Abstract

The results of a Phase I clinical trial in which a glypican-3 (GPC3)-derived peptide was tested in advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients point to a strong correlation between immunological and clinical responses. This commentary reviews our fundamental studies and clinical trials on the GPC3-derived peptide vaccine.
