Summary

This early-phase trial tested a new vaccine called WDVAX in 23 people with advanced melanoma that had spread. The vaccine is made from each patient's own killed tumor cells, combined with immune-boosting proteins, and formed into a small tablet. The main goals were to see if the vaccine could be made safely and to check how the immune system responded.
