{"title":"Echo Immune","summary":"Echo Immune designs and makes personalized mRNA cancer vaccines for patients with solid tumors, handling sequencing, design, manufacturing, FDA paperwork and immune monitoring.","body":"Echo Immune designs and makes personalized mRNA cancer vaccines, and guides patients through each step from tumor tissue to the first dose. It works with patients who have solid tumors.\n\n## My experience\n\nIn October 2026 I spoke with Echo Immune about treatment options. They were very helpful in answering my questions and gave me thoughtful guidance. My own vaccine was later designed by [Serova](/companies/serova/), but I'd recommend talking with Echo Immune if you're exploring a personalized vaccine.\n\n## What they do\n\nEcho Immune's site describes one team handling the whole process:\n\n1. **Tumor data.** It helps track down your tumor tissue and get full genome and RNA sequencing.\n2. **Targets.** It analyzes that data with AI models to pick the parts of your tumor your immune system can learn to recognize.\n3. **Manufacturing.** It handles the FDA requirements, and a GMP-certified lab makes the vaccine.\n4. **Doses and monitoring.** Your own doctor gives the doses at a coordinated clinic, over about six months. Echo Immune tracks your immune response with a test tailored to you.\n\nLike Serova, Echo Immune uses mRNA. [JLF](/companies/jaime-leandro-foundation/) uses peptide vaccines, which is a useful difference to understand when you compare options.\n\nThe company started from Sid Sijbrandij's own cancer experience, the same story behind [Future of Cancer Care Today](/companies/fcct/). Its team includes scientists and clinicians from mRNA, cancer vaccine and manufacturing work.\n\nThese vaccines are experimental and not FDA-approved. Echo Immune's FAQ says doctors give them under frameworks like compassionate use. I'd talk through the evidence and risks with my oncologist.\n\n## How to start\n\nEcho Immune offers a free consultation. You, a family member or your doctor can reach out through the form on its site. Bring your diagnosis, treatment history and any sequencing reports.\n\n## Questions I would ask\n\n1. Is my tumor tissue enough, or would I need new sequencing?\n2. What does the full process look like for my cancer, from tissue to first dose?\n3. Which clinic near me would give the doses, and how would my oncologist be involved?\n4. How would you measure whether my immune system is responding?\n5. How would this fit with my current treatment?\n\nI put more questions in [Personalized cancer vaccines: what to ask](/resources/cancer-vaccines/).\n\n## Contacts\n\n- Website: [echoimmune.com](https://www.echoimmune.com/)\n- Free consultation: [request form](https://www.echoimmune.com/home#contact)","topics":["emerging-research","expert-support"],"capabilities":["emerging-research","research-support"],"sources":[{"id":"echo-home","label":"Echo Immune: process and FAQs","url":"https://www.echoimmune.com/","publisher":"Echo Immune","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"Personalized mRNA vaccines for solid tumors; four-phase process; six-month dosing; immune monitoring; not FDA-approved, compassionate use; free consultation.","type":"official"},{"id":"echo-about","label":"Echo Immune: about and team","url":"https://www.echoimmune.com/about","publisher":"Echo Immune","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"Mission, origin in Sid Sijbrandij's cancer experience, team backgrounds.","type":"official"},{"id":"fda-access","label":"FDA: expanded access information for patients","url":"https://www.fda.gov/news-events/expanded-access/expanded-access-information-patients","publisher":"U.S. Food and Drug Administration","checkedAt":"2026-10-22","supports":"Investigational status, physician/sponsor/IRB/FDA roles, lack of guaranteed access or benefit and possible uninsured costs.","type":"official"}],"applicability":"For patients with solid tumors and their families exploring a personalized mRNA vaccine with their oncologist.
