Early vaccine trial aims to stop Cancer's return

NCT ID NCT03821272

Summary

This early-stage study tested whether a new vaccine called PepCan could safely prevent head and neck cancer from returning in patients who had recently finished treatment and were in remission. Seventeen participants received either the vaccine or a placebo injection over two years to see if it reduced cancer recurrence. Researchers also checked for immune system responses and changes in gut bacteria.
