CD8 T cell-mediated immune responses are
critical to the increased efficacy of Doxil in
BRCA1 deficient tumors

BRCA-deficient tumors are vulnerable to the
immunomodulatory effects of Doxil

We hypothesized that the immunogenicity of
BRCA-/- tumors contributes to the improved
clinical response to Doxil among women with
hereditary ovarian cancer
The role of T cells in tumor clearance following
exposure to Doxil was tested using a murine BRCA1-/ovarian cancer model

56% of women with recurrent BRCA-associated ovarian
cancer demonstrated a response to Doxil1
In addition to causing DNA damage, Doxil increases the
vulnerability of ovarian cancer cells to T cell attack
Immunophenotypic changes in response to Doxil are
more pronounced in BRCA-/- cells
BRCA-/- tumors recruit higher numbers of T cells after
Doxil exposure

Doxil increased intratumoral T cell recruitment and overall survival
in mice with BRCA1- tumors
Both CD4 and CD8 T cell
populations were present in
BRCA1- tumors and ascites
Doxil exposure increased
cytotoxic CD8 T cells and
reduced suppressive FoxP3 T cells

Conclusions
•
•
•
•
Doxil improved survival in a BRCA1- model of ovarian cancer
This effect persisted in the absence of CD4 T cells but is diminished in the absence
of CD8 T cells
Cytotoxic CD8 T cells are necessary for the enhanced response to Doxil observed in
BRCA1- tumor bearing mice
BRCA1- deficient ovarian cancers may be more susceptible to immunotherapeutic
strategies
Limitations:
• These results represent a small pilot study
and need to be confirmed in larger
cohorts
• Unfortunately the national Doxil shortage
has limited our ability to conduct planned
experiments
