In a mid-stage trial that involved 157 patients, their combined treatment resulted in a 96% overall survival rate after two and a half years, while Keytruda alone resulted in 90.2% survival rate.
Personalized mRNA cancer vaccine therapy is a therapy that uses a personalized cancer vaccine based on mRNA vaccine technology to target existing tumors in patients. As of 2024, number of mRNA cancer vaccines are in clinical trials, of which many are personalized therapies based on engineering mRNA-mediated immune response that targets the patient's particular strain of cancer cells.
Delhi, Aug. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A significant breakthrough in cancer treatment was achieved with the initiation of the first mRNA lung cancer vaccine trials globally. This innovative project, featuring BioNTech’s BNT116, heralds the dawn of a transformative period in cancer therapy domain, with the potential to fundamentally change ...
mRNA-4157/V940 is an mRNA based cancer vaccine. When administered, it will produce one of several dozen possible abnormal proteins commonly found in cancerous tissues. The production of those proteins is intended to invoke an immune response. mRNA-4157/V940 is given to patients after their tumors have been sequenced and abnormal proteins ...
Research has been working on clinical use since the 1990s, with significant success in cancer therapy in the early 2010s. [1] In 2020 and 2021, mRNA vaccines have been developed globally for use in combating the coronavirus disease (COVID-19 pandemic). [2]
The study is currently enrolling patients with specific cancers – namely melanoma and non-small-cell lung cancer – to have low doses of mRNA-4359 with pembrolizuma, also known as Keytruda.
