In the dose-escalation phase of a Phase I clinical trial in which six subjects each were vaccinated with PepCan at the 50, 100, 250, and 500μg per peptide dose, the 50μg dose showed the best histological regression rate. Ten additional subjects were vaccinated at this dose in the final dose phase. As with the dose-escalation phase, no dose-limiting toxicities were observed. Overall, the histological regression rates were 50% at the 50μg dose (7 of 14) and 100μg dose (3 of 6), and 45% overall (14 of 31). Of subjects in whom HPV type 16 (HPV 16) was detected at entry, it became undetectable in 3 subjects after vaccination, and the viral loads significantly decreased in 9 subjects in whom HPV 16 infection was detected at entry and exit (p=0.008). Immune profiling revealed increased T-helper type 1 cells after vaccinations (p=0.02 and p=0.0004 after 2 and 4 vaccinations respectively). T-helper type 2 cells initially increased after 2 vaccinations (p=0.01), but decreased below the baseline level after 4 vaccinations although not significantly. Pre-vaccination regulatory T-cell levels were significantly lower in histological responders compared to non-responders (p=0.03). Feasibility of testing plasma for multiplex cytokine/chemokine analysis and of performing proteomic analysis of PBMCs was examined for potentially identifying biomarkers in the future. While these analyses are feasible to perform, attention needs to be given to how soon the blood samples would be processed after phlebotomy. As sufficient safety of PepCan has been demonstrated, enrollment for the Phase II clinical trial has been opened.
