706Background: OCV-C02 is a peptide vaccine consisting of 2 peptide epitopes derived from ring finger protein 43 and translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 34. In colorectal cancer (CRC), they are upregulated in approximately 80% of tumor tissues. This study was conducted to assess safety, preliminary efficacy and immunological responses to OCV-C02. Methods: Key eligibility criteria for this open label, sequential cohort, dose escalation study were patients (pts) with unresectable metastatic CRC (mCRC) refractory to all standard chemotherapies and HLA-A*24:02. Pts in cohorts 1 to 4 received OCV-C02 0.3, 1, 3 and 6 mg/body respectively, subcutaneously, on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of the 28-day treatment cycle. Cycle was repeated in pts without progressive disease, until occurrence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Primary endpoint was dose limiting toxicity (DLT) that was defined as treatment-related ≥ grade 3 or 4 hematological or ≥ grade 3 non-hematological adverse events (AEs) observed f...
