1. Gemcitabine and capecitabine with or without telomerase peptide vaccine GV1001 in patients with locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic cancer (TeloVac) : an open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial
안녕하십니까 금일 발표할 저널은 telomerase peptide vaccine인 GV1001을 advanced pancreatic cancer에서 gemcitabine과 capcitabine 병합요법에 추가하는 것에 대한 open-label randomised 3상연구에 관한 논문으로 lancet oncology에 2014년에 실린 논문입니다

2. Introduction
The outcome of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer remains poor.
less than 12 months
During repeated rounds of DNA replication, the telomeric ends of DNA become progressively shortened
아시다시피 advanced pancreatic Ca.의 예후는 12개월 미만으로 여전히 poor하여 새로운 약제가 필요한 시점입니다.
Chromosome의 말단에는 TTAGGG 서열이 반복되는 telomere라는 site가 존재하고 DNA가 replication이 되는 동안 이 telomere는 짧아지게 됩니다.

3. Introduction
The outcome of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer remains poor.
less than 12 months
During repeated rounds of DNA replication, the telomeric ends of DNA become progressively shortened
Reactivation of telomerase, the telomere-repair enzyme, is a crucial event in oncogenic transformation, and occurs in nearly all pancreatic cancers

4. Introduction
GV1001 is a human telomerase reverse transcriptase catalytic subunit (hTERT) class II 16mer peptide vaccine

5. Introduction
GV1001 is a human telomerase reverse transcriptase catalytic subunit (hTERT) class II 16mer peptide vaccine
A phase 2 trial of GV1001 in advanced pancreatic cancer showed a total immune response in 24 of 38 patients (63%)
Immune responders had a greater median survival (216 days) than did non-responders (88 days)
The TeloVac study aimed to exploit the positive immunomodulatory effects and tested the effect of combining them with GV1001 with standard chemotherapy
Chemotherapy delivered after immunotherapy can enhance the effect of immunotherapy by delivering a bolus of tumour antigens and immunostimulatory signals

6. Methods
Study design
Multicentre, three-group, open-label, phase 3 randomised controlled trial
51 UK hospital
Inclusion criteria
Older than 18yrs
Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
ECOG performance status 0~2
Adequate end organ function
Exclusion criteria
RT within the last 4weeks
Intracerebral metastases
Previous chemotherapy
Clinically significant serious not currently controlled on present therapy
Concurrent malignancy

7. Methods

8. Methods - procedure Chemotherapy alone group
Gemcitabine : 1000 mg/m2, 30 min IV infusion on days 1, 8, and 15
Capecitabine : 830 mg/m2 orally twice daily for 21 days
Repeated every 28 days for six cycles, or until disease progression
Sequential chemoimmunotherapy group
Two cycles of combination chemotherapy
Subsequently immunised with an intradermal injection of recombinant GM-CSF (75 μg) into the lower abdomen
10–15 min later, received an intradermal injection at the same site of 0.56 mg of GV1001 (200 mL of 2.8 mg/mL)
On days 1, 3, and 5 during week 1, then once on weeks 2, 3, 4, and 6
Concurrent chemoimmunotherapy
Received chemotherapy as chemotherapy alone group for 6 cycles
GM-CSF and GV1001 from day 1 of therapy
Then received just immunotherapy at the end of cycle six

13. Conclusion
Adding GV1001 vaccination to chemotherapy did not improve overall survival.
New strategies to enhance the immune response effect of telomerase vaccination during chemotherapy are required for clinical efficacy.
