- Russian scientists developed a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine called Enteromix.
- The vaccine targets specific proteins unique to a patient’s cancer cells.
- Early Phase I trials with 48 colorectal cancer patients showed promising results, with all patients developing an immune response and 60-80% experiencing tumor shrinkage or halted growth.
- The vaccine also showed positive early results in small test groups with glioblastoma and melanoma.
- The Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA) is fast-tracking Enteromix for potential clinical use in Russia.
- Experts caution that Phase I trials are small and focus on safety, not long-term effectiveness.
- More extensive Phase II and III trials are needed to confirm the vaccine’s efficacy across larger groups.
