摘要: DepoVax™ is an innovative and strongly immunogenic vaccine platform. Survivin highly expressed in many tumor types has reported prognostic value. To generate tumor-specific immune response, a novel cancer was formulated DepoVax platform (DPX-Survivac) using survivin HLA class I peptides. Safety potency of DPX-Survivac tested combination with immune-modulator metronomic cyclophosphamide ovarian patients. All the patients receiving therapy produced antigen-specific responses; higher dose treatment generating significantly magnitude responses. Strong T cell responses were associated differentiation naive cells into central/effector memory (CM/EM) late differentiated (LD) polyfunctional CD4+ CD8+ cells. This approach enabled rapid de novo activation/expansion provided strong rationale for further testing to determine clinical benefits this activation. These data represent vaccine-induced activation setting self-tumor antigen previously described only animal models.
