Overview

This is an investigational combination immunotherapy consisting of recombinant interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and the MELITAC 12.1 peptide vaccine, developed by Craig L. Slingluff Jr. at the University of Virginia. The therapy is designed for patients with melanoma, specifically those with cutaneous or subcutaneous metastases. Interferon gamma is administered intratumorally to activate the immune microenvironment and induce chemokines like CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11, which facilitate T-cell recruitment. The MELITAC 12.1 component is a multipeptide vaccine containing 12 class I MHC-restricted melanoma peptides and a tetanus helper peptide, emulsified in Montanide ISA-51 adjuvant, intended to stimulate a systemic anti-tumor T-cell response.
