Russia Says mRNA Cancer Vaccine Enteromix Is Ready After Preclinical Testing, Eyes Approval

Independent oncologists urge caution, noting the claims stem from preclinical work and must be validated in controlled human trials and peer‑reviewed data.

Overview

  • FMBA chief Veronika Skvortsova announced at the Eastern Economic Forum that Enteromix completed mandatory preclinical studies and is awaiting Health Ministry approval.
  • Developers report 60–80% tumor shrinkage or slower progression in study models, improved survival, and a favorable safety profile with repeated dosing.
  • Regulators have received an approval dossier, and a Phase I study of about 48 participants is described as imminent, with some reports saying early human testing has begun.
  • Enteromix is a personalized mRNA neoantigen vaccine that uses AI to tailor each dose to a patient’s tumor profile, with colorectal cancer as the first target and glioblastoma and certain melanomas in development.
  • Russian and international outlets have floated a 100% success claim that has not been independently verified, and experts say larger, controlled human trials are essential before drawing conclusions.
