Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology 2026: Personalized Cancer Vaccine Pipeline Hits 31 Peptide-Vaccine Trials, 15 Dendritic Cell, 13 RNA — Most Targeting Solid Tumors

A 2026 Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology review of the personalized cancer vaccine pipeline counts 31 active peptide-vaccine trials — the most-used personalized vaccine platform — followed by dendritic-cell vaccines (15) and RNA vaccines (13). Phase 1 trials dominate the landscape (over 90% of studies), with US (44%) and China (24%) leading by registration count. Solid tumors (brain, pancreatic, breast) are the primary targets. Lead programs covered on this site that fit the framework: ELI-002 KRAS amphiphile vaccine (AMPLIFY-201), autogene cevumeran (BioNTech/Genentech) in pancreatic cancer, EVX-01 (Evaxion) in melanoma, GP2/GLSI-100 (Greenwich) in HER2 breast cancer, ENA101 (Enara), MVP-S (BioVaxys) in ovarian, and the multipeptide melanoma vaccination 20-year survival data.

Enara Bio Debuts ENA101, First-in-Class DARKFOX-Targeting Peptide T-Cell Engager at AACR

Enara Bio presented ENA101 at AACR 2026 on April 20, a first-in-class bispecific T-cell engager targeting DARKFOX — a novel cancer-specific 'dark antigen' peptide presented by HLA-A*03:01 and expressed in multiple solid tumors. Preclinical data showed low-picomolar potency and complete tumor regression in xenograft models with once-weekly dosing. IND submission planned for 2H 2026.
