Table 4.

Numerical results for the optimization problem OP1. Anti-CTLA4 has been administered as mono-therapy (AC) and in combination with dendritic cell vaccine (AC + V). Both the immunotherapies have been tested by taking into account the general constraints defined in Section 2.5 and an additional constraint concerning the minimum time interval between two infusions (Δt) fixed as 1 or 3 weeks. Column three and four list the infusion times and doses predicted by the model as the optimal schedules. The values O1 and O2 represent the two components of the optimization function, namely O1=t1tfTum(t)dt and O2=Tox(tf,Ip(t)).
