients was 60%, and median survival was 17.3 months. One complete and one partial response were identified. Survival was longer in patients demonstrating an immune response to epitope peptides (P < .001). Conclusion IDM-2101 was well tolerated, and evidence of efficacy was suggested.
