Building on the Promise of Cancer Vaccines for Solid Tumors

Abstract

A novel telomerase vaccine (INVAC-1) has been evaluated in a phase I clinical trial (n = 26). It induced CD8+ and CD4+ T-cell responses and reduced circulating regulatory T cells. The findings support further development, especially in combination with vaccine adjuvants, plus therapies to increase immune infiltrates into solid tumor metastases.
