Intismeran autogene (intismeran; V940 or mRNA-4157), a novel investigational mRNA-based individualized neoantigen therapy, plus Keytruda (pembrolizumab) improved recurrence-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival as an adjuvant treatment for patients with completely resected stage 2B-4 melanoma, according to results of the phase III INTerpath-001 trial. 
Rasonque (daraxonrasib) consistently provided an overall survival benefit compared with chemotherapy across all evaluated RAS genotype subgroups among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma, including those with no identified tumor RAS mutation, according to exploratory subgroup analyses from the phase III RASolute 302 trial.
Camupepimut (ELI-002 7P) demonstrated consistent and favorable treatment-effect trends in patients with and without detectable baseline ctDNA and in patients without prior radiation across multiple pre-specified analyses, according to the results of a randomized phase II study of patients with resected pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma called AMPLIFY-7P.
