A Phase 1 interventional study of CV09070101 mRNA vaccine (CVHNLC) 50 µg and CV09070101 mRNA vaccine (CVHNLC) 100 µg in Squamous NSCLC, sponsored by CureVac. Withdrawn at 13 sites in 3 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-02.
Sponsored by CureVac (part of BioNTech SE) · Phase 1, Interventional, and Treatment
This is an open-label, first-in-human, dose escalation study of CV09070101 mRNA (CVHNLC) in patients with metastatic Squamous Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (sqNSCLC).
The study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of CVHNLC plus pembrolizumab in an Dose Escalation Part and, once the safety of this combination is established, CVHNLC plus prembrolizumab and chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) will be evaluated in an Dose Expansion Part with the recommended dose selected from the Dose Escalation Part.
Dose Escalation (Metastatic 1L Maintenance sqNSCLC) The Dose Escalation Part will be comprised of 3 dose cohorts with a starting dose of 100 μg (dose level 1). Once the starting dose is established as safe, further dose levels of 200 μg and 400 μg may be explored. Depending on safety assessment guided by a Bayesian Logistic Regression Model (BLRM) design intermediate dose levels may be explored. In case the HTD is exceeded at 100 μg, a lower dose level of 50 μg may be explored.
Approximately 3 to 6 patients will be enrolled per dose level/cohort. To better understand the safety and tolerability of CVHNLC, additional patients may be enrolled in enrichment cohorts at dose levels that have previously been determined to be safe in at least 3 patients. This may be before or while proceeding with the next higher dose. An enrichment cohort may have up to 10 patients enrolled.
Each dose level will start with the staggered enrollment of 3 patients. There will be a 2-week interval between the first CVHNLC administration of the first patient and the first CVHNLC administration of the second patient. The same approach will be used between the second and third patient. If the cohort is enriched with further patients, subsequent patients may be treated concurrently once the second patient has completed the 2 weeks after the first CVHNLC administration. The enrollment is followed by a safety data review by the Safety Review Team (SRT) after all patients in each cohort have completed their 4 weeks DLT evaluation period. Non-evaluable patients (patients that discontinue/withdraw during the DLT assessment period for a reason other than DLT) may be replaced.
Safety will be continuously monitored by the Sponsor's Safety Physician, Sponsor's Medical Responsible Person (MRP) and the medical monitor with a focus on DLTs, Grade ≥ 3 AEs occurring after the DLT period, SAEs, and AESIs. After completion of the DLT evaluation period in all patients enrolled in a dose cohort, the SRT will review the safety data from the respective and all previous dose cohorts together with the Coordinating Investigator and decide about the next steps e.g.:
At the end of the Dose Escalation Part, an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will recommend a dose for the Dose Expansion Part (RDE) based on review of the complete safety data from the Dose Escalation Part and the Sponsor will decide on the RDE.
Dose Expansion Part (Metastatic 1L sqNSCLC) The optional Dose Expansion Part will include patients with histologically confirmed metastatic sqNSCLC not amenable for surgical or locoregional therapy and eligible for 1L treatment with pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy (carboplatin/paclitaxel). Patients should not have received any prior systemic treatment for metastatic disease. Previous (neo-)adjuvant treatment is only permitted if there are at least 12 months between end of such treatment and development of metastatic disease. Patients will receive CVHNLC plus 4 cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel and pembrolizumab (3-weekly) followed by pembrolizumab maintenance therapy. Patients who discontinue prematurely from chemotherapy due to toxicity may continue on CVHNLC plus pembrolizumab. The first dose of CVHNLC will be administered one week prior to chemotherapy to avoid the immune suppressive effect from concomitant administration of steroids as premedication/supportive medication to chemotherapy treatment. Once chemotherapy is completed, CVHNLC administration will be aligned with pembrolizumab treatment to reduce patient visit burden.
The Dose Expansion Part will start with a safety lead-in, where the first 6 patients will be evaluated with focus on treatment-related AEs, SAEs, and AESIs after having completed the Day 29 visit, before continuing the enrollment. The safety data will be reviewed by the SRT and in addition by the DSMB, which will give a recommendation on dosage for treatment continuation. Patients will receive CVHNLC plus pembrolizumab for up to 12 months or until disease progression or undue toxicity. Patients not progressing after this period may continue on pembrolizumab outside of the trial according to standard of care.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.
“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.
PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.
PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.
The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.
The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.
The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.
“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.
Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.
“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.
It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).
Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.
Cancer that has spread to the leptomeninges, the thin layers covering the brain and spinal cord, and the fluid between them. It is not the same as brain metastases.
Criteria often treat it separately, and many studies leave it out even where treated brain metastases are allowed.
Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
