Cancer Vaccination and Immune-Based Approaches in Pancreatic Cancer. (PubMed, Cancers (Basel)) - "Various vaccination platforms have been tested in the clinical setting, from off-the-shelf peptide-based vaccines (e.g., AMPLFIFY-201 study, where over 80% of participants exhibited T-cell and biomarker responses) to personalized neoantigen mRNA vaccine approaches (e.g., autogene cevumeran, with significant responders experiencing longer median recurrence-free survival (RFS)). The key considerations for enhancing the efficacy of vaccination include combinations with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and/or ICBs, as well as selecting appropriate immunomodulators or adjuvants. Recent results suggest that with continued mechanistic advancement and novel therapeutic development, cancer vaccines may finally be poised for clinical success in PDAC."

A platform to identify patients for cancer vaccine trials: The NHS England Cancer Vaccine Launch Pad (CVLP). (ASCO 2025) - P2 | "Sponsored by NHS England the first trial incorporated within the CVLP is BioNTech BNT122-01 (NCT04486378) investigating the RO7198457 mRNA vaccine in patients with ctDNA-positive, resected Stage II/III colorectal cancer which reached approximately 60% of patients undergoing colorectal surgery via the CVLP from 55 sites across England. To facilitate screening to the cancer vaccine trial 96.4% of tissue samples were prepared in the required time frame for testing (average 2.5 days) providing proof of principal for this pathway and paving the way for the onboarding of further trials."

Personalized medicine in pancreatic cancer: Harnessing the potential of mRNA vaccines. (PubMed, J Genet Eng Biotechnol) - "Emerging mRNA vaccines, such as autogene cevumeran (BNT122), show promise in enhancing treatment...Despite this progress, the complexity of PDAC remains a significant challenge. Continued research is essential to fully realize the potential of mRNA-based therapies in combating this deadly cancer."

BioNTech Announces Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Financial Results and Corporate Update (GlobeNewswire) - "First data from the ongoing global randomized Phase 2 clinical trial (NCT04486378) evaluating autogene cevumeran as an adjuvant treatment compared to watchful waiting after standard of care chemotherapy in resected circulating tumor DNA+ ('ctDNA') stage II (high-risk) and III colorectal cancer ('CRC') are anticipated in late 2025 or early 2026. BNT111 is based on BioNTech’s fully owned, off-the-shelf FixVac platform, and encodes four melanoma-associated antigens. BioNTech plans to present data from the ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial (BNT111-01; NCT04526899) at a medical conference in 2025."

RNA neoantigen vaccines prime long-lived CD8+ T cells in pancreatic cancer. (PubMed, Nature) - "At an extended 3.2-year median follow-up from a phase 1 trial of surgery, atezolizumab (PD-L1 inhibitory antibody), autogene cevumeran1 (individualized neoantigen vaccine with backbone-optimized uridine mRNA-lipoplex nanoparticles) and modified (m) FOLFIRINOX (chemotherapy) in patients with PDAC, we find that responders with vaccine-induced T cells (n = 8) have prolonged recurrence-free survival (RFS; median not reached) compared with non-responders without vaccine-induced T cells (n = 8; median RFS 13.4 months; P  =  0.007)...Thus, in PDAC, autogene cevumeran induces de novo CD8+ T cells with multiyear longevity, substantial magnitude and durable effector functions that may delay PDAC recurrence. Adjuvant mRNA-lipoplex neoantigen vaccines may thus solve a pivotal obstacle for cancer vaccination."

At the Policlinico of Bari the first vaccine in the world to prevent recurrence of urinary tract cancer [Google translation] (la Repubblica) - "At the Policlinico di Bari, for the first time in the world, a patient affected by urinary tract cancer was started, after surgery, on the therapeutic combination of the personalized mRNA (messenger RNA) vaccine, autogenous cevumeran, and nivolumab immunotherapy (approved by international regulatory authorities, to date not yet reimbursed in Italy in this therapeutic scenario). This is a vaccine designed for the individual patient based on the specific mutations identified in their tumor sample. The patient is a 75-year-old woman, who last August underwent complete resection of a high-risk upper urinary tract cancer....The Policlinico di Bari was the first center among 110 worldwide, 9 of which in Italy, to effectively complete the screening phase of a patient eligible for the international clinical study evaluating the efficacy of the therapeutic combination of the cevumeran vaccine and the PD-1 inhibitor, nivolumab."
