New RNA vaccine aims to stop breast cancer return
NCT ID NCT07652242
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests an investigational cancer vaccine called ITI-5000 in 60 people with stage II-III triple-negative breast cancer who have finished standard treatment. The vaccine uses self-amplifying RNA to teach the immune system to attack cancer cells. The study first finds a safe dose of the vaccine alone, then tests it combined with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ITI-5000 (self-amplifying RNA vaccine) and pembrolizumab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option to prevent triple-negative breast cancer from coming back after standard therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 60 participants, so it is too soon to know if the vaccine works. There may be side effects from the vaccine or the combination with pembrolizumab.
