  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>CD8<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cell reactivity towards tumor mutation-derived neoantigens is widely believed to facilitate the antitumor immunity induced by immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Here we show that broadening in the number of neoantigen-reactive CD8<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cell (NART) populations between pre-treatment to 3-weeks post-treatment distinguishes patients with controlled disease compared to patients with progressive disease in metastatic urothelial carcinoma (mUC) treated with PD-L1-blockade. The longitudinal analysis of peripheral CD8<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cell recognition of patient-specific neopeptide libraries consisting of DNA barcode-labelled pMHC multimers in a cohort of 24 patients from the clinical trial NCT02108652 also shows that peripheral NARTs derived from patients with disease control are characterised by a PD1<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> Ki67<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> effector phenotype and increased CD39 levels compared to bystander bulk- and virus-antigen reactive CD8<jats:sup>+</jats:sup> T cells. The study provides insights into NART characteristics following ICB and suggests that early-stage NART expansion and activation are associated with response to ICB in patients with mUC.</jats:p>
