Early trial tests vaccine to turn immune system against rare cancers

NCT ID NCT03879694

Summary

This early-stage study tested the safety of an experimental cancer vaccine called SurVaxM in 19 patients with advanced neuroendocrine tumors that had spread. The vaccine aims to teach the body's immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells by targeting a specific protein they produce. Researchers monitored patients for side effects and checked if the treatment triggered an immune response against their tumors.
