CV9201 proven effective in NSCLC: CureVac study

The trial was intended to test the safety and toxicity of CV9201, besides its ability to induce antigen-specific humoral and cellular immune responses in cancer patients.

The trial with CV9201, tested an immunotherapy based on CureVac´s RNActive vaccination technology in patients after heavy pre-treatment with chemotherapy and 65% of the phase IIa study patients responded to at least one antigen out of the five antigens in CV9201.

The study evaluated a five dose regime of CV9201 delivered via intradermal injection in 46 patients and found that CV9201 is safe, well tolerated and biologically active.
