[Clinical studies of long-term administration of OK-432 in patients with gynecologic cancer].
The clinical value of OK-432 treatments, was evaluated in 215 patients with various types of gynecologic cancer. Five KE OK-432 was administrated by intramuscular injection every other day for up to 5 years, unless severe side-effects were observed. The 5-year survival rate was determined in 51 patients in the OK-432 group and 93 patients in the control group. The survival rate in the OK-432 group was significantly higher in the cervical cancer patients in stages III and IV than in the control group, at from 20 to 29 months and from 37 to 42 months. These results indicated that long period administration of OK-432 might improve the survival rate in patients with gynecologic cancer, especially in those with advanced cervical cancer.

Studies of natural killer activity and augmentation by OK-432 in patients with gynecological malignancies.
The natural killer (NK) and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxic (ADCC) activities were determined in peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with gynecologic malignancy. The effects of a preparation of Streptococcus pyogenes (OK-432) and of interferon were determined. Patients with advanced cancer exhibited lower natural cytotoxicity than normal women. NK and ADCC activities were decreased following surgery and NK activity was decreased following chemotherapy. Radiation reduced the percentage of Leu-7-positive cells in the circulation of the patients. OK-432 augmented the NK activity of both healthy women and patients with early malignancy. Interferon was less effective than OK-432 in augmenting NK activity.
