Treatment of metastatic pediatric solid tumors remain a significant challenge, particularly in relapsed and refractory settings. Standard treatment has included surgical resection, radiation, chemotherapy, and, in the case of neuroblastoma, immunotherapy. Despite such intensive therapy, cancer recurrence is common, and most tumors become refractory to prior therapy, leaving patients with few conventional treatment options. Natural killer (NK) cells are non-major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted lymphocytes that boast several complex killing mechanisms but at an added advantage of not causing graft-versus-host disease, making use of allogeneic NK cells a potential therapeutic option. On top of their killing capacity, NK cells also produce several cytokines and growth factors that act as key regulators of the adaptive immune system, positioning themselves as ideal effector cells for stimulating heavily pretreated immune systems. Despite this promise, clinical efficacy of adoptive NK cell therapy to date has been inconsistent, prompting a detailed understanding of the biological pathways within NK cells that can be leveraged to develop “next generation” NK cell therapies. Here, we review advances in current approaches to optimizing the NK cell antitumor response including combination with other immunotherapies, cytokines, checkpoint inhibition, and engineering NK cells with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) for the treatment of pediatric solid tumors.

11556 Background: Refractory and recurrent advanced pediatric solid tumors are short of effective treatment and with a dismal outcome, thus an urgent need for novel and effective treatment. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of anlotinib, a novel and oral multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, in refractory or recurrent advanced pediatric solid tumors. Methods: The retrospective, single-institutional, observed study was conducted in Sun Yat-sen University cancer center in China. Refractory, recurrent, or advanced pediatric solid tumors patients treated with anlotinib between 2018 to 2020 were evaluated. Results: Forty-one patients and thirty patients were enrolled in the study to evaluated efficacy and safety, respectively. The objective response ratio (ORR) was 12.2% (95%CI 1.7-22.7): complete response (n = 0) and partial response (n = 5) (Table). The disease control rate (DCR) was 65.9% (95%CI 50.7-81). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 2.87 months (95%CI 0.86-4.88). According to anlotinib treatment schedule, all patients were divided into three groups: anlotinib monotherapy (A, n = 16), anlotinib combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment (A + ICI, n = 6), anlotinib combined with salvage chemotherapy (A + SC, n = 19). The ORR, DCR and median PFS for three groups were 6.3% (95%CI 7.1-19.6), 56.3% (95%CI 28.9-83.6), 2.43months, 16.7% (95%CI 26.2-59.5), 66.7% (95%CI 12.5-120.9), 1.13months, 15.8% (95%CI 2.3-33.8), 73.7% (95%CI 51.9-95.5), 2.87months, respectively. There was no significantly difference between three groups in aforementioned response index. The incidence rates of any grade and grade 3-4 adverse events were 80% and 20%, respectively. Bleeding (20%), hand-foot syndrome (13.3%), and diarrhea (13.3%) were the most common adverse events. Grade 3-4 adverse events include hypertension, hand-foot syndrome, diarrhea, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. There was no adverse events-related death. Conclusions: For heavily pretreated pediatric solid tumors, anlotinib may be an effective treatment with tolerable adverse events. Further prospective randomized controlled clinical study is warranted.[Table: see text]
