PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to up to 7 days after SABR treatment

Population: None of the core-needle samples were able to be analyzed and no data was collected from samples.

T-cell receptor (TCR) profile changes in the tumor using TCR sequencing.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: post-SABR

Population: None of the core-needle samples were able to be analyzed and no data was collected from samples.

Candidate tumor antigens, mutation associated neo-antigens (MANAs), and tumor associated neo-antigens, (TAAs) released from the tumor by SABR

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 to 7 day post SABR

Population: Scores for each participant is reported.

Semiquantitative immunohistochemistry scoring system was used to evaluate pathological changes, immune-cell populations (CD8, FoxP3), within the tumor. Semiquantitative scoring system: 0 None, 1: 1-5, 2: 6-10, 3: 11-20, 4: 21 or more positive cells per high powered field (400x). Score for each participant is reported.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Within one year after SABR

Population: Four patients had sufficient paired pre- and post-SABR tumor and blood samples for analysis to identify antigen-specific TCRs in the blood.

Assessed by the Mutation-Associated Neoantigen Functional Expansion of Specific T-cells (MANAFEST) assay. Number of participants where a peripheral neoantigen-specific T-cell responses and dynamics was detected is reported.
