YMN107

Advanced solid tumors remain a major therapeutic challenge due to their complex heterogeneity and the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Although cancer vaccines are designed to induce long-lasting antitumor immunity, their efficacy is often limited by the TME's immune-evasive mechanisms.
Building on this rationale, investigators developed a novel vaccine comprising irradiated tumor cells and stromal cells isolated from adjacent non-cancerous tissues or tumor tissues in combination with adjuvant. Irradiated tumor cells in vaccines such as YMN102, YMN103, YMN104, YMN105, YMN106, and YMN107 are transfected with GM-CSF; the others, such as YMN101 and YMN108, are not transfected with GM-CSF. Preclinical studies across multiple tumor models have demonstrated potent antitumor activity with no significant toxicity observed following administration. This first-in-human Phase I study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of this irradiated vaccine in patients with advanced solid tumors, alongside a preliminary assessment of its antitumor activity and immunogenic profile.
This is a first-in-human, Phase I, open-label study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of this novel vaccine. The study includes multiple arms targeting specific malignancies, including osteosarcoma, pancreatic cancer, HNSCC, colorectal cancer, HCC, glioma, and TNBC.
The primary objective is to determine the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Secondary objectives include assessing the objective response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) per RECIST v1.1. Exploratory analyses will monitor dynamic changes in circulating biomarkers and intratumoral immune modulation to identify potential predictive markers of clinical response.
