A vaccine consisting of peptides derived from melanoma-associated antigens and a modified T-cell epitope derived from tetanus toxoid. Vaccination with this agent may stimulate a host cytotoxic and helper T-cell response against tumor cells expressing melanoma-associated antigens, resulting in decreased tumor growth. Check for \'https://www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/treatment/clinical-trials/intervention/C2468\' active clinical trials using this agent.
