First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tested a vaccine called CIMAvax-EGF in 20 people at high risk for lung cancer or survivors at risk of recurrence. The vaccine works by helping the body make antibodies against a protein (EGF) that can fuel cancer growth. Researchers measured immune response, side effects, and molecular changes to see if the vaccine might prevent lung cancer from developing or returning.
