Patients know why a treatment does not fit their lives. Does that knowledge reach the decision-makers?

In our interview, Matt Toresco argues for involving patients earlier and showing how their input was used.

A 14-protein signature was linked to lung cancer risk years before diagnosis

The idea of detecting the biology of cancer before the diagnosis is wild.

🚨 BREAKING NEWS: The first-ever personalized mRNA cancer vaccine has successfully cleared Phase 3 clinical trials.

Pharmaceutical giants Merck and Moderna announced that their experimental mRNA cancer vaccine, intismeran, achieved positive results in its late-stage Phase 3 trial. Designed to treat high-risk melanoma patients whose tumors had been surgically removed, the individualized vaccine was paired with the immunotherapy drug Keytruda.

The combination met its primary and secondary endpoints by significantly reducing the risk of the cancer returning or spreading to other organs compared to using Keytruda alone. This milestone marks the first time a personalized mRNA-based cancer therapy has successfully cleared the final phase of clinical testing.

The customized therapy works by genetically sequencing a patient's unique tumor and utilizing mRNA technology to instruct their immune system to target up to 34 distinct cancer markers. Rather than a preventative vaccine, it functions as a highly targeted therapeutic tool tailored to a patient's exact cellular blueprint. With positive safety profiles and mostly minimal side effects reported, researchers are optimistic that this breakthrough could soon be adapted to combat other aggressive diseases like lung, bladder, and pancreatic cancers. The companies plan to present the full data at an upcoming medical meeting and engage with regulatory authorities to seek accelerated approval.
