Abstract/OtherAbstract:
PURPOSE: To assess the tolerability and effectiveness of 105AD7 vaccination in colorectal cancer patients. 105AD7 is a human anti-idiotypic antibody mimicking CD55, a glycoprotein, which is more than expressed on colorectal cancer cells and protects them from attack by complement. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Colorectal cancer patients (n = 67) eligible for primary surgery were randomized to receive the anti-idiotypic antibody 105AD7+/-Bacillus Calmette-Guerin/alum or to no treatment (control group). The immunizations were given i.d./i.m. before surgery and continued for a period of 2 years. The patients were monitored in enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT; gamma-IFN), proliferation assay, and Luminex cytokine assays. RESULTS: No serious adverse events were recorded. Of the 32 investigated immunized patients, 14 (44%) were considered to be responders in the ELISPOT assay. Induced proliferative responses were noted in 17 of 40 (43%) monitored patients. There was no correlation between the ELISPOT and proliferation assays. Luminex analyses revealed tumor necrosis factor-alpha and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor responses not only to the vaccine but also toward the native antigen CD55 in 9 of 13 (69%) patients. CONCLUSIONS: Immune responses to vaccination were induced in a majority of monitored patients measured by ELISPOT and proliferation assay. The lack of correlation between the ELISPOT and proliferation assays may reflect the fact that the two methods measure different T-cell responses and highlights the importance of multiple readouts in evaluating a potential cancer vaccine. Responses to both the anti-idiotype and the CD55 antigen were measurable, adding support to the use of CD55 as a target in cancer treatment.
