Study Summary

This trial is testing a vaccine that produces the full length human HER3 protein to target cancers that express the human epidermal growth factor receptor HER3. The objectives of the study are to determine the safety and tolerability of the vaccine and to see if it can cause a HER3 specific immune response in patients.

Who is the study for?
Adults who've had surgery for solid tumors like breast, lung, or prostate cancer and finished their standard treatments can join. They should be in good physical shape (ECOG 0 or 1), have a life expectancy over 3 months, and normal organ function. Women must not be pregnant and use birth control. People with autoimmune diseases, active infections, brain metastases, or recent other cancers aren't eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing pING-hHER3FL—a DNA-based vaccine targeting HER3 protein on cancer cells—given as an injection every four weeks for three doses. It aims to see if it's safe and can trigger the immune system to fight cancer expressing the HER3 protein.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
As this is an investigational vaccine, potential side effects are being studied but may include typical vaccine reactions such as pain at the injection site, fatigue, feverish feelings or chills.
