RECRUITINGIncidence of treatment-related adverse events
The safety of administering the ALK peptide vaccine will be assessed by the occurrence of the following adverse events: * Grade 3 or above drug-related toxicities * Drug-related toxicity by grade * Vaccine site reactions after vaccine injections * Immune-related adverse events (AEs) * Unacceptable toxicities * Treatment-emergent changes from normal to abnormal values in key laboratory parameters
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Vaccine-specific immune response
Vaccine-specific response will be evaluated by the fold change in interferon-producing mutant-ALK-specific CD8 and CD4 T cells in the peripheral blood.
Time frame: Up to 2 years
