Dual Vaccine Trial in Myeloproliferative Neoplasms

Phase 1

Completed

• Conditions: Polycythemia Vera; Essential Thrombocythemia

• Registration Number: NCT04051307
• Lead Sponsor: Inge Marie Svane

Brief Summary

A phase I-II study in patients with mutated MPN by vaccinating with PD-L1 and Aginase1 peptides with Montanide ISA-51 as adjuvant, to monitor the immunological response to vaccination and subsequently safety, toxicity and clinical effect.
