COLONYVAQ™, a Quantum-Classical Guided Personalized Neoantigen Vaccine for MSS Stage III Colorectal Cancer

COLONYVAQ™-CRC, a Physics-aware, Quantum-Classical AI-Guided Personalized Neoantigen Peptide Vaccine, Administered in Combination With Standard Adjuvant Oxaliplatin-based Chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX) and Nivolumab 3 mg/kg in Patients With Completely Resected Stage III Microsatellite-stable (MSS)

Summary

This is an early phase I, single-arm, open-label clinical study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of COLONYVAQ-CRC, a physics-aware, quantum-classical AI-guided personalized neoantigen peptide vaccine, administered in combination with standard adjuvant oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy (mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX) and nivolumab 3 mg/kg in patients with completely resected stage III microsatellite-stable (MSS) / proficient mismatch repair (pMMR) colorectal cancer. An initial safety cohort of 12 patients will be enrolled and closely monitored for toxicity attributable to the experimental vaccine preparation. If, among these 12 patients, fewer than 3 develop experimental-preparation-related toxicity greater than grade 2 and no patient develops experimental-preparation-related grade 4 toxicity, the study will expand to enroll a total of 50 patients. Primary objectives focus on safety and tolerability of the combination regimen. Secondary and exploratory objectives characterize neoantigen-specific immune responses, ctDNA dynamics, T-cell receptor (TCR) clonotype evolution, tumor immune microenvironment features, and preliminary disease control (disease-free survival and overall survival) to inform subsequent phase II design.


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a personalized cancer vaccine called COLONYVAQ for patients with stage III colon or rectal cancer after surgery. The vaccine is designed using the patient's own tumor's unique genetic fingerprint to train their immune system to recognize and attack any remaining cancer cells. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with stage III colon or rectal cancer (cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes but not to distant organs) - Your tumor has been completely removed (R0 resection) with clear margins - Your tumor is confirmed to be MSS or pMMR (a specific genetic type that does not respond well to standard immunotherapy) - You are at high risk for recurrence (for example, T4 tumor, 4+ positive lymph nodes, or detectable cancer DNA in blood after surgery) - You are able to start the study treatment within the required time window after surgery **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer has spread to distant organs - Your tumor was not completely removed - Your tumor is the dMMR/MSI-H type or has a POLE mutation - You have not recovered adequately from surgery Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALExperimental: COLONYVAQ-CRC + mFOLFOX6 or CAPOX + Nivolumab

Intervention Type: Biological Intervention Name: COLONYVAQ-CRC (Personalized Neoantigen Peptide Vaccine) Description: COLONYVAQ-CRC is a personalized multi-peptide neoantigen vaccine composed of up to 20 patient-specific synthetic peptides (8-30 amino acids; 0.3 mg per peptide per dose). Neoantigens are selected from tumor/normal whole-exome and tumor RNA sequencing using the COLONYVAQ quantum-classical pipeline (including HLA typing, quantum-geometric similarity, thermodynamic docking, and calibrated immunogenicity scoring). Peptides passing all physics-immunology gates are synthesized under GMP, grouped into 2-4 pools (≤5 peptides/pool in 500 µL), and mixed 1:1 with Montamide (2 mg/mL) to a final volume of 1 mL for subcutaneous injection into lymph node-rich regions (e.g., bilateral axillae/groins). Vaccination follows a prime-boost schedule (e.g., Days 1, 4, 8, 15, 22; booster doses around Weeks 12 and 20), coordinated with chemotherapy.
