WT1 Peptide Cancer Vaccine for Patients with Hematopoietic Malignancies and Solid Cancers by Yoshihiro Oka, Akihiro Tsuboi, Olga A. Elisseeva, Hiroko Nakajima, Fumihiro Fujiki, Manabu Kawakami, Toshiaki Shirakata, Sumiyuki Nishida, Naoki Hosen, Yusuke Oji, Ichiro Kawase, Haruo Sugiyama

“…The power of a tumor-associated-antigen (TAA)-derived cancer vaccine may be enhanced in combination with stronger adjuvants, helper peptide, molecular-target-based drugs, or some chemotherapy drugs, such as gemcitabine, which has been revealed to suppress regulartory T-cell function. In contrast, reduction of WT1 peptide dose may be needed for the treatment of patients with hematological stem cell diseases, because rapid and strong destruction of malignant cell-sustained hematopoiesis before recovery of normal hematopoiesis may lead to pancytopenia in these patients.…”
