| Research Abstract |
We performed the Phase I clinical trial "Cancer vaccine with NY-ESO-1 protein against advanced esophageal cancer patients." 13 patients were entered, and advanced effects, immune responses and clinical responses by the reagent were observed. No severe advanced effect was observed. For NY-ESO-1 specific immune responses antibody and CD4, CD8 T cells were analyzed by ELISA and secretion assay of INF-gamma, respectively. Remarkable or local clinical responses were observed in 4 out of 13 patients and they showed both elevation of antibody titer and detectable induction of CD4 T cells. CD8 T cells were observed in most of patients. Epitopes of antibody, CD4 and CD8 T cells in NY-ESO-1 protein were analyzed and we identified high immunogenic lesion with about 70 amino acids long at the center of NY-ESO-1 protein sequence, which were easily and economically producible by the Peptide Synthesizer without use of E. Coli. Instead of whole protein, this high immnogenic 70-mer peptide is being synthesized for the "Cancer Vaccine with NY-ESO-1 Protein as Adjuvant Therapy after Surgical Treatment for esophageal cancer patients."
For this trial, advanced esophageal cancer patients will be vaccinated as the adjuvant therapy after curative surgical treatment with pre-operative chemotherapy. We have already calculated the tumor-free survival rate of those 60 patients as a control. Performing the trial new control patients will be recruited accumulated on this control.
We also plan to vaccine with overlapping serial short peptides from NY-ESO-1 sequence.
