Mirk and Moderna reach new skin cancer milestone
American pharmaceutical companies Merck and Moderna announced positive results from the final phase of trials for an experimental melanoma skin cancer vaccine using mRNA technology. The treatment, called "Incytemeran Autogen," showed a statistically significant improvement in disease-free survival rates when combined with the immunotherapy drug "Keytruda," compared to treatment with Keytruda alone, for patients with advanced stages of cancer after surgery. The therapy is based on personalized development for each patient according to tumor mutations, aiming to activate the immune system to attack cancer cells. Over 1,100 patients participated in the trial, and the companies plan to present the results at a medical conference and seek regulatory approval for the treatment. This collaboration marks the first positive outcome from a Phase 3 trial for a cancer treatment based on mRNA technology, one of the modern, personalized methods to combat deadly skin cancer, which diagnosed over 330,000 new cases worldwide in 2022.
