研究组 & 干预措施
Vaccine group
Participants in this single treatment arm will receive standard postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, tislelizumab as a PD-1 antibody, and the NeoOVSV mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine.
Standard adjuvant chemotherapy will begin approximately 4 weeks after surgery, with the regimen selected according to current clinical guidelines, such as paclitaxel plus carboplatin. Tislelizumab will also begin approximately 4 weeks after surgery and will be administered for 6 doses, generally 1 day before chemotherapy.
The NeoOVSV vaccine will be administered by intramuscular injection starting approximately 4 weeks after surgery. Three dose levels will be evaluated using a 3+3 dose-escalation design: 25 μg, 50 μg, and 100 μg, corresponding to approximate injection volumes of 0.2 mL, 0.4 mL, and 0.8 mL, respectively. Each dose level will enroll 3 to 6 participants.
