The United Kingdom is set to begin a “match-making” service called the cancer vaccine launch pad , which can match patients with suitable trials.
In the project, which will be run by the Southampton Clinical Trials Unit , based at the University of Southampton, thousands of patients will be able to access “ground-breaking” cancer vaccines as part of an NHS trial. The programme aims to improve patient access to clinical trials to test new investigational immunotherapies by speeding up the development of personalised cancer vaccines.
The vaccines are created by analysing a patient’s tumour and using that information to create a vaccine tailored to that individual.The vaccines aim to create an immune “memory” that can prevent cancer from returning after surgery or chemotherapy.
