Mammaglobin-A is a target for breast cancer vaccination

Oncoimmunology. 2016 Feb 26;5(2):e1069940. doi: 10.1080/2162402X.2015.1069940. eCollection 2016 Feb.

Abstract

We recently completed a phase 1 clinical trial demonstrating the safety of a mammaglobin-A DNA vaccine in patients with metastatic breast cancer. We are currently enrolling patients with early stage breast cancer in a phase 1b clinical trial. The mammaglobin-A DNA vaccine will be administered concurrently with neoadjuvant endocrine therapy, providing a unique opportunity to examine the impact of vaccination in the tumor microenvironment.
