Popis: | 564 Background: We are conducting multiple, prospective, phase II trials evaluating different HER-2/neu(HER2) peptide vaccines in the adjuvant setting to prevent breast cancer (BrCa) recurrence. E75 (HER2: 369-377) and another vaccine (X) are HLA-A2/3+-restricted peptides capable of stimulating CD8+ cytotoxic T cells with anti-HER2 tumor activity. Trastuzumab (Tz), a recombinant monoclonal anti-HER2 antibody, has been shown to reduce BrCa recurrence by 50%. We examined the sequential use of Tz and a CD8 T cell-eliciting vaccine to compare the efficacy of sequential passive and active immunization to passive immunotherapy alone. Methods: We examined patients from our E75 and vaccine X clinical trials. HLA-A2/3+ node positive or high-risk node negative BrCa patients with any level of HER2 expression, disease-free after standard treatments were vaccinated with E75 or X+GM-CSF (immunoadjuvant) vs. nothing (E75 trial) or GM-CSF alone (X trial). Vaccinations were given as 6 monthly intradermal inoculations. Pat... |
