| Research Abstract |
Phase I clinical trials of cancer vaccine with human HER2 devived peptide HER2p63-71 were performed for the purpose of the safety of the peptide. (Method) Peptide vaccination began from amount 30 ug cohort that was increased to 100 μg, 300 μg, and 1 mg, were performed total 5 times subcutaneous injection. The 4th time and 5th GM-CSF were used together. (Result) 10 patients of HER2 positive ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and lung cancer, were registered, the detrimental phenomenon was not accepted in the cancer vaccine clinical test. The delayed-type Hypersensitivity was observed during the peptide vaccine for one patient, and became a positivity during after a test end continuation of peptide vaccine for one patient. The neoplasm reduction effect has not observed clinically, either. The HER2 p63-71 specific CD8+ Tlymphocyte was detected in the fluid in the thoracic cavity lymphocytes by one of breast cancer patients. The cancer vaccine using HER2 devived peptide accepts a detrimental phenomenon and was safe. The HER2p63-71 specific T-lynphocytes have been quantitatively measured by ELISPOT assay. Moreover, using of tetramer assay, detection of HER2p63-71 specific CTL was possible.
