Interventions

arm1: The right peptides (up to 4 peptides) for vaccination to individual patients will be selected in consideration of the pre-existing host immunity assessed by the titers of anti-peptide IgG befo

s adjuvant every week (3.0 mg/each peptide

6 times/cycle). Ninjin-yoei-to (3 g/time, 3 times/day) will be orally administered from the date of the first vaccination to the date of the sixth vaccination. The peptide vaccination will be al

6 times/cycle). The peptide vaccination will be allowed to continue till four periods (24 times ) at the interval in every 2~4 weeks.

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: The subjects must satisfy the following conditions. 1) Patients must be diagnosed as lung cancer resistant to standard therapies.
