Tumor Vaccine Therapy Against Advanced Esophageal Cancer Using HLA-A*2402 Restricted Epitope Peptides Drived From URLC10
URLC10 have been identified as cancer specific molecules especially in non small cell lung
cancer using genome-wide expression profile analysis by cDNA microarray technique. In a
prior study, it has been shown that URLC10 are upregulated in human esophageal tumors. The
investigators identified that peptides derived from these proteins significantly induce the
effective tumor specific CTL response in vitro. According to these findings, in this trial,
we evaluate the safety, immunological and clinical response of URLC10 peptide. Patients will
be vaccinated once in one week to the eighth vaccine and will be vaccinated once in two
weeks from the ninth vaccine. On each vaccination day, the URLC10 peptide (1mg) mixed with
Montanide ISA 51 will be administered by endodermic injection
