NCT ID NCT02432963

First seen Jan 31, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 18 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tests a vaccine (p53MVA) plus the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab in 11 adults with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to other treatments. The vaccine trains the immune system to target cancer cells with a faulty p53 gene, while pembrolizumab helps immune cells stay active. The main goal is to check safety and tolerability, with secondary goals of measuring tumor shrinkage and immune response.
