A year of successful cancer vaccines points to a path forward.
Results from recent clinical trials of the therapeutic vaccines sipuleucel-T (Dendreon Corp), PROSTVAC-VF-TRICOM (National Cancer Institute/BN ImmunoTherapeutics Inc) and BiovaxID (Biovest International Inc) are highlighted. These data support the further development of such vaccines, and provide guidance for the development of improved agents and protocols for the use of therapeutic vaccination to treat cancer.
