Custom cancer vaccine aims to stop myeloma before it starts

NCT ID NCT03631043

Summary

This early-stage study tested a personalized vaccine designed to prevent smoldering multiple myeloma from turning into active cancer. Doctors created a custom vaccine from each patient's own blood and bone marrow cells to train their immune system to attack cancer cells. The main goals were to see if making this vaccine was possible and to check its safety in 30 patients at high risk of their condition worsening.
