CPG 7909

Vaxjo ID 284       
Vaccine Adjuvant Name CPG 7909       
Adjuvant VO ID VO_0005772
Description CPG 7909 (lefitolimod/MGN1703) is a dumbbell-shaped DNA molecule that activates Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) in plasmacytoid dendritic cells and B cells, inducing immune responses.       
Stage of Development Clinical Trial       
Host Species for Testing Human       
Components A Pilot Study of NY-ESO-1b Peptide Plus CpG 7909 and Montanide® ISA-51 in Patients With Cancer.       
Structure Dumbbell-shaped DNA molecule triggering TLR9 signaling       
Preparation Administered subcutaneously (s.c.) at 120 mg weekly for 8 weeks       
Dosage 120 mg s.c. once per week, in combination or alone during trial.       
Function Impact of a TLR9 agonist and broadly neutralizing antibodies on HIV-1 persistence: the randomized phase 2a TITAN trial       
Safety Generally safe. Most adverse events were mild (injection site reactions, fatigue). One severe event resolved without complications
