James L. Gulley is an American cancer researcher and the Director of the Medical Oncology Service at National Cancer Institute. ^[1]

Early life and education

He graduated from Loma Linda University, California ^[2] and his M.D./Ph.D. Medical Scientist Training Program, at National Institutes of Health (NIH) and his dissertation on tumor immunology. ^[3] Later, Gulley did his residency in internal medicine at Emory University in 1998, followed by a medical oncology fellowship at the NCI. ^[4]

Research and career

Gulley did his research in immunotherapy for prostate cancer. His studies involved the use of cancer vaccine ^[5] and immune checkpoint inhibitors or other strategies to enhance vaccine-mediated killing. ^[6] Since 1999, he ran clinical trials at the NCI, ^[7] serving as Principal Investigator or an Associate Investigator on approximately 40 trials. He is also running studies on cancer patients. ^{[8] [9] [10]}

Publications

He published over 250 research papers & book chapters across leading journals. ^{[11] [12]} Some of his notable publications are listed below:

• Overall survival analysis of a phase II randomized controlled trial of a Poxviral-based PSA-targeted immunotherapy in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer ^[13]
• Androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer ^[14]
• Randomized phase II trial of docetaxel plus thalidomide in androgen-independent prostate cancer ^[15]
• Combining a recombinant cancer vaccine with standard definitive radiotherapy in patients with localized prostate cancer ^[16]
• Phase I study of sequential vaccinations with fowlpox-CEA (6D)-TRICOM alone and sequentially with vaccinia-CEA (6D)-TRICOM ^[17]
• A randomized phase II study of concurrent docetaxel plus vaccine versus vaccine alone in metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer. ^[18]
• Immunologic and prognostic factors associated with overall survival employing a poxviral-based PSA vaccine in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer ^[19]
• Ipilimumab and a poxviral vaccine targeting prostate-specific antigen in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: a phase 1 dose-escalation trial ^[20]

FDA approval

At the 2010 ASCO meeting Gulley and his group reported on the use of Ipilimumab with a vector-based vaccine for treating advanced prostate cancer. This phase I trial using PSA-TRICOM with Ipilimumab (Ipi) showed promise for Overall Survival (OS). ^[21] Ipi is used in melanoma vaccine clinical trials. ^[22] It was approved by the FDA in March 2011. ^{[23] [24] [25] [26]}

Awards

• He received Presidential Early Career Award for Science and Engineering “For randomized, controlled studies using novel, recombinant vaccines to reduce the progression of prostate and other cancers and increase survival.” ^{[27] [28]}
• He received Federal Laboratory Consortium Excellence in Federal Technology Transfer Award, a national award for “Development of first immunotherapy to treat chordoma, a rare bone cancer.” ^[29]
