Summary

This early-stage study aimed to test a new mRNA vaccine (CVHNLC) combined with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab in people with advanced squamous non-small-cell lung cancer. The trial was designed to find a safe dose and see if the combination could shrink tumors. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
