Open AccessImmunoreactivity to WT1 peptide vaccine is associated with prognosis in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia: follow-up study of randomized phase II trial of OCV-501, an HLA class II-binding WT1 polypeptide
We previously conducted a randomized phase II trial of OCV-501, a WT1 peptide presented by helper T cells, in elderly AML (acute myeloid leukemia) patients in first remission, indicating no difference in 2-yea...

Efficacy and safety of Wilms’ tumor 1 helper peptide OCV-501 in elderly patients with acute myeloid leukemia: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial
Complete remission (CR) of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in elderly patients has a short duration, and there is no suitable post-remission therapy. We explored the role of the Wilms’ tumor 1 helper peptide OCV-...
