HLA-A*0201 Restricted Peptide Vaccine Therapy With Gemcitabine With Gemcitabine in Patient Pancreatic Cancer (Phase1)

Phase 1
Conditions
Pancreatic Cancer
Interventions
Biological: VEGFR1, VEGFR2
Registration Number
NCT01266720
Lead Sponsor
Fukushima Medical University
Brief Summary

The purpuse of this study is to assess toxicities of angiogenic peptide vaccine therapy with gemcitabine in treating HLA-A\*0201 restricted patient with non-resectable pancreatic cancer.

Detailed Description

The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is extremely poor even with extensive surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. It has been required development of new treatment modalities. Immunotherapy is one of the encouraging modalities for cancer patients. The investigators have to assess its toxicities and immune responsiveness.
