Scientists Rapidly Advancing Cancer Vaccine Prospects Using Same Technology as Covid-19 Shots - Seite 3

"We are making progress on enrolling patients in our rare disease programs, and we are fully enrolled in our personalized cancer vaccine trial," said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. "We believe this is just the beginning of a new age of information-based medicines."

Moderna's candidate personalized cancer vaccine (PCV) (mRNA-4157) is being studied in combination with Merck's pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA), compared to pembrolizumab alone, for the adjuvant treatment of high-risk resected melanoma is fully enrolled

However, not all mRNA cancer vaccines are having a smooth ride. Back in August, CureVac N.V. (NASDAQ:CVAC) announced that its partners Boehringer Ingelheim terminated their partnership on a mRNA lunch cancer vaccine—a $600 million partnership deal, gone.

CureVac said that Boehringer Ingelheim moved to terminate the collaboration agreement on BI1361849 in June, effective in November.

"The legacy program, targeting specific immune responses against tumor-associated antigens frequently overexpressed in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), applies an older protamine formulation technology, which reflected the state of the technology development at the time," said CureVac in a statement.

CureVac also said that a phase 1/2 test in NSCLC with BI1361849 as a combo therapy "is ongoing," and that both companies "are currently assessing options to continue a collaboration on CureVac's RNA technology platform based on state-of-the-art LNP-based formulations."
