CLAUDE Trial Summary

This trialwill test a vaccine and an immunotherapy drug to see if they can reduce colorectal cancer after standard treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with colorectal cancer who've had surgery and standard therapy, but still have tiny amounts of cancer DNA in their blood. They must be HLA-A2 positive, not pregnant, willing to use contraception, and able to follow the study plan. People can't join if they're on certain medications or treatments, have unresolved side effects from past therapies (except minor ones like hair loss), are pregnant or breastfeeding, have HIV/HBV/HCV infections, serious heart or other health issues that could affect safety or results.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a new vaccine called EO2040 combined with an existing drug named Nivolumab in patients whose blood tests show minimal residual disease of colorectal cancer after standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination helps prevent the cancer from coming back.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects aren't specified here but based on similar treatments may include immune-related reactions affecting organs, fatigue, skin rash, digestive problems like diarrhea or colitis; liver inflammation; hormonal gland issues; infusion reactions; and increased risk of infection.
