A Single-Arm, Open-Label, Prospective Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of the NeoOVIV Vaccine in Patients With Ovarian Cancer After Surgery
9 participantsStarted 2026-07-31
Plain-language summary
This is a Phase I, single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation study in patients with stage II or III ovarian cancer after surgery. The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, immune response, and preliminary clinical activity of NeoOVIV, a personalized mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine, when given with standard adjuvant chemotherapy and a PD-1 antibody.

Inclusion criteria
. Female, aged between 18 and 75 years (inclusive) at the time of signing the written informed consent form (ICF)
. Patients with histopathologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), including: a) Patients with Stage II (Stage IIA/IIB, tumor confined to the pelvis with no extra-abdominal metastasis) or Stage III (Stage IIIA/IIIB/IIIC, tumor involving the serosal surface of intra-abdominal viscera or regional lymph node metastasis) disease, in accordance with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) 2014 Staging System; b) Have undergone cytoreductive surgery (CRS), with postoperative pathological confirmation of R1 resection (R1 defined as microscopic residual tumor at the surgical margin ≤ 1 mm); c) Qualified tumor tissue obtained during surgery is available for neoantigen screening: ① Fresh tumor tissue ≥ 100 mg (collected on the day of surgery and immediately immersed in RNA stabilization reagent); or ② ≥ 5 unstained sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue (each with a thickness of 5 μm, tumor cellularity ≥ 30%, and no significant necrosis); d) Whole-exome sequencing (WES) combined with RNA sequencing confirms the presence of ≥ 5 "usable neoantigens" (defined as: HLA binding affinity IC50 \< 500 nM, and transcript expression level of the mutant gene in transcripts per million (TPM) ≥ 1);
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
