Hope for skin cancer vaccine
 

13.10.2005

The Oncophage cancer vaccine extended the survival of advanced skin cancer patients by about eight months compared to standard treatment, according to preliminary phase III trial results released Monday by Biotech company Antigenics Inc.
However, the company noted that the results have yet to achieve statistical significance, the Associated Press reported. A final analysis of the data from the trial won't be completed until early 2006.
The Oncophage vaccine is a personalised treatment that utilises tissue from a malignant tumour to instruct a patient's immune system to attack the cancer, the AP reported.
This study included 322 people with advanced skin cancer that had spread to other areas of the body. The patients received either Oncophage or standard therapies, including chemotherapy, surgery, biological agents, or a combination of those treatments.
The patients who received Onchophage lived an average of 20.9 months, compared to an average of 12.8 months for patients who received standard treatment, the AP reported. ??“ (HealthDayNews)
