New vaccine combo aims to stop pancreatic cancer return after surgery
NCT ID NCT06353646
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a personalized cancer vaccine (XH001) given after surgery for pancreatic cancer, followed by immunotherapy drugs (ipilimumab, sintilimab) and chemotherapy (gemcitabine + capecitabine). The goal is to see if this combination can prevent the cancer from coming back. The trial will enroll 28 adults who have had their tumor completely or nearly completely removed and have not had prior treatment. Researchers will track how long patients stay cancer-free and monitor side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- XH001 (neoantigen cancer vaccine), ipilimumab, sintilimab, gemcitabine, capecitabine
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this combination could help prevent pancreatic cancer from coming back after surgery, potentially extending survival.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early-phase trial with only 28 people, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment involves multiple drugs with significant side effects, and the vaccine is experimental.
