Overview

AG-858 is a personalized therapeutic cancer vaccine developed using heat shock protein technology. It is designed to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), particularly in patients who remain cytogenetically positive after treatment with imatinib (Gleevec). The vaccine consists of autologous heat shock protein-peptide complexes (HSPPC-70) derived from the patient's own tumor cells. These complexes are intended to stimulate the immune system—specifically cytotoxic T lymphocytes—to recognize and attack cancer cells while minimizing side effects commonly associated with conventional therapies. The primary mechanism involves inhibition of HSP70 heat-shock proteins, which play a role in tumor cell survival and immune evasion[1][2][5][7].
