Research Abstract

To develop tumor-specific immunotherapy for bone and soft-tissue sarcomas, we have planned and conducted translational and clinical researches as follows ; 1) We analyzed the overexpression of WT1 gene and its correlation with prognosis in 52 patients with soft-tissue sarcoma, elucidating WT1 overexpression being as a prognostic factor for patiets with soft-tissue sarcoma and WT1 peptide to be a candidate of molecular targets for tumor-specific immunotherapy for sarcomas(Cancer 106(10) : 2233-2240, 2006) . 2) We have started a phase I/II clinical trial of tumor-specific immunotherapy using WT1 peptide for a variety of solid cansers including bone and soft-tissue sarcomas(30 cases) from April 2004, to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of WT1 peptide. Twenty cases of locally advanced and/or metastatic bone and soft-tissue sarcomas were enrolled to the trial until March 2008. There are 8 SD(stable disease) , 11PD(progressive disease) , and one suspended case by patient's decision, without PR(partial response) /or CR(complete response) cases. We have not yet experienced severe toxicity in WT1 vaccinations except for local redness/swelling of intracutaneous injection sites. 3) We have performed an experimental DC(denritic cell) immunotherapy using C3H murine model of lung metastases from osteosarcoma(LM8) , which was originally established in our laboratory, and demonstrated the anti-tumor activity of DC vaccine immunotherapy for primary tumors and lung metastases of LM8 osteosarcoma cells(Clin Orthop 453 : 318-327, 2006).
For further projects, we will progress the phase I/II clinical trial of tumor-specific immunotherapy using WT1 peptide for bone and soft-tissue sarcomas(30 cases) , and also develop a new molecular targeting therapy for bone and soft-tissue sarcomas focusing SSX gene products as a cancer-testis antigen frequently expressed not only in sarcomas but also in a variety of solid cancers.
