CLEVELAND CLINIC PERSONALIZED VACCINE TRIAL

LITTLE WARRIOR’S BIG TRIAL

For years, we’ve been advancing a novel trial with the Cleveland Clinic — a personalized mRNA vaccine for Ewings Sarcoma. It started with sliding into the Twitter DM of Timothy Chan, and now it is in the final pre-clinical validation stages. We know the patient community is desperately waiting. We’re pushing this forward with all our might!

Funding Philosophy: Valley of Death

At Little Warrior Foundation, we think about the entire path to the patient. That’s why we’re making bigger investments, like the $350,000 we granted this year or the $2.5 million we’ve committed to the upcoming vaccine trial. Translational medicine takes time — frustratingly so —but we have faith that these are necessary steps to avoid the Valley of Death.

Little Warrior Foundation had the honor of naming this trial. And we landed on “SupraVax”. Why?

Supra is a prefix meaning “above, over” (supraorbital) or “beyond the limits of, outside of” (supramolecular; suprasegmental).

It’s finally time to move beyond the limits of conventional treatment.

And, it’s a tribute to our friend Ian. So many — too many— angel warriors live in our hearts. But Ian was one of the first. He got most places first because he drove a pristine white Toyota Supra. "Go Fast" is a small part of his huge legacy - one that drives this foundation every single day. Ian was one of the very first warriors to have his tumor sequenced for the development of this trial.

A cure didn't come fast enough for Ian, but with tremendous hope and urgency, we honor Ian by naming this trial after his beloved wheels.
