New cancer vaccine Modi-1 enters human trials for four tumor types

NCT ID NCT05329532

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a new vaccine called Modi-1, designed to train the immune system to attack cancer cells. It is given as a tiny shot into the skin using a special microneedle device. The trial includes 168 people with advanced triple-negative breast cancer, head and neck cancer, ovarian cancer, or kidney cancer. Some participants will receive the vaccine alone, and others will get it together with standard immune-boosting drugs like pembrolizumab or nivolumab. The main goals are to check safety and see if the vaccine triggers an immune response against 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

Modi-1 moditope vaccine (given with a microneedle device, sometimes combined with pembrolizumab or nivolumab)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new vaccine-based treatment that helps the immune system fight several types of advanced cancer.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 1/2 trial, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The vaccine may not work for all cancer types, and side effects are still being studied.
