Phase 1 study of safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the human telomerase (hTERT)-encoded DNA plasmids INO-1400 and INO-1401 with or without IL-12 DNA plasmid INO-9012 in adult patients with solid tumors

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is frequently classified as a 'universal' tumor associated antigen due to its expression in a vast number of cancers. We evaluated plasmid DNA-encoded hTERT as an immunotherapy across nine cancer types. METHODS: A phase 1 clinical trial was conducted in adult patients with no evidence of disease following definitive surgery and standard therapy, who were...
