Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

Tests treatment safety and results for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

Official title A Clinical Study on the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Neoantigen-based Personalized mRNA Therapy iNeo-Vac-R01 Plus PD-1 Inhibitor in Adjuvant Treatment of Liver Cancer Post Radical Resection

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07495215

What this study is testing

What is iNeo-Vac-R01?

iNeo-Vac-R01 is an investigational medicine, given as an injectable medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc).

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
iNeo-Vac-R01, a personalized neoantigen-based mRNA therapeutic technology for tumors, is a customized neoantigen mRNA injectable formulation developed by collecting patients' tumor tissues and peripheral blood, screening appropriate neoantigens via high-throughput sequencing, and encapsulating these neoantigens into mRNA liposomes. It can precisely induce the proliferation of patient-specific T cells to eliminate tumor cells.
