Custom-Made vaccine targets tumors in Last-Resort patients
NCT ID NCT06963697
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This program offers a personalized vaccine made from each patient's unique cancer mutations (neoantigens) to help their immune system fight solid tumors. It is for patients aged 12 and older with local or metastatic cancer who have no other FDA-approved options and a low chance of 5-year survival. The vaccine is given along with an immune booster called poly-ICLC.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Personalized synthetic long peptide vaccine (neoantigen vaccine) plus poly-ICLC adjuvant
- What this could lead to
- If this vaccine works, it could help control tumor growth by training the immune system to attack cancer cells.
- What could go wrong
- This is an expanded access program, not a formal trial, so results are not systematically collected. The vaccine is personalized and early-stage, so effectiveness is uncertain and side effects may occur.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Patients must satisfy the following criteria to be enrolled in the protocol: Main Inclusion Criterion: 1\. Patient who qualifies for treatment under 21 CFR 312.305 based on treating physician judgment, inability to enroll in study JLF-200, must have received or be ineligible for FDA-approved therapies for their specific cancer type, and an estimated 5-year survival of less than 50%. Other Inclusion Criteria: 1. \>= 12 years of age. 2. ECOG performance status ≤ 2 or Karnofsky score of \>=70. 3. Adequate organ function allowing favorable benefit to risk ratio per the treating physician 4. Systemic corticosteroid therapy is permitted provided dosing is no greater than 4 mg per day (dexamethasone or equivalent) on the day of vaccine administration. 5. Ability to understand and willingness to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of serious adverse reaction to vaccines such as anaphylaxis, hives, or respiratory difficulty or known allergy to a component of the neoantigen synthetic long peptide vaccine. 2. Intercurrent illness requiring chronic use of medications that may interfere with rescue medications for treatment of vaccine-related anaphylaxis or attenuate immune response to vaccine treatment (immunosuppressive therapies). 3. Psychiatric illness or social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. 4. History of pre-existing immunodeficiency disorder or autoimmune condition requiring immunosuppressive therapy that would preclude response to vaccine. 5. Females of childbearing potential may participate provided they agree to practice abstinence; and, if heterosexually active, agree to use at least 2 highly effective contraceptive methods throughout the study and for 3 months following the last dose of study drug; and have a negative serum pregnancy test. 6\. Females of non-childbearing potential must be post-menopausal or have been surgically sterilized. 7\. Male subjects with a female partner of childbearing potential must agree to practice abstinence or to use a physician-approved contraceptive method throughout the study and for 3 months following the last dose of study drug.
