Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text Objectives: To elucidate the efficacy of adjuvant vaccine monotherapy using 3 Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-A∗24-restricted tumor-specific peptide antigens for ESCC, upregulated lung cancer 10, cell division cycle associated 1, and KH domain-containing protein overexpressed in cancer 1. Summary of Background Data: ESCC patients with pathologically positive nodes (pN(+)) have a high risk for postoperative recurrence, despite curative resection after preoperative therapy. Subclinical micrometastases are an appropriate target for cancer vaccine. Methods: This is a non-randomized prospective phase II clinical trial (UMIN000003557). ESCC patients curatively resected after preoperative therapy with pN(+) were allocated into the control and vaccine groups (CG and VG) according to the HLA-A status. One mg each of three epitope peptides was postoperatively injected 10 times weekly followed by 10 times biweekly to the VG. The primary and secondary endpoints were relapse-free survival (RFS) and esophageal cancer-specific survival (ECSS), respectively. Results: Thirty were in the CG and 33 in the VG. No significant difference was observed in RFS between the CG and VG (5-year RFS: 32.5% vs 45.3%), but the recurrence rate significantly decreased with the number of peptides which induced antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. The VG showed a significantly higher 5-year ECSS than the CG (60.0% vs 32.4%, P = 0.045) and this difference was more prominent in patients with CD8+ and programmed death-ligand 1 double negative tumor (68.0% vs 17.7%, P = 0.010). Conclusions: Our cancer peptide vaccine might improve the survival of ESCC patients, which is warranted to be verified in the phase III randomized controlled study.
