This is a phase I-II study with VSSP (nanoparticle with immunomodulatory function) in patients with metastatic renal carcinoma. The mechanism of action of this molecule is to decrease suppressor myeloid cells, which are an important escape mechanism from tumors. <br />The initial workshop focused its attention on the clinical protocol to follow and the relevance of clinical trials in the treatment of this type of kidney cancer, knowing that there is no therapeutic alternative for patients with this condition. <br />In principle, the Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital is approved as a clinical site, although the intention is to later incorporate other research sites that include the National Institute of Oncology and Radiobiology, Calixto García, Minimal Access Surgery Center and Enrique Cabrera Hospital.

Frequent Questions

How can I access the therapeutic vaccines against lung cancer?


Cuba has 2 therapeutic vaccines for advanced lung cancer:
CIMAvax EGF ® and VAXIRA ® (racotumomab). Both therapeutic vaccines have sanitary registration in the indication of stage III and IV advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), after the first line of chemotherapy. The main clinical benefit of these vaccines has been shown to be increased survival and improved quality of life, as well as a broad safety profile.
