Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Title: IDO peptid vaccination in combination with immune stimulating agent Aldara and the adjuvant Montanide, for treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic non small-cell lung cancer. A first-in-man phase I trial. Hypothesis: In this trial the investigators assess a new immunotherapeutic strategy targeting the immune inhibiting enzyme, IDO to investigate the potential of vaccination against IDO as a possible anticancer target.
