TIGER Proof of Principle of the best-in-class therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine

Coordinator: ETHERNA IMMUNOTHERAPIES (BE)

TIGER delivers proof of principle (PoP) in humans for a novel best-in-class therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine platform optimized for intravenous (IV) administration, with the aim to show clinical benefit. The antigens used for the PoP consists of mRNAs encoding the proteins E6 and E7 of Human Papilloma Virus strain 16 (HPV16), and TriMix mRNAs that act as adjuvant to stimulate dendritic cells to start strong T cell responses. The mRNAs will be formulated in a novel patented lipid nanoparticle shielding the mRNA, and delivering it to immunoactive antigen presenting cells, vastly enhancing T-cell…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €6.9M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 4.5 years from 2021-02-01 to 2025-07-31.
