The phase 2B SURVIVE trial testing SurVaxM, a cancer vaccine for glioblastoma, will continue as planned following an interim analysis showing sufficient promise to proceed. SurVaxM, combined with standard treatments like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, aims to extend survival and improve quality of life for patients with this aggressive brain cancer.The vaccine targets survivin, a protein that helps tumor cells evade death, and has shown a strong safety profile and encouraging survival rates in earlier studies. While specific results remain confidential due to trial regulations, the decision to continue marks a hopeful step in the development of more effective glioblastoma therapies.
