NCT ID NCT02134925
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 30 times
Summary
This study tests a vaccine designed to help the immune system target and destroy abnormal colon growths called advanced adenomas, which can turn into cancer. About 110 people who recently had these high-risk polyps removed will receive either the MUC1 vaccine or a placebo. The goal is to see if the vaccine triggers an immune response and lowers the chance of polyps coming back, potentially preventing colorectal cancer.
