NCT ID NCT01983748
First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated Apr 21, 2026 · Updated 11 times
Summary
This study tested whether a personalized vaccine could prevent cancer from returning in patients with a high-risk form of eye melanoma. After having their tumor surgically removed, 200 patients either received a vaccine made from their own tumor cells and immune cells over two years, or were simply monitored. The goal was to see if the vaccine could help the body's immune system recognize and destroy any remaining cancer cells to keep patients cancer-free longer.
