Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 75 with advanced lung cancer or solid tumors with lung metastasis that have not responded to standard treatments.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage lung cancer or those who have not yet undergone standard treatment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This trial evaluates BMD006, an inhaled mRNA tumor-associated antigen dry powder vaccine designed for patients with advanced lung cancer and solid tumors that have metastasized to the lungs. It is a single-center, open-label, dose-escalation study that aims to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of the vaccine, both as a standalone treatment and in combination with PD-1 antibody therapy. Participants will receive varying doses of the vaccine and will be monitored for adverse effects and treatment response over a specified period.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a novel therapeutic option for patients with advanced lung cancer and lung metastasis who have exhausted standard treatment options.
How similar studies have gone: While the approach of using inhaled mRNA vaccines is innovative, similar studies have shown promise in other cancer types, suggesting potential for success in this context.

Patients must not plan to conceive, donate sperm, or donate eggs during this period Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with lung cancer who have concurrent other types of malignant tumors or are diagnosed with multiple primary malignancies, except for the following: completely resected basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, completely resected any type of carcinoma in situ. * Symptomatic central nervous system metastasis; for patients with asymptomatic brain metastasis or those whose symptoms have been stable for ≥2 weeks after treatment of brain metastasis, they may participate in this study if they meet all the following criteria: measurable lesions in the lungs; cessation of steroid treatment 14 days prior to the first trial product dose. * Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or allergies to pollen or dust. * Patients suspected of having active or latent tuberculosis infection, based on interferon-γ release assay results, clinical symptoms, and/or chest imaging findings (patients with evidence of adequately treated prior active tuberculosis infection may be enrolled after assessment by the investigator; for latent tuberculosis, patients must have completed at least 4 weeks of anti-tuberculosis treatment, with no liver function impairment \[ALT ≤3×ULN, AST ≤3×ULN\], and after the investigator assesses that the risk is manageable, they may be considered for continued screening or enrollment). * History of interstitial lung disease (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or organizing pneumonia), or active, non-infectious pneumonia requiring immunosuppressive treatment such as corticosteroids. * Patients with active autoimmune diseases requiring therapeutic intervention. * History of serious bleeding disorders; or those with coagulation dysfunction (as indicated by laboratory tests or medical history) who are deemed by the investigator to be unsuitable for the trial treatment. * History or current diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, including any of the following: a) Recent myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) within the past 6 months; b) Uncontrolled congestive heart failure; c) Unstable angina (within the past 6 months); d) Clinically significant (symptomatic) arrhythmias (e.g., sustained ventricular tachycardia, clinically significant second- or third-degree atrioventricular block without a pacemaker). * Clinically uncontrolled third-space fluid accumulation (e.g., pleural effusion/pericardial effusion; patients with effusions that do not require drainage or those whose effusions have not increased significantly after stopping drainage for 3 days may be included). * Severe infection requiring intravenous antibiotic treatment or hospitalization at screening, or any uncontrolled active infection within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the trial product. * History of severe allergic reactions, or known allergy to any active or inactive component of BMD006 or PD-1 inhibitors. * Any other metabolic, hematological, renal, hepatic, pulmonary, neurological, endocrine, cardiac, or gastrointestinal disease that, in the investigator's opinion, may present unacceptable risks to the patient during treatment. * Presence of unresolved toxicity from prior anti-tumor treatments before the first dose of the study product, which has not recovered to Grade 0 or 1 (excluding alopecia) (severity assessed according to NCI CTCAE v5.0). * Positive test results for hepatitis B at screening \[defined as: ① Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive; ② HBsAg negative but hepatitis B core antibody (HbcAb) positive (further testing through hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid \[HBV DNA\] is required, and patients with HBV DNA levels exceeding the normal limit for the test method must be excluded)\], positive hepatitis C antibody (HCV Ab) \[further testing through hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) is required, and patients with HCV RNA levels exceeding the normal limit for the test method must be excluded\], or positive human immunodeficiency virus antibody (HIV Ab). * Underwent major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of the trial product (cranial, thoracic, or abdominal surgery) or has an unresolved wound, ulcer, or fracture. Note: Thoracoscopic surgery and mediastinoscopy will not be considered major surgery.
