NUT carcinoma ("NC") is a rare but highly lethal solid tumor without an effective standard of care. NC caused by bromodomain-containing NUTM1 fusion genes, most commonly BRD4::NUTM1 . recruits p300 to acetylate H3K27 forming "megadomains" with the overexpression encapsulated oncogenes, notably MYC Akin , we hypothesized that transcriptional dysregulation would lead generation cancer specific antigens could be therapeutically actionable. Integrating genomics, immunopeptidomics, and computational biology approaches, identified PRAME as predominantly transcribed HLA Class I-presented cancer/testis antigen in NC. Further, show epitope-specific T-cell receptor ("TCR") x CD3 activator bispecific molecule modeled after brenetafusp has potent mediated activity against PRAME+ Our results often expressed due BRD4::NUTM1, induced are promising TCR targets for forthcoming clinical trials one aggressive tumors afflict humans refractory chemotherapy, checkpoint blockade, targeted therapies. We epitopes TCR-based therapeutics like NC, adding growing momentum addressing challenging malignancies therapeutics.
