[Clinical and immunological studies with OK-432 (Streptococcus pyogenes) on immunotherapy in cancer patients]. 1978

M Micksche, and E M Kokoschka, and P Sagaster, and K Kofler

In a phase I study, the bacterial vaccine OK-432 (streptococcus pyogenes) was investigated in eight patients with advanced malignant tumors. Besides a fever reaction after i.v. application no toxic side effects were observed. Additionally, its therapeutic effectiveness could be demonstrated by i.v. and local therapy. There was also observed an increase of lymphocyte blastogenesis response in patients under treatment with OK-432.
