Final analysis of a phase I/IIa trial of the folate‐binding protein‐derived E39 peptide vaccine to prevent recurrence in ovarian and endometrial cancer patients
Abstract
E39, an HLA‐A2‐restricted, immunogenic peptide derived from the folate‐binding protein (FBP), is overexpressed in multiple malignancies. We conducted a phase I/IIa trial of the E39 + GM‐CSF vaccine with booster inoculations of either E39 or E39′ (an attenuated version of E39) to prevent recurrences in disease‐free endometrial and ovarian cancer patients(pts). Here, we present the final 24‐month landmark analysis.
