Phase I study
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
Increasing the doses of URLC10 peptides will be administered by subcutaneous injection on day 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 28-day treatment cycles. Doses of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0mg/body are planned. Repeated cycles of this therapy will be continued until patients develop progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity, or maximum 2 cycles, whichever occurs first.
Gemcitabine will be administered intravenously at a fixed dose of 1000mg/m2 on day 1, 8, and 15. Repeated cycles of this therapy will be continued until patients develop progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity, or maximum 2 cycles, whichever occurs first.
