For years, Mount Sinai urologists have been administering radiation and hormone-based therapies to treat patients who present with aggressive prostate cancer. But the battle is about to get more personal with a new clinical trial that is exploring the potential of a personalized vaccine approach.

The phase 1, open-label, single-center, proof-of-concept study is assessing the safety and tolerability of administering a PGV001-based multi-peptide vaccine—a fully personalized therapeutic vaccine directed toward mutation-derived tumor antigens—in combination with CDX-301, a potent hematopoietic cytokine.
