New mRNA vaccine combo takes on tough lung cancer in phase 2 trial

NCT ID NCT07221474

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding a personalized mRNA vaccine (V940) to standard pembrolizumab and chemotherapy helps people with newly diagnosed metastatic squamous non-small cell lung cancer live longer and keep the cancer from growing. About 180 participants will receive either the vaccine combo or a placebo with the same standard therapy. The study is currently recruiting.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
V940 (mRNA-4157, intismeran autogene) plus pembrolizumab and chemotherapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a new first-line treatment that helps people with metastatic squamous lung cancer live longer and delay cancer growth.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 180 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The added mRNA vaccine may not improve outcomes over standard chemo-immunotherapy and could cause additional side effects.
