ABSTRACT

The present study assessed plasma IgG in patients with metastatic recurrent breast cancer (mrBC) that is reactive to various T-cell epitope peptides of prostate-related antigens (PRAs), such as prostate-specific antigen, prostate-specific membrane antigen and prostate acid phosphatase. Patients were treated with personalized peptide vaccines (PPVs) which were selected and administered from a panel of candidate peptides based on human leukocyte antigen-types and prevaccination IgG levels to each peptide. The peptide panel consisted of 27 cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-epitope peptides derived from tumor-associated antigens, not including PRA. PRA peptides and peptide panels were retrospectively analyzed in 77 PPV-treated patients. The results revealed that PRA reactive IgG levels were increased after vaccination in 31 of the 97 patients included in the pre sent study. Although there was no significant association between anti-PRA peptide levels and progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival, anti-PRA peptide levels were significantly associated with PFS (P=0.009) in estrogen-receptor positive (ER+) patients with cancer. The results suggested that plasma anti-PRA IgG levels may be a useful prognostic marker for monitoring PPVs, particularly for ER+ patients with mrBC (trial registration no. from the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry, UMIN000001844).
