New vaccine combo aims to halt early myeloma

NCT ID NCT02886065

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a cancer vaccine (PVX-410) combined with two drugs (citarinostat and lenalidomide) in 19 people with smoldering multiple myeloma, a pre-cancer condition. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and can trigger an immune response against myeloma cells. Researchers will also monitor changes in blood markers to look for signs of disease control.
