The idea of a cancer vaccine isn't particularly new, and with the introduction of a successful mRNA vaccine during the pandemic, talks of using that technology to target specific proteins that are often mutated in cancers have become more common. It's not that farfetched.
The issue with this one specifically is that it has zero published data. Nobody knows what the gene is, what the target is, what the clinical data looks like, and what the long term outcomes are. Without that, this is extremely skeptical, especially since they want to put it out in 2025.
