Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A peptide cancer vaccine comprised of a peptide derived from the human melanoma antigen A3 (MAGE-A3), with potential immunostimulating and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, MAGE-A3 peptide vaccine may stimulate the immune system to mount a cytotoxic T-cell (CTL) response against tumor cells expressing MAGE-A3, resulting in tumor cell lysis. MAGE-A3, a tumor-associated antigen (TAA), is overexpressed by a variety of cancer cell types.

Mage-a3 peptide vaccine has been investigated in 1 clinical trial, of which 1 is open and 0 are closed. Of the trial investigating mage-a3 peptide vaccine, 1 is phase 2 (1 open).

HLA-A*02 Positive is the most frequent biomarker inclusion criterion for mage-a3 peptide vaccine clinical trials.

Oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma is the most common disease being investigated in mage-a3 peptide vaccine clinical trials [2].
