Target sample size100
Countries of recruitmentJapan
Study typeInterventional
Intervention(s)(1st treatment: total 6 times, every weeks) Day 1: Select peptide candidates (up to 4), to which peptide-specific IgGs are detected before vaccination, and administer peptides that showed the highest reactivity. Individually emulsify these peptides with IFA and subcutaneously inject (3.0 mg/peptide). Day 8, 15, 22, 29, 36: Inject subcutaneously the same peptides as those of the 1st injection at the same dose. Day 45: Final evaluation. The 1st treatment (total 6 times, every weeks) is finished

Outcome(s)

Primary OutcomeEvaluation of immunological responses (anti-peptide IgG) before and after peptide vaccination.
Secondary Outcome1. Evaluation of long-term prognosis (progression free survival and total survival). 2. Adverse effects of peptide vaccination with estramustine / safety of the protocol is evaluated based on the NCI-CTC.
