Study Summary

This trial studies a cancer vaccine to help prevent recurrence. It will evaluate safety, effectiveness, and dosage.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've had surgery or other curative treatments for certain solid cancers (like colorectal, breast, lung cancer, etc.) and are now in a surveillance period with no evidence of disease. They must be able to provide tissue samples, have an ECOG status of 0-2, and agree to use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests YE-NEO-001, a personalized neoepitope yeast-based vaccine designed to trigger T-cell responses against cancer. It's given after standard treatment when patients are monitoring for recurrence. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if it helps prevent cancer from coming back.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a phase 1 trial primarily focused on safety and dosage levels, specific side effects aren't listed but may include typical immune-related reactions such as inflammation or flu-like symptoms due to the activation of the body's immune system.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there still vacancies for enrolment in this research study?

"According to clinicaltrials.gov, this medication study is no longer recruiting participants. It was initially listed on August 10th 2018 and the last update occured April 9th 2019; however, there are presently 4012 other trials actively enrolling patients."

Answered by AI

Has the Experimental: NANT Neoepitope Yeast Vaccine (YE-NEO-001) been granted regulatory approval by the FDA?

"Our experts at Power have evaluated Experimental: NANT Neoepitope Yeast Vaccine (YE-NEO-001) as a 1 on the safety scale, given it is still in Phase 1 and has limited support for both efficacy and protection."

Answered by AI

What is the purpose of this experiment?

"This clinical trial, which spans around 19 months, will primarily be assessing the rate of treatment-related side effects. Secondary objectives include Disease-free Survival (DFS), Overall Survival (OS), and Progression-Free Survival (PFS). These metrics are defined as respectively: The time from YE-NEO_001 treatment to disease recurrence or death; time from YE-NEO_001 treatment until death; and the interval between drug administration and progression/death."
