Are there any clinical trials currently using mRNA technologies to fight PC?

Still in the fight 13 years out using SBRT for tumors and Lupron and Xtandi for system wide control currently. Just wondering if there are any trials out there using mRNA technologies to harness the human immune system in the fight. Seems like a logical next step.

Hello,

From what I understand BioNTech and its American partner Pfizer are looking to start clinical trials of their cancer vaccines this year. The first trials are slated for Britain. They are currently deciding which types of cancer they want to test their personalized cancer immunotherapies on and which locations. The company wants their therapy which is based on messenger RNA (mRNA) technology similar to the one that underpins its COVID-19 vaccine to soon become a regular treatment for cancer patients. Sounds encouraging!

Thank you. Will do more digging.

Please let us know what you find. Glad you're tracking it. It's kind of what we're holding out for

We were all holding out for lutecium and that didn't work out so well.

just saw this tweet that shows ‘one size fits all’ decision making should be challenged

With pc being the most common cancer in men in the UK let's hope it makes the list for mRNA clinical trials in Britain.

I have seen a couple of articles that say trials are going to start in the UK this September. UK plan for national mRNA cancer vaccine advance bbc.co.uk/news/health-64176038

There is a thread on this here

I participated in the OVM-200 vaccine phase 1 clinical trial ( three doses) as my cancer is stable I qualified.. This is a different technology but lots going on with vaccines and cancer in the UK
