Cancer vaccine trial for brain tumors pulled before it started

NCT ID NCT07199413

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This was a small, early-phase study designed to test the safety and feasibility of a cancer vaccine (SV-BR-1-GM) combined with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in patients with solid tumors that had spread to the brain or spinal cord lining. The trial planned to enroll adults whose brain metastases had worsened despite standard treatment. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

SV-BR-1-GM vaccine (a whole-cell vaccine that secretes GM-CSF), cyclophosphamide, pembrolizumab (Keytruda), and interferon (Sylatron)

What this could lead to

If it had worked, this could point toward a new way to treat brain metastases from solid tumors by using the immune system to attack cancer cells in the central nervous system.

What could go wrong

This trial was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no data on safety or effectiveness exist. The combination of multiple drugs also raises the risk of serious side effects.
