Clinical trials

This study tests an investigational cancer vaccine called ITI-5000 in people who have completed standard treatment for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). ITI-5000 is a self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) vaccine that instructs the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells expressing two proteins found on TNBC cells-HERV-K and CT83-fused with a molecule called LAMP-1 that helps the immune system respond more strongly. The vaccine is delivered inside lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), similar to other approved mRNA vaccines. The study has two parts: * Part A: Participants receive ITI-5000 alone at one of two dose levels (1 µg or 10 µg), given as an injection into the upper arm muscle every 28 days for 3 doses total. The goal is to find the safest dose. * Part B: Participants receive ITI-5000 at the best dose identified in Part A, combined with an approved immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda®), every 21 days for 3 doses total.
