It uses the same messenger-RNA technology as some Covid-19 vaccines.
Researchers say they have successfully completed a trial of a personalised cancer vaccine that uses the same messenger-RNA technology as Covid jabs.
Doctors hope work such as this could lead to revolutionary new ways to fight skin, bowel and other types of cancer.Other pharmaceutical companies are looking to run similar studies. Patients taking Keytruda for advanced melanoma were less likely to die, or have the skin cancer reoccur, if they also had the jab, mRNA-4157/V940, Moderna and Merck said.More trials will be needed to check how effective the treatment might be.
"It's shown a 44% relative reduction in the risk of dying of cancer or having your cancer progress. That's an important finding and I think it has the potential to be a new paradigm in the treatment of cancer patients."Tailormade to match each patient's cancer, the vaccine is very expensive to make - although, the company has not named a price.
