A personalized cancer vaccine developed by Dr. Thomas Wagner, founder of Orbis Health Solutions, has shown promising results in Phase 2 clinical trials and is now set to enter a Phase 3 trial. The vaccine, called mRNA-4157/V940, is designed to stimulate an immune response by generating specific T cell responses and is being developed in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab), an immunotherapy that works by increasing the ability of the body’s immune system to fight cancer.
Cancer Vaccine Phase 2 Clinical Trial Results
In Phase 2 clinical trials, nearly 95% of patients given only the vaccine were still alive three years after starting treatment, and 64% were still disease-free. Among the most advanced forms of melanoma, disease-free survival after three years for people with stage III disease was 60% in the vaccine-only group, compared to about 39% in the placebo group. Disease-free survival for those with stage IV disease was about 68% in the vaccine-only group, and zero in the placebo group.

Cancer Vaccine Phase 3 Clinical Trial and Basket Trial
The FDA has greenlit the vaccine to start a Phase 3 clinical trial, which will be a three-year endeavor with a goal to enroll 500 people. The trial is planned to launch sometime this year[1]. Additionally, a “basket trial” has been initiated, allowing the same vaccine that showed success in the melanoma clinical trials to be tested in anyone with a solid tumor who meets certain inclusion criteria.
Potential Cancer Vaccine Benefits and Challenges
The personalized approach of the vaccine and its minimal side effects offer hope for a future where cancer treatment is not only more effective but also gentler on the patients. However, the success of the vaccine in Phase 3 trials and its broader use in treating various types of cancer will require further trials and millions of dollars in funding.
A New Hope in Cancer Treatment
The TLPO vaccine’s personalized approach and minimal side effects offer hope for a future where cancer treatment is not only more effective but also gentler on the patients. The vaccine has the potential to change the landscape of cancer treatment, offering a new, effective approach for patients worldwide.
Conclusion
The development of personalized cancer vaccines and treatments, such as mRNA-4157/V940, holds great potential for improving recurrence-free survival rates and enhancing the safety profile for patients. As the vaccine moves closer to Phase 3 clinical trials and broader use, it could pave the way for a more personalized and effective approach to cancer treatment.
