Summary

This trial studies a cancer vaccine to help prevent recurrence. It will evaluate safety, effectiveness, and dosage.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've had surgery or other curative treatments for certain solid cancers (like colorectal, breast, lung cancer, etc.) and are now in a surveillance period with no evidence of disease. They must be able to provide tissue samples, have an ECOG status of 0-2, and agree to use effective contraception.
What is being tested?
The study tests YE-NEO-001, a personalized neoepitope yeast-based vaccine designed to trigger T-cell responses against cancer. It's given after standard treatment when patients are monitoring for recurrence. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if it helps prevent cancer from coming back.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a phase 1 trial primarily focused on safety and dosage levels, specific side effects aren't listed but may include typical immune-related reactions such as inflammation or flu-like symptoms due to the activation of the body's immune system.
