2002 JAN 23 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research has initiated the first European Phase I trial for Therion Biologics' two-component vaccine targeting the tumor antigen NY-ESO-1.

In this study, the Ludwig Institute will evaluate the safety and potential activity of Therion's pox virus-based vaccine for enhancing the body's own immune response against cancer. This initial clinical study will include patients with a wide variety of ESO-expressing tumors, including breast and bladder cancer, melanoma and some sarcoma patients.
