세계 첫 암백신 임상 3상 성공...개인맞춤형 항암치료 시대, 한 발짝 앞으로

Moderna and MSD (American Merck) are jointly developing an mRNA-based personalized treatment drug called 'Intismeilan Autozin' for cancer patients. This trial, the first of its kind globally, has shown promising results in the third-phase clinical study. The drug, often referred to as an 'immunocancer vaccine,' combines targeted therapy with immunotherapy to treat melanoma, a type of skin cancer.

In a study of 1,137 patients, combining the drug with 'Kitruda' chemotherapy significantly reduced the risk of recurrence and metastasis in high-risk patients with melanoma after complete surgical removal. The results indicate that this personalized treatment approach could redefine the way we approach cancer therapy.
