First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a DNA-based vaccine (INO-5401 and INO-9012) combined with an immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab) plus standard radiation and chemotherapy in 52 people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer. The goal was to see if the combination is safe and helps the immune system fight the tumor. Participants had to be in relatively good health and on low doses of steroids.
