ETAPA I Trial Summary
This trial will test a new vaccine for brain cancer.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with a specific type of brain tumor called WHO grade IV malignant glioma that hasn't been treated yet. They must have had surgery to remove the tumor, be HLA A*0201 positive, and not pregnant or breastfeeding. Participants need good blood counts and organ function, and agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new vaccine made from peptides linked to proteins found in tumors (P30-EPS) for patients with a certain genetic makeup. It's an early-phase study to see if this vaccine can help treat brain tumors without previous treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed here but may include typical reactions related to vaccines such as soreness at the injection site, fever, fatigue, allergic reactions or autoimmune responses due to immune system activation.
