Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of personalized mRNA vaccine iNeo-Vac-R01 in combination with first-line treatment in subjects with advanced digestive system neoplasms.

Detailed description: This is a single-center, open-label, single-arm clinical study of personalized mRNA vaccine iNeo-Vac-R01 in combination with first-line treatment in subjects with advanced digestive system neoplasms.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

2. Subjects must have one of the histologically- or cytologically-confirmed advanced (locally advanced or metastatic) digestive system neoplasms, have measurable disease at study entry defined by RECIST v1.1. Subjects must receive at least 4 cycles of standard first-line treatment according to CSCO clinical guidelines. The toxic effects of previous anti-tumor treatments have returned to \</= grade 1 defined by NCI-CTCAE v5.0 or to the level specified by the inclusion/exclusion criteria.
3. Expected survival \>/= 6 months.
4. ECOG performance status score of 0 \~ 1.
5. Sufficient tumor tissue samples can be obtained from subjects for genetic analysis, with at least 2 puncture tissues with a tumor purity of ≥ 50% required for puncture samples and at least 0.5cm of tissue required for surgical samples. Alternatively, the original gene sequencing data required for tumor neoantigen analysis can be provided, including full exon sequencing data of tumor tissue, transcriptome sequencing data, and full exon sequencing data of peripheral blood.
6. Echocardiographic evaluation: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \>/= 50%.
7. The organ function level must meet the following requirements: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>/= 1.5 × 10\^9/L, platelet count (PLT) \>/= 80 × 10\^9/L, hemoglobin (Hb) \>/= 90 g/L; serum total bilirubin (TBIL) \</= 1.5 × ULN, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \</= 2.5 × ULN (if there is liver metastasis, TBIL \</= 3 × ULN, AST, ALT \</= 5 ×ULN are allowed), serum albumin \>/= 28g/L, serum creatinine \</= 1.5 × BUN, Glomerular filtration rate \>/= 50mL/min, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and international standardized ratio (INR) \</= 1.5 × ULN (without anticoagulant therapy) .
8. For women of childbearing potential: having a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to study initiation, agreement to remain abstinent or use contraceptive measures during the treatment period.
9. For men: agreement to remain abstinent or use contraceptive measures during the treatment period.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects with cancer requiring anti-tumor treatment within the 5 years prior to enrollment in the study (except stage I prostate cancer, cervical cancer in situ, breast cancer in situ, papillary thyroid cancer and non-melanoma skin cancer that have been treated).
2. Subjects who received major surgery, or had obvious traumatic injury or long-term untreated wounds or fractures within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of iNeo-Vac-R01.
3. Subjects whose sequencing data was found that there are no new antigens available for individualized immunotherapy after analysis.
4. Subjects who prepare to undergo or have previously received bone marrow transplantation, allogeneic organ transplantation, or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Subjects who receive other anti-tumor treatments within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of iNeo-Vac-R01, including surgical treatment, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, endocrine therapy, immunotherapy, biological therapy, interventional therapy, or other clinical trial related treatments.
5. Subjects who need to use immunosuppressants, or systemic or absorbable local glucocorticoids therapy to achieve immunosuppressive effects and continue to use them within 7 days before the first administration (excluding those with daily doses of glucocorticoids less than 10mg of prednisone or doses of other therapeutic glucocorticoids equal to 10mg of prednisone).
