Abstract
This mini-review explores recent advancements in cancer vaccines that target Wilms' tumor (WT1). Phase I/II trials of WT1 peptide vaccines have demonstrated their safety and efficacy against various cancers. Early trials employing HLA class I peptides evolved through their combination with HLA class II peptides, resulting in improved clinical outcomes. Additionally, WT1-targeted dendritic cell vaccines have exhibited favorable results. Studies focusing on hematological malignancies have revealed promising outcomes, including long-term remission and extended survival times. The combination of vaccines with immune checkpoint inhibitors has shown synergistic effects. Current preclinical developments are focused on enhancing the effectiveness of WT1 vaccines, underscoring the necessity for future large-scale Phase III trials to further elucidate their efficacy.
这篇微型综述探讨了针对Wilms瘤(WT1)的癌症疫苗的最新进展。WT1肽疫苗的I/II期试验证明了其对各种癌症的安全性和有效性。早期采用 HLA I 类肽的试验通过将其与 HLA II 类肽相结合而得到了发展,从而改善了临床效果。此外,WT1 靶向树突状细胞疫苗也取得了良好的效果。针对血液恶性肿瘤的研究显示了良好的结果,包括长期缓解和延长生存时间。疫苗与免疫检查点抑制剂的结合显示出协同效应。目前的临床前研究主要集中在提高 WT1 疫苗的有效性上,这说明未来有必要进行大规模的 III 期试验,以进一步阐明其功效。

(formerly Human Vaccines; issn 1554-8619)
Vaccine research and development is extending its reach beyond the prevention of bacterial or viral diseases. There are experimental vaccines for immunotherapeutic purposes and for applications outside of infectious diseases, in diverse fields such as cancer, autoimmunity, allergy, Alzheimer’s and addiction. Many of these vaccines and immunotherapeutics should become available in the next two decades, with consequent benefit for human health. Continued advancement in this field will benefit from a forum that can (A) help to promote interest by keeping investigators updated, and (B) enable an exchange of ideas regarding the latest progress in the many topics pertaining to vaccines and immunotherapeutics.
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics provides such a forum. It is published monthly in a format that is accessible to a wide international audience in the academic, industrial and public sectors.
