Moderna’s cancer vaccine clears phase 3
Digest more
Moderna’s vaccine, intismeran, is a personalized neoantigen vaccine. It delivers mRNA that encodes tumor-specific mutations identified from a person’s previously removed tumor. That mRNA is bundled into a lipid nanoparticle before being delivered back into a patient to train their body to fight the tumor cells.
A personalized mRNA therapy met two melanoma trial goals, the FDA cleared the first treatment for GSDIa, and Novo tests lower doses of its obesity pill.
The story has been refreshed with the latest market price action and a revised headline. Elon Musk said Wednesday that mRNA technology could fundamentally change how diseases are treated, a shift that would make medicine more of
In light of recent wins for mRNA vaccine makers, UCSC RNA Center Co-Director Jeremy Sanford describes the versatility of the mRNA platform and how it quickens vaccine production
The success of Moderna and Merck’s intismeran autogene doesn’t guarantee smooth sailing for other mRNA vaccine developers
In a new study, scientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine report that an experimental mRNA-based platform has the potential to help deliver next-generation mRNA therapeutics, including vaccines fighting against infectious disease, cancer and autoimmune conditions, faster and more efficiently than the industry standard.
