The German company said on Tuesday that it had dosed its first patient in a phase 1 trial for its investigational cancer vaccine, CVGBM. CureVac said it expects to publish early trial data in the second half of next year. The study will look at the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine on patients with glioblastoma and astrocytoma, two cancers that begin in the brain or spinal cord. The patients will have already undergone surgical resection and radiation.
In 2020, CureVac began a partnership with (formerly known as GlaxoSmithKline), to develop new vaccines to treat cancer and other diseases based on CureVac's second-generation mRNA platform. CVGBM is the first investigational cancer vaccine to come out of that effort.
