Safety and Efficacy Study of Epitope Peptide To Treat HLA-A*24 Disease Controlled Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Summary

The investigators previously identified three novel HLA-A\*2402-restricted epitope peptides, which were derived from three cancer-testis antigens, URLC10, CDCA1, and KIF20A, as targets for vaccination against lung cancer. In this clinical study, the investigators examine using a combination of these three peptides the safety, immunogenicity, and antitumor effect of vaccine treatment to prevent relapse of the disease for HLA-A\*2402-positive advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients whose disease are controlled after any standard therapies.
