Researchers say that the combination of an experimental mRNA vaccine and an immunotherapy pembrolizumab dramatically reduced the likelihood of melanoma recurring or causing death by 44% when compared to the immunotherapy by itself.
Study results so far led the United States Food and Drug Administration to grant Breakthrough Therapy Designation to mRNA-4157/V940 in combination with pembrolizumab in February.
