Merck and Moderna Inc. have initiated the phase III randomized INTerpath-002 trial evaluating V940 (mRNA-4157), an investigational individualized neoantigen therapy (INT), in combination with Keytruda as adjuvant treatment in patients with completely resected (R0) Stage II, IIIA or IIIB (with nodal involvement [N2]) non-small cell lung cancer.
An investigational therapy significantly shrank lung cancer tumors that are notoriously resistant to treatment by encouraging an attack from natural killer cells in an animal model, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows. The findings, published in the Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer, could lead to new types of immunotherapy that rely on this novel strategy.
