- Thesis : Mannan+MUC1* will generate tumourdestroying immune response in ovarian cancer
Evidence Progression-Free Survival: Nov. 2014, 8 month advantage for second remission patients (CAN-003 study, n=20, treatment 12.9 months, control 4.9 months, p=0.04)
- Evidence Overall Survival: May 2015, at least 16 month advantage (CAN-003 second remission treatment median not reached at 42 months, control median 25.5 months, p=0.07)
- Mannan is a sugar taken up by Antigen Presenting Cells, the orchestrators of the immune system. MUC1 is a protein overexpressed on many cancer cells.
