Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immune response and clinical efficacies of HLA-A\*2402 restricted epitope peptides URLC10, CDCA1, and KIF20A emulsified with Montanide ISA 51 for advanced non-small cell lung cancers.
Detailed description
The investigators previously identified three novel HLA-A\*2402-restricted epitope peptides, which were derived from three cancer-testis antigens, URLC10, CDCA1, and KIF20A, as targets for cancer vaccination against lung cancer. In this phase I trial, the investigators examine using a combination of these three peptides the safety, immunogenicity, and antitumor effect of vaccine treatment for HLA-A\*2402-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients who failed to standard therapy.
Interventions
Escalating doses of every peptide will be administered by subcutaneous injection on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each treatment cycle. Planned doses of peptides are 1.0mg, 2.0mg and 3.0mg.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluation of safety (NCI CTCAE version3): the number of adverse events of vaccination therapy. | 2 months |
| Evaluation of tolerability (maximum tolerated dose, MTD and dose limiting toxicity, DLT) for the determination of the recommended dose for next phase trial. | 2 months |
Secondary
