Vaccination Of Prostate Cancer Patients With A Bivalent Vaccine Containing MUC-2 Glycopeptide And Globo H Conjugates: A Dose-Escalating Trial Studying The Immunogenicity And Safety Of The Immunological Adjuvant GPI-0100


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the optimal (in terms of antibody response) and safe dose range of
glycosylated MUC-2-Globo H-KLH conjugate vaccine with adjuvant GPI-0100 in patients
with biochemically relapsed prostate cancer.

- Assess post-immunization changes in prostate-specific antigen levels and other
objective parameters of disease in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of GPI-0100.

Patients receive glycosylated MUC-2-Globo H-KLH conjugate vaccine with adjuvant GPI-0100
subcutaneously weekly on weeks 0-2, 6, 14, and 26 in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or
disease progression.

Cohorts of 5 patients receive escalating doses of GPI-0100 until the optimal dose, based on
antibody response, is reached.

Patients are followed every 3 months.
