Summary of therapeutic EBV vaccines.
Platform/Antigen | Disease | Clinical trial | Published year | Results |
---|---|---|---|---|
1. Dendritic cells (DCs)-based EBV vaccines | ||||
Autologous monocyte-derived DCs pulsed with LMP2 peptides | NPC | Phase I | 2002 | EBV-specific CD8+ T-cell responses boosted in 9/16 patients, and partial tumor regression induced in 2/16 patients (186). |
Autologous DCs pulsed with LMP2A peptides | NPC | Phase I | 2013 | LMP2-specific T-cell response improved in 9/16 patients, with decreased serum EBV load (187). |
2. Recombinant viral vector vaccines | ||||
Adenoviral vector expressing LMP2 | NPC | Phase I | 2016 | LMP2-specific CD3+ CD4+ cells increased (188). |
Modified vaccinia ankara (MVA) expressing EBNA1 and LMP2 as a fusion protein (MVA-EL) | NPC | Phase I | 2013 | Two-fold increase in the T-cell response to EBNA1 and/or LMP2 in 15/18 patients treated (189). |
MVA-EL | NPC | Phase I | Increased numbers and differentiationof CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells to EBNA1 and LMP2 in 4/8 patients (190). |
