Experimental RNA vaccine takes on advanced lung cancer

NCT ID NCT07561723

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

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing a new RNA vaccine called IMP3-saRNA (YMN-136) in 9 people with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who have run out of standard options. The vaccine aims to train the immune system to attack cancer cells that carry a specific marker (IMP3). The main goal is to check safety, but researchers will also look for signs that the vaccine shrinks tumors.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

IMP3-saRNA (YMN-136) vaccine

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced lung cancer that uses the immune system to fight tumors.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial with only 9 people, so it may not show clear benefit. The vaccine could cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
