“…[9][10][11] Multiple clinical trials in men with this gene therapeutic approach have revealed necrosis within prostate cancer lesions in preference to adjacent normal prostatic tissues, 12 increased immune cells 12,13 and, when combined with radiation, an increase in the frequency of biopsies without evidence of cancer. 14 Additional studies have confirmed that intraprostatic adenoviral vector-mediated HSV-tk followed by systemic GCV treatment leads to increased numbers of HLA DR þ CD8 þ T cells in the peripheral blood of treated men. 13,15 We have also tested another active vaccine approach involving the immunomodulatory gene IL-12.…”
