Trial of PalloV-CC in Colon Cancer

The PalloV-CC vaccine uses yeast cell wall particles (YCWP) to serve as an efficient vaccine delivery system as they can contain a broad range of antigenic material, they are rapidly phagocytized by antigen presenting cells, and they are inherently immunogenic. The PalloV-CC vaccine utilizes silicate-capped YCWP to deliver allogenic colon cancer tumor lysate. The vaccine will be given to subjects with resectable colon cancers neoadjuvantly shortly before surgery in order to study the effect of the vaccine on the tumor microenvironment using a well-validated immune scoring system for colon cancer and other immunologic tests.
