Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of pseudomonas aeruginosa MSHA vaccine (PA-MSHA vaccine) used as an immune modulator. The study was carried out after the design of a non-blind, randomized controlled trial. The malignant lymphoma patients were divided into experiment group (45 cases) and control group (43 cases). Likewise were distributed the lung cancer patients: 44 cases in experiment group and 45 cases in control group. The two experiment groups received chemotherapy + PA-MSHA vaccine. The two control groups were given chemotherapy alone. The results showed that the clinical efficacy rate was 95.56% for the exp. group and 69.77% (P < 0.01) for the control group of the malignant lymphoma cases; the clinical efficacy rate was 59.09% for the exp. group and 42.22% (P < 0.01) for the control group of the lung cancer cases. The infection rate was 17.78% for the exp. group and 37.21% (P < 0.05) for the control group of the malignant lymphoma cases; the infection rate was 15.91% for the exp. group and 40.00% (P < 0.05) for the control group of the lung cancer cases. The comprehensive immune effectiveness rates for the exp. group and control group of the malignant lymphoma cases were 77.78% and 23.26% (P < 0.01) respectively. The comprehensive immune effectiveness rates for the exp. group and control group of the lung cancer cases were 84.09% and 35.56% (P < 0.01) respectively. Adverse reactions were found in 5 cases, of which, one was given medical care while the others automatically recovered. These results indicate that PA-MSHA vaccine, as a new kind of immune modulator, can improve the effectiveness of treatment for tumor with low adverse reaction rate.
