Personalized vaccine shows promise against deadly skin cancer

NCT ID NCT03815058

Summary

This study tested whether adding a personalized cancer vaccine (autogene cevumeran) to standard immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) works better than immunotherapy alone for people with advanced melanoma that hasn't been treated before. The trial involved 131 patients with advanced skin cancer who received either the combination treatment or just the standard immunotherapy. Researchers measured how long patients lived without their cancer getting worse, how many responded to treatment, and monitored side effects.
