Background: Uterine leiomyosarcomas (uLMS) are aggressive tumours with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Although immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has proven effective in some 'challenging‐to‐treat' cancers, clinical trials showed that uLMS do not respond to ICB. Emerging evidence suggests that aberrant PI3K/mTOR signalling can drive resistance to ICB. We therefore explored the relevance of the PI3K/mTOR pathway for ICB treatment in uLMS and explored pharmacological inhibition of this pathway to sensitise these tumours to ICB. Methods: We performed an integrated multiomics analysis based on TCGA data to explore the correlation between PI3K/mTOR dysregulation and immune infiltration in 101 LMS. We assessed response to PI3K/mTOR inhibitors in immunodeficient and humanized uLMS patient‐derived xenografts (PDXs) by evaluating tumour microenvironment modulation using multiplex immunofluorescence. We explored response to single‐agent and a combination of PI3K/mTOR inhibitors with PD‐1 blockade in humanized uLMS PDXs. We mapped intratumoural dynamics using single‐cell RNA/TCR sequencing of serially collected biopsies. Results: PI3K/mTOR over‐activation (pS6high) associated with lymphocyte depletion and wound healing immune landscapes in (u)LMS, suggesting it contributes to immune evasion. In contrast, PI3K/mTOR inhibition induced profound tumour microenvironment remodelling in an ICB‐resistant humanized uLMS PDX model, fostering adaptive anti‐tumour immune responses. Indeed, PI3K/mTOR inhibition induced macrophage repolarisation towards an anti‐tumourigenic phenotype and increased antigen presentation on dendritic and tumour cells, but also promoted infiltration of PD‐1+ T cells displaying an exhausted phenotype. When combined with anti‐PD‐1, PI3K/mTOR inhibition led to partial or complete tumour responses, whereas no response to single‐agent anti‐PD‐1 was observed. Combination therapy reinvigorated exhausted T cells and induced clonal hyper‐expansion of a cytotoxic CD8+ T‐cell population supported by a CD4+ Th1 niche. Conclusions: Our findings indicate that aberrant PI3K/mTOR pathway activation contributes to immune escape in uLMS and provides a rationale for combining PI3K/mTOR inhibition with ICB for the treatment of this patient population.
