Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 75 with advanced digestive system neoplasms who have previously received standard first-line treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with early-stage digestive system neoplasms or those who have not undergone prior standard treatment may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical study evaluates the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of a personalized mRNA vaccine called iNeo-Vac-R01 when combined with standard first-line treatment for patients with advanced digestive system neoplasms. It is a single-center, open-label, single-arm study that aims to determine how well this innovative vaccine works alongside existing therapies. Participants will receive the vaccine after undergoing at least four cycles of standard treatment, and their responses will be monitored to assess the overall effectiveness of the combination approach.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a new personalized treatment option that enhances the effectiveness of existing therapies for patients with advanced digestive system cancers.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies involving personalized mRNA vaccines have shown promise, indicating potential for success in this novel approach.
