STAR-VACC is a randomized double-blind controlled Phase 2 study assessing clinical efficacy of IDH1-vac in patients with newly diagnosed IDH1-mutant high-grade astrocytomas. Over a period of three years, patients with astrocytoma, WHO grade 3-4, will receive up to 12 vaccinations with either IDH1-vac or IS-vac.
