flag Modest cancer drug shows promise in tough melanoma cases, with 24% response rate in early trial.

flag Moderna presented early Phase 1/2 trial results for its experimental cancer therapy mRNA-4359 at the 2025 ESMO Congress, showing a 24% objective response rate and 60% disease control rate in 29 patients with advanced melanoma resistant to prior immunotherapies when treated with mRNA-4359 plus pembrolizumab. flag Patients whose tumors expressed PD-L1 had a 67% response rate. flag The therapy triggered targeted T cell responses and new T cell receptor clones, with no new safety concerns and a median duration of response not yet reached. flag mRNA-4359 targets PD-L1 and IDO1 to activate the immune system against cancer. flag The treatment is being studied in ongoing trials for melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer, offering potential for patients with limited options.
