Immunization of Patients With Metastatic Melanoma Using the GP100 Peptide Preceded by an Endoplasmic Reticulum Insertion Signal Sequence
Patients with metastatic melanoma who are HLA-A201+ will be immunized with a modified
peptide from the gp100 molecule that contains a signal sequence designed to improve peptide
presentation by antigen presenting cells. This peptide called gp100:ES209-217 (210M) will
be administered either alone or in combination with high or low dose IL-2. Patients will be
evaluated for clinical response, as well as undergo studies of the immunologic response to
the peptide immunization.
