Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical safety and efficacies of cyclophosphamide combined cancer specific epitope peptides cocktail for advanced/relapsed solid tumors including GI/lung/cervical cancers
Detailed description
KOC1, TTK, CO16(URLC10), DEPDC1, MPHOSPH1 have been identified using genome-wide expression profile analysis by the use of cDNA microarray in the previous studies. The investigators have determined the HLA-A\*2402 restricted epitope peptides respectively derived from KOC1, TTK, CO16(URLC10), DEPDC1, and MPHOSPH1 showed strong INF-gamma production when stimulated with the appropriate targets expressing the appropriate protein and HLA-A\*2402. Furthermore, when vaccinated these peptides, specific CTLs were determined after the vaccination. Therefore the investigators focused on the prevention of further expansion of the solid tumors highly expressing these 5 proteins using these 5 peptides.
Interventions
1mg each of 5 peptides with IFA. 4 weekly s.c. administration.
