An observational study in Solid Tumor, Healthy and Malignant Solid Neoplasm, sponsored by Mayo Clinic. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-09.
Sponsored by Mayo Clinic · Observational
The purpose of this study is to understand how the body's immune cells respond to a new type of vaccine (neoantigen vaccine) designed to help the immune system recognize and fight cancer. To do this, the study team will collect a research specimen from participants to study their immune cells' reactions to the neoantigen vaccine. This research will help researchers learn more about how these vaccines might work to protect or treat against cancer.
Mayo Clinic is the lead sponsor of 3,218 studies on the registry; 670 are open to participants now.
Of its 445 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 313 (70%) have results posted.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Male and female participants who have/had cancer or are healthy individuals who would like to contribute to cancer research efforts.
The following laboratory values obtained ≤ 28 days prior to registration
Exclusion Criteria:
Any of the following prior therapies:
Known history of active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the ≤14 days (i.e., with the use of disease-modifying agents, corticosteroids >10 mg daily prednisone equivalent, or other immunosuppressive drugs) prior to registration.
Participants who elect to provide specimen via standard blood draw. Some participants may provide a specimen via blood draw one time (the "blood draw group") and then elect to provide a second optional specimen via apheresis (the "apheresis group") or vice versa. Thus, which specimen collection group a given participant is in may change based on patient and provider preference for a given visit.
Procedure: Blood Draw · Procedure: Apheresis
Participants who elect to provide specimen via apheresis. Apheresis is a procedure where blood is drawn from the body, specific components like plasma, platelets, and/or white blood cells are separated out, and the rest of the blood is returned. Some participants may provide a specimen via apheresis one time (the "apheresis group") and then elect to provide a second optional specimen via a standard blood draw (the "blood draw group") or vice versa. Thus, which specimen collection group a given participant is in may change based on patient and provider preference for a given visit.
Procedure: Blood Draw · Procedure: Apheresis
Participants have a standard blood draw or apheresis on study. Some participants may provide a specimen via apheresis one time (the "blood draw group") and then elect to provide a second optional specimen via a standard blood draw (the "apheresis draw group") or vice versa.
Also known as: Blood sample collection, Biospecimen collection, Specimen collection
Participants have a standard blood draw or apheresis on study. Apheresis is a procedure where blood is drawn from your body, specific components like plasma, platelets, and/or white blood cells are separated out, and the rest of the blood is returned. Some participants may provide a specimen via apheresis one time (the "apheresis group") and then elect to provide a second optional specimen via a standard blood draw (the "blood draw group") or vice versa.
Immune effector networks
Specimen samples obtained by blood draw and/or apheresis will be analyzed to identify immune effector networks that accelerate ex vivo expansion of antigen-specific memory precursor T cells. All tests will be two sided with a p\<0.05 being considered as statistically significant.
Time frame: Baseline; up to 3 years
Dendritic cell signaling programs
Specimen samples obtained by blood draw and/or apheresis will be analyzed to define dendritic cell signaling programs that foster generation of polyfunctional, high avidity antigen-specific T cells capable of recognizing naturally processed tumor antigen. All tests will be two sided with a p\<0.05 being considered as statistically significant.
Time frame: Baseline; up to 3 years
Cytokine capture methods
Specimen samples obtained by blood draw and/or apheresis will be analyzed to identify cytokine capture methods for isolation of antigen-specific T cells. All tests will be two sided with a p\<0.05 being considered as statistically significant.
Time frame: Baseline; up to 3 years
