OBJECTIVETo investigate the safety and immune responses of 12 consecutive weeks of once-weekly personalized peptide vaccine (PPV) administration in patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma (UC) for whom therapy with methotrexate, vinblastine, adriamycin and cisplatin (MVAC) has failed.PATIENTS AND METHODSA phase I trial was designed. Ten patients with MVAC-refractory advanced or metastatic UC were treated with weekly personalized peptide vaccine 12 times using positive peptides chosen from 14 and 16 peptides in patients with human leucocyte antigens A24 and A2, respectively.Peptide-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursor analysis by interferon-gamma production and peptide-reactive immunoglobulin G (IgG) using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was monitored during the treatment.RESULTSThe peptide vaccination was safe and well tolerated with no major adverse effects. Increased cytotoxic T lymphocyte response and the anti-peptide IgG titre were revealed by the post-vaccination sera in eight patients.Clinical responses were as follows: one complete response, one partial response, two stable disease and six progressive disease.Median progression-free survival and overall survival were 3.0 and 8.9 months, respectively. In the four responders, median progression-free survival and overall survival were 21 and 24 months, respectively.CONCLUSIONSThis phase I study showed the safety of and boosted immune responses in response to PPV for advanced UC.The potential efficacy of 12 consecutive weekly vaccinations with PPV in patients with advanced UC merits further investigation based on these findings.
