NCIt synonyms : V3-P Cancer Vaccine; Oral Tableted Therapeutic Vaccine V3-P; Cancer Vaccine V3-P;
NCIt definition : An orally bioavailable, therapeutic cancer vaccine composed of the carbohydrate antigen
sialyl-Lewis A (carbohydrate antigen 19-9; CA19.9; CA19-9) that is derived from pooled
blood of pancreatic cancer patients, with potential immunomodulating activity. Upon
oral administration of the oral pancreatic cancer vaccine V3-P, the CA19.9 antigens
may stimulate the host immune system to mount a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated
immune response against pancreatic cancer cells expressing the CA19.9 antigen. CA19.9
is overexpressed on a number of different tumor cell types and plays a key role in
tumor cell survival and metastasis.;
