Parth B. Patel, J <strong>Vaccines</strong> Vaccin <strong>2013</strong>, 4:5http://dx.doi.org/10.4172/2157-7560.S1.0183 rd International Conference on<strong>Vaccines</strong> & VaccinationJuly 29-31, <strong>2013</strong> Embassy Suites Las Vegas, NV, USAA review on generation of novel human cancer vaccines testing in phase III clinical trialsParth B. PatelKalol Institute of Pharmacy, IndiaDiscovery of a potential anticancer therapy is still a challenge to the scientists. Though many different kinds of therapies aredeveloped none of them has lived up to the task to cure cancer completely. Cancer vaccines are found to be the latest discoveryin the field of cancer. Although till date only one cancer vaccine is approved by FDA, there are number of vaccines undergoingpreclinical & clinical trials which are promising to be an effective anticancer therapy. This article reviews some of the basic aspectsof different types of cancer vaccines along with their drawbacks & future development. Novel vaccines produce specific immuneresponses and objective clinical responses with minimal toxicity in phase I/II trials. Advances in gene transfer technology, tumorimmunology and better methods of monitoring specific anti tumor immune responses allow the hope that tumor vaccines willbe introduced into the clinic, at least in some malignancies resistant to systemic therapy so far such as melanoma and renal cellcarcinoma. The first generation of human cancer vaccines has been tested in phase III clinical trials, but only a few of these havedemonstrated sufficient efficacy to be licensed for clinical use. This article reviews some of the mechanisms that could contributeto these limited clinical responses, and highlights the challenges faced for development of future vaccines.BiographyParth B.
