Alexander Gintsburg, the scientific director of the Gamaleya National Epidemiology and Microbiology Research Center, announced that the melanoma vaccine developed in Russia is currently ready to be administered to at least 12 patients. The vaccine is a therapeutic vaccine designed to stimulate the immune system of melanoma patients against tumor cells. Gintsburg noted that preclinical and phase 1 trials related to the vaccine have yielded positive results. The production of this vaccine is being carried out in the center's existing facilities.
Gintsburg said that work on the vaccine is continuing and that the vaccine will be administered to at least 20 patients in total by the end of this year. Patient selection will focus on those with advanced melanoma and those who do not respond to standard therapies. A process to collect more detailed data on the vaccine's safety and efficacy is being planned. If successful, this approach could be applicable to other skin cancers and possibly different tumor types.
