New mRNA vaccine trial targets Virus-Linked cancers
NCT ID NCT07349836
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests an mRNA immunotherapy for people with tumors linked to the Epstein-Barr virus, such as nasopharyngeal cancer, gastric cancer, and lymphoma. The treatment aims to help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. Researchers will check safety and whether the drug shrinks tumors or slows disease growth, both alone and combined with standard immune-boosting drugs.

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years old; * 2\. Diagnosed with EBV related diseases through histology or cytology, including but not limited to nasopharyngeal carcinoma, gastric cancer, lymphoma, EBV disease after HSCT etc; * 3\. ECOG physical condition score: 0-2 points; * 4\. Expected survival period ≥ 3 months; * 5\. The main organ functions well, that is, the relevant examination indicators meet the requirements; * 6\. The subject has no pregnancy plan during the treatment period and agrees to voluntarily take effective contraceptive measures during the trial period and within 4 months of stopping treatment, and the pregnancy of women of childbearing age is negative; * 7\. Able to understand and voluntarily sign a written informed consent form before the experiment; * 8\. Able to communicate well with researchers and complete experiments according to the protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * 1\. The patient has a history of other tumors in the past, except for the cured skin basal cell carcinoma, skin squamous cell carcinoma, superficial bladder cancer, cervical carcinoma in situ, gastrointestinal intramucosal carcinoma and other malignant tumors that the researchers think can be included; * 2\. Central nervous system (CNS) tumors or CNS metastases; * 3\. Chest fluid, ascites, and pericardial effusion that require drainage due to clinical symptoms; Hepatic encephalopathy, hepatorenal syndrome, or Child Pugh B or more severe cirrhosis; * 4\. Known to have invasive NK cell leukemia or NK lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma; Or accompanied by hemophilic cell syndrome; * 5\. There are any uncontrollable clinical or mental illnesses or other major illnesses that, according to the researcher's assessment, may hinder the provision of informed consent, interfere with the interpretation of the trial results, pose risks to the subjects participating in this trial, or otherwise affect the achievement of the trial objectives; * 6\. Allergic to the experimental drug (including any excipients). Previous history of severe allergies to any medication, food, or vaccine, such as anaphylactic shock, allergic laryngeal edema, allergic dyspnea, allergic purpura, thrombocytopenic purpura, local allergic necrosis reaction (Arthus reaction), etc; * 7\. The most recent anti-tumor treatment (radiotherapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, or local regional therapy) is less than 4 weeks after the first dose or within 5 half lives of the drug (whichever is shorter), or palliative radiotherapy is less than 2 weeks after the first dose; Patients with adverse reactions related to anti-tumor therapy (excluding hair loss) that have not recovered to NCI CTCAE ≤ 1 or inclusion criteria after previous anti-tumor therapy; * 8\. Subjects who receive systemic therapy with corticosteroids (\>10 mg/day of prednisone or equivalent doses of other corticosteroids) or other immunosuppressive agents within 14 days prior to their first administration. In the absence of active autoimmune diseases, inhalation or topical use of steroids and adrenal hormone replacement with a dose ≤ 10 mg/day of prednisone efficacy dose is allowed; * 9\. Within 6 months prior to the first administration, have received mRNA vaccines or lipid nanoparticles (LNP) equivalent nanoparticles for drug delivery; * 10\. Having undergone major surgery within the 4 weeks prior to screening (excluding minor surgeries such as catheter insertion or biopsy surgery as required by the protocol), or the impact of surgery or trauma has been eliminated for less than 14 days prior to enrollment; * 11\. Have a history of drug abuse or known medical, psychological, or social conditions, such as a history of alcohol or drug abuse; * 12\. Known active infections such as hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), syphilis, etc.: * 13\. The researchers believe that there are any other factors that are not suitable for the subjects to enter this trial.
