Therapeutics Vaccine Development for Pancreatic Cancer

Therapeutics Vaccine Development for Pancreatic Cancer

Cancer vaccines offer a promising approach to trigger specific and long-lasting immune responses against tumor antigens. These vaccines have several advantages, including minimal non-specific effects, low toxicity, and the ability to induce lasting immune memory. Alfa Cytology specializes in pancreatic cancer (PC) vaccine research and development, offering services in creating therapeutic vaccines, including whole-cell, peptide-based, and dendritic cell-based PC vaccines.

Overview of Therapeutic Vaccines for Pancreatic Cancer

Due to its systemic and aggressive nature, complex mutational environment, desmoplastic stroma, and effective immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), PC is highly resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with poorer outcomes compared to other solid tumors and lack of effective therapeutic treatments to cure them. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new, effective and well-tolerated therapies for the treatment of this disease, and immunotherapy is an obvious area to explore. In the broad field of immunotherapy, cancer vaccines are a promising approach because of their effectiveness, safety and low cost. To date, a multitude of vaccines have been studied in PC, involving whole-cancer cells, dendritic cells (DCs), specific peptides, nucleic acids, and so on. As for antigen targets, mutated KRAS, mucin-1 (MUC1), mesothelin, Wilms' tumor 1 (WT1), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) are the most attractive targets.
