It can be specifically administered to patients based on the neoantigen mutations unique to each patient’s tumour.
The trial has enrolled its first patient at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and is expected to include a total of 90 patients from ten sites across the US.
During the trial, the patients will undergo an initial biopsy and be administered with a vaccine suited to each patient’s tumour.
