The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is in a phase 2 trial of a mRNA vaccine against pancreatic cancer. The first phase found that the treatment prevented the spread of tumors in 8 of 16 patients.
I can confidently say that I understood maybe 5% of the Nature paper about the phase 1 trial linked in above article but my takeaway is that even 2 years after the study, 50% (8 of 16) of the patients who got the vaccine against pancreas cancer where attested with significantly higher amounts of T-Cells. I can imagine this is pretty remarkable, considering the severity of that type of cancer.
I don’t know if the phase 2 trial still is open for patients but I 100% would try to contact them if I was a patient. I mean mRNA isn’t exactly new but over 30 years in the making.
Nevertheless I hope this will beat most cancers as well as cultured meat will beat the animal agriculture and renewable/fusion will beat nuclear/fossile. Image the paradise that would be. I know thats naive considering the world rn.
BioNTech has several mRNA based cancer vaccines in different trial stages.
