Mutant KRAS -Targeted Long Peptide Vaccine for Patients at High Risk of Developing Pancreatic Cancer

Investigational Vaccine Study for High-Risk Pancreatic Cancer Patients

Recruiting
40 years and older
All
Phase 1

This study investigates a vaccine for individuals at high risk of developing pancreatic cancer. It will focus on the effects of a mutant-KRAS peptide vaccine combined with an adjuvant called poly-ICLC.

The study evaluates the vaccine's safety and how it affects the immune system. Researchers will look at changes in specific immune cells after vaccination.

  • Who can participate: Adults who are at high risk for pancreatic cancer, based on family history or genetic mutations, may be eligible. Participants must have a pancreatic abnormality and meet other health criteria.
  • Study details: Participants will receive a vaccine and may have follow-up visits. A placebo, which looks like the vaccine but contains no medicine, may be used for comparison.

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
