Vaccine-Immunotherapy combo tested in Tough-to-Treat lung cancer

NCT ID NCT02823990

Summary

This study tested whether combining a cancer vaccine (TG4010) with an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) could help control advanced non-small cell lung cancer in patients whose previous treatments had stopped working. The vaccine aims to train the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells, while the immunotherapy drug helps remove barriers that prevent immune cells from fighting the cancer. Researchers enrolled 13 patients to see if this combination was safe and could shrink tumors or slow disease progression.
