First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a personalized vaccine made from a patient's own immune cells, designed to target specific cancer markers (EphA2 and KRAS mutations). The vaccine is given along with chemotherapy and two immunotherapy drugs. The study includes 9 adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The main goals are to check safety and see if the vaccine can boost the immune system's ability to fight the cancer.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

personalized dendritic cell vaccine (KRAS-EphA-2-CAR-DC) combined with chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific genetic markers.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial (9 participants) focused on safety. The treatment may not shrink tumors or improve survival, and side effects like cytokine release syndrome are possible.
