Personalized vaccine boosts immunotherapy in lung cancer trial
NCT ID NCT05886439
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a personalized vaccine called LK101, made from a patient's own tumor markers, combined with standard immunotherapy drugs (pembrolizumab, durvalumab, or tislelizumab) in 60 adults with advanced lung cancer. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and can help control the cancer when previous treatments have stopped working. Participants receive the vaccine as a series of shots plus regular immunotherapy infusions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LK101 (personalized cancer vaccine) combined with pembrolizumab, durvalumab, or tislelizumab (immunotherapy drugs)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for people with advanced lung cancer that has stopped responding to standard immunotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The vaccine is personalized, which makes it complex and costly, and side effects from combining treatments are unknown.
