Abstract
Preclinical studies suggest that GP2, a HER2/neu-derived peptide, is immunogenic. Subsequent phase I clinical trials demonstrated that GP2-based vaccines are safe and effective in stimulating peptide-specific immunity. A GP2 peptide vaccine is currently being evaluated in a phase II efficacy trial enrolling breast cancer patients. This article reviews initial studies characterizing GP2, clinical trials investigating GP2-based vaccines, and novel immunotherapy strategies incorporating GP2 in combination with other peptides or with the monoclonal antibody trastuzumab.Entities:
