The personalized, AI-assisted shot aims to train the immune system to attack tumors<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n Russian scientists have produced the first three test batches of a newly developed cancer vaccine at the Gamaleya Institute in Moscow, the center’s director, Alexander Gintsburg, has said. The breakthrough drug is an AI-assisted, mRNA-based vaccine designed to target malignant tumors using the patient’s own genetic data.<\/p>\n Reports on the readiness of the vaccine first emerged in September. Preclinical studies showed the drug could shrink tumors and slow their growth by 60-80%, depending on patient characteristics. The vaccine was initially expected to be used in patients with colorectal cancer.<\/p>\n “Most importantly, our leading oncology center – the Herzen Institute, headed by academician [Andrey] Kaprin – has obtained the full set of approvals needed to use the technology, from diagnostics and mRNA production to administering it to patients,”<\/em> Gintsburg said. The vaccine batches remain experimental even though they have passed all quality checks, he stressed on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Unlike conventional vaccines that prevent infection and severe illness, mRNA cancer vaccines are not designed to stop disease transmission. Traditional vaccines are given to healthy people, while oncology vaccines are a new class of therapies used to treat advanced-stage cancer. They are described as “vaccines”<\/em> because they act on the immune system, training it to recognize and destroy tumor cells.<\/p>\n
