1 This means that some of the components of the canine vaccine could be used in the human vaccine to help get the clinical trials started sooner. (pharmacytimes.com)
However, a human clinical trial won't happen quite like the canine trial, which started off large to immediately test safety and efficacy. (pharmacytimes.com)
In a human clinical trial, it's more likely that the team will first complete a trial for stage I cancer treatment, then progress to a phase 1 clinical trial to test safety in those without cancer. (pharmacytimes.com)
Importantly, human clinical trials will also likely include a diagnostic to screen patients before enrolling them in the trial to ensure they are free of latent cancer, then again at predetermined intervals to detect any cancers that may arise during the trial. (pharmacytimes.com)
Although it may sound like a human clinical trial for the preventive pancancer vaccine will be more complicated or more difficult, this isn't the case. (pharmacytimes.com)
Even though there are more precedents for running large human clinical trials, immunology monitoring-a critical component of this trial-is better established in humans than in dogs, and gathering the data is also a simpler process. (pharmacytimes.com)
But perhaps the major differences in moving to human clinical trials are the timescale and the cost. (pharmacytimes.com)
Although the canine clinical trial has seen marked results in just 4 years, a human clinical trial will likely have to enroll many more participants to see results as quickly. (pharmacytimes.com)
Therefore, to see a difference in the human clinical trial, there's a longer wait and the trial must be much larger with the participants monitored for the early detection of cancer. (pharmacytimes.com)
This means the cost of the human clinical trial will be between at least 5 and 10 times that of the canine trial. (pharmacytimes.com)
Ultimately, the most important results from both the canine clinical trials and the human clinical trials are proof that this type of vaccine, and this particular vaccine, are safe and effective. (pharmacytimes.com)
