drug_description
A community-type tumor neoantigen mRNA cancer vaccine designed to induce tumor-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell responses to recognize and kill cancer cells.

nci_thesaurus_definition
A cancer vaccine consisting of self-replicating RNA (srRNA) encoding a patients tumor-specific neoantigens, with potential immunomodulatory and antineoplastic activities. Upon administration of neoantigen srRNA vaccine JCXH-212, the srRNA is taken up by and translated into the neoantigens in the patients antigen-presenting cells (APCs), primarily dendritic cells (DCs), and presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on the surface of the APCs. This may activate tumor antigen-specific T-cells to kill cancer cells expressing these neoantigens.

drug_mechanism_of_action
Self-replicating mRNA encoding patient-specific tumor neoantigens is taken up by antigen-presenting cells (primarily dendritic cells), translated into neoantigen proteins, and presented on MHC class I and II. This primes and expands neoantigen-specific CD8+ cytotoxic and CD4+ helper T cells, leading to immune-mediated killing of neoantigen-expressing cancer cells.
