Purpose

To examine the safety and efficacy of telomerase peptide vaccination ( stimulation of the immune system) in patients with NSCLC after having been treated with conventional therapy with radiotherapy and docetaxel as a radiosensitizer.

Primary Outcome Measures:

To examine if combined chemoradiotherapy in patients with NSCLC followed by vaccination( immunotherapy) will increase the immunological response compared to previous experience

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Number of T cell responders and DTH responders, time to progression of disease

Estimated Enrollment:	20
Study Start Date:	November 2006
Estimated Study Completion Date:	March 2009

Detailed Description:

Survival in patients with locally advanced, inoperable NSCLC may be improved if local control can be achieved with concurrent chemo radiotherapy .After completed standard chemo-and radiation therapy; the safety and efficacy of vaccination therapy will be measured as time to progression after treatment with GV1001. Analysis of changes in T-cell subpopulations and cytokines in peripheral blood will be performed.
