YMN106: In the priming phase, subjects receive intracalvariosseous (ICO) injection of the YMN106 vaccine on Days 0, 14, and 28. During the personalized immunotherapy (boost) phase, administration occurs every 28 days at the investigator's discretion.

YMN107: In the priming phase, subjects receive subcutaneous injections of the YMN107 vaccine on Days 0, 14, and 28. During the personalized immunotherapy (boost) phase, administration occurs every 28 days at the investigator's discretion.

YMN108: In the priming phase, subjects receive subcutaneous injections of the YMN108 vaccine on Days 0, 14, and 28. During the personalized immunotherapy (boost) phase, administration occurs every 28 days at the investigator's discretion.

Regorafenib: Regorafenib at 160 mg once daily from Day 1 to Day 21, every 4 weeks (Q4W).

Study summary

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.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Number of Participants Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) — From the first dose up to 14 days following the third dose (Day 0 to approximately Day 42).
  DLT is defined as any Treatment-Related Adverse Event (TRAE) or clinically significant laboratory abnormality occurring during the DLT observation period. TRAEs include events judged by the investigator to be "definitely," "probably," or "possibly" related to the study treatment. Severity will be graded according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0.
• Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE) — Up to 6 months from the date of the first dose.
  An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition which was temporally associated with the use of the product was also an AE. The number of participants who experienced an AE was reported for each arm.
