KRAS Neoantigen Nanovaccine as Adjuvant Therapy for Colorectal Cancer/Pancreatic Cancer
Phase I/II Clinical Study of KRAS Neoantigen Nanovaccine as Adjuvant Therapy for Colorectal Cancer/Pancreatic Cancer With High Risk of Recurrence
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 15 Apr 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This clinical trial will utilize a neoantigen nanovaccine constructed from the bacterial membranes of an engineered Lactococcus lactis strain (FOLactis). This platform, independently developed by our center, expresses KRAS antigenic peptides. The vaccine will be administered as adjuvant therapy to post-operative patients with colorectal or pancreatic cancer who carry KRAS mutations and are at high risk of recurrence. The study aims to assess the safety, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of this neoantigen nanovaccine in a clinical setting.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Prior treatment with anticancer vaccines or any antibodies targeting T-cell co-regulatory proteins (e.g., anti-PD1, anti-PDL1, or anti-CTLA4).
- Patients who are on immunosuppressants or systemic corticosteroid therapy for immunosuppressive purposes (at a dose \>10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) and have continued use within 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
- Pregnant or lactating women. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment.
- Participation in other interventional drug clinical trials concurrently.
Other illness
- Patients with colorectal cancer exhibiting microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H)/deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) or harboring BRAF mutations.
- Pancreatic cancer patients with neuroendocrine tumor components are excluded.
- Patients with a history of other malignancies, except for carcinoma in situ of the cervix, treated squamous cell carcinoma or bladder epithelial tumors (Ta and TIS), or other malignancies that have been curatively treated (at least 5 years prior to enrollment).
- Patients with HIV, HCV, or HBV infection; uncontrolled coronary artery disease or asthma; uncontrolled cerebrovascular disease; or any other condition deemed by the investigator as grounds for exclusion.
- Known or suspected allergy to drugs used in immunotherapy.
- Known history of allogeneic organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Lab values
- Poorly controlled cardiac clinical symptoms or diseases, such as: Heart failure of NYHA Class II or higher; Unstable angina; Myocardial infarction within the past year; Clinically significant supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmia requiring treatment or intervention; QTc \>450 ms (males); QTc \>470 ms (females).
- Abnormal coagulation function (INR \>2.0, PT \>16 s), bleeding tendency, or current thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy. Prophylactic use of low-dose aspirin or low molecular weight heparin is allowed.
- Patients with active infection; unexplained fever ≥38.5°C within 7 days prior to medication; baseline white blood cell count \>15×10⁹/L; or suppurative and chronic infections with non-healing wounds.
Other
- Substance abuse, or clinical, psychological, or social factors that may affect the provision of informed consent or the conduct of the study.
- Inability to undergo immunological and clinical follow-up assessments.
Who the study is looking for
- Age ≥18 years and ≤75 years, with an ECOG performance status of 0-1.
- Patients with histologically confirmed colorectal adenocarcinoma or pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have undergone radical resection (R0) and completed at least 4 cycles of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy.
- Postoperative pathological stage for colorectal cancer is IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC. For pancreatic cancer, postoperative pathological stage is I, II, or III. The tumor must harbor at least one of the following KRAS hotspot mutations: G12D, G12V, G12R, G12A, G12S, G12C, or G13D.
- No radiological evidence of tumor recurrence or metastasis.
- Patients must meet the following hematologic criteria: Lymphocyte count ≥0.5×10⁹/L, neutrophil count ≥1.5×10⁹/L, white blood cell count \>2.5×10⁹/L; Hemoglobin ≥90 g/L; Platelet count ≥90×10⁹/L.
- Patients must meet the following biochemical criteria: Total bilirubin ≤1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); AST and ALT ≤1.5 × ULN; Serum creatinine ≤1.5 × ULN or creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min.
- Patients must meet the following coagulation criteria: INR or PTT ≤1.5 × ULN.
- Patients of childbearing potential must employ adequate contraception or other birth control methods before enrollment and throughout the trial.
- Signed informed consent form has been obtained.
- Ability to comply with the study protocol and follow-up procedures.
