Vaccination With Autologous Dendritic Cells Pulsed With Onco-Peptides for Treatment of Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer.A Phase I/II Study


HLA A2 positive patients are treated with PADRE and oncopeptide pulsed DC; p53, survivin and
telomerase peptides. Each patient is given 6 immunizations with at least 5x106
peptide/lysate pulsed autologous DC. Vaccination 1-4 is given weekly and 4-6 at 2-week
intervals. Those patients who exhibit stable disease, partial response or complete response
after 6 injections will be given 4 more vaccinations at 2-week interval. The vaccine is
applied by either intranodal or intradermal injection near the inguinal region. For adjuvant
used IL-2 2 MIU sc. day 2-6. Scans and re-staging tests are performed at scheduled intervals
throughout the study.
