JUST IN and via @Merck + @moderna_tx: A landmark moment for cancer immunotherapy. 🎯
Phase 3 INTerpath-001 is positive: the individualized mRNA neoantigen therapy intismeran (V940/mRNA-4157) + pembrolizumab significantly improved both RFS/DMFS vs pembrolizumab alone after resection of high-risk melanoma.
For years, the idea of designing a treatment around the unique mutations of each patient’s tumor seemed aspirational. Now we have the first positive Phase 3 trial (N=1137) of an individualized neoantigen therapy—and of an mRNA-based cancer therapy.
Personalized cancer vaccines are moving from promise to reality.
Now we need to see the magnitude of benefit, durability, and ultimately OS. But today is an important day for the field—and hopefully for our patients. 👏
Congrats to #CathyWu @DanaFarber for her trailblazing research that is materializing in tangible outcomes! At @DanaFarber_GU we are closely working with Cathy + @DFCI_NeoVax team on several GU protocols, after our @Nature work with @BraunMDPhD et al (https://t.co/BdbKJqMKOw)
