mTOR Inhibition for Enhancing Cancer Vaccines - Recruiting the immune system to target cancer is attractive. The immune system is capable of recognizing tumor-specific antigens and eradicating diseased cells while sparing normal tissue. We have developed a method for enhancing the activity of cancer vaccines. The method consists of administering a cancer vaccine and an mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) inhibitor such as rapamycin and temsirolimus to an individual. Roswell Park has a current Phase I clinical trial in process using rapamycin to enhance NY-ESO-1 stimulation of isolated dendritic cells re-introduced into cancer patients.
