Experimental vaccine targets Hard-to-Treat colorectal cancer

NCT ID NCT07510308

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing a new vaccine made from genetically modified tumor cells in 9 adults with advanced pMMR colorectal cancer who have run out of standard options. The vaccine is given as a series of injections to see if it is safe and can stimulate the immune system to fight the cancer. The main goal is to check for side effects, with a secondary look at whether tumors shrink.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

MSH2-/- tumor cell vaccine

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for advanced colorectal cancer that has not responded to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 9 participants, so it is primarily testing safety, not effectiveness. The vaccine may not shrink tumors or improve survival.
