Study Summary

This trial is testing a vaccine to prevent lung cancer in patients who are at high risk for the disease or in stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer survivors to see if it is effective and has minimal side effects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for high-risk individuals or stage IB-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer survivors without current evidence of cancer. Participants must have a good performance status, agree to contraception if applicable, and not be pregnant. High-risk factors include moderate/severe COPD, family history of lung cancer, low BMI, pneumonia in the last 5 years, exposure to certain substances like asbestos or radon, recent smoking history with significant pack-years.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The CIMAvax-EGF vaccine is being tested for its ability to prevent the development or recurrence of lung cancer by targeting a protein (EGFR) linked to tumor growth. The study includes questionnaires and quality-of-life assessments alongside the vaccine administration.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, vaccines like CIMAvax-EGF could potentially cause reactions at the injection site, flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills, fatigue or allergic responses.
