Geneos cancer vaccine shrinks liver tumors in small trial
Quick Glance: Successful Shrinkage of Liver Tumors with Geneos Vaccine
  • In a small, early study, U.S. researchers reported on Sunday that almost a third of patients with advanced liver cancer who received a personalized vaccine from Geneos Therapeutics along with an immunotherapy drug observed a reduction in their tumors.

  • The findings of the preliminary study, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research in San Diego and published in Nature Medicine, indicate that vaccines based on mutations unique to a patient's tumor can enhance the immune system's ability to detect and combat challenging cancers.

  • A cohort of 36 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, the most prevalent form of liver cancer, was enrolled in the study. Nearly a third of the patients treated with the combination therapy (30.1%) experienced tumor shrinkage, with three of them exhibiting a complete response and showing no detectable signs of the tumor after a median follow-up of 21.5 months.

  • In contrast to numerous vaccine candidates utilizing messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, the Geneos treatment is a DNA vaccine that introduces the genetic code of mutated proteins into cells via a small electrical impulse. Each vaccine has the capability to target up to 40 mutated genes.
