Clinical Trial Of Cancer Vaccine Initiated.(Brief Article)
2001 JUL 25 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) --
MediGene AG (MDG) announced the start of a Phase I/II clinical trial for a vaccine against malignant melanoma.
The first step of the therapy against malignant melanoma is the excision of the tumor. For the production of the vaccine, immune-activating genes are then introduced into these tumor cells in the laboratory. This gene transfer is performed using non-pathogenic an adeno-associated viruses (AAV) vector. After a treatment stopping the further growth of the tumor cells, the modified cells are administered to the patient. The goal of the therapeutic vaccination is to activate the immune defense and to eliminate any remaining tumor cells (metastases).
The study will be performed in several European countries and will include patients who have been diagnosed with melanoma stage IV and who have undergone immunotherapy and chemotherapy without results. The main aim of the clinical study is to test the tolerance of the vaccine.
