Corona ist vorbei. Aber Was gegen Krebs ist schon was feines.

Dr. Ryan Sullivan, a melanoma expert at Mass General Cancer: "From a general cancer therapeutic standpoint, this is a potential major breakthrough". the overall intention-to-treat population, adjuvant treatment with mRNA-4157 (V940) in combination with KEYTRUDA demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in recurrence-free survival (RFS), and reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 44% (HR=0.56 [95% CI, 0.309-1.017]; one-sided p value=0.0266) compared with KEYTRUDA alone. "Today's results provide further encouragement for the potential of mRNA as an individualized neoantigen therapy to positively impact patients with high-risk resected melanoma," said Dr. Kyle Holen, M.D. Moderna's Senior Vice President and Head of Development, Therapeutics and Oncology. "The profound observed reduction in the risk of recurrence-free survival suggests this combination may be a novel means of potentially extending the lives of patients with high-risk melanoma. We look forward to starting the Phase 3 melanoma trial soon and expanding testing to lung cancer and beyond." Companies will initiate a Phase 3 study in patients with adjuvant melanoma in 2023, and rapidly expand to additional tumor types, including non-small cell lung cancer https://investors.modernatx.com/news/news-details/2023/Moderna-and-Merck-Announce-mRNA-4157-V940-an-Investigational-Individualized-Neoantigen-Therapy-in-Combination-with-KEYTRUDAR-Pembrolizumab-Demonstrated-Superior-Recurrence-Free-Survival-in-Patients-with-High-Risk-Stage-IIIIV-Melanoma-Following-Comple/default.aspx
