Moderna develops medicines built on messenger RNA (mRNA). Its products use mRNA delivered into cells to instruct them to produce specific proteins that can prevent or treat disease, with vaccines being a primary example. In practice, a dose delivers engineered mRNA into the body, cells translate it into a target protein, and the immune system responds or the protein modulates biology to combat disease. Moderna differentiates itself through its focus on building a whole mRNA medicines platform and in-house capabilities for designing, manufacturing, and scaling mRNA therapies, including rapid development and large-scale production. Its goal is to create a new category of medicines based on mRNA that can improve how diseases are discovered, developed, and treated, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

The FDA's vaccine advisory committee unanimously recommended Moderna's mRNA influenza vaccine, mFlusiva, for adults aged 50 and over on Thursday. This marks the committee's first review of a new vaccine application since 2023. All nine members of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee voted in favour despite sustained vaccine criticism from President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, who previously cancelled nearly $500 million in mRNA vaccine development contracts. The mRNA flu vaccine uses the same technology as COVID-19 vaccines and can be produced faster than traditional flu vaccines. Moderna's phase 3 trial showed the vaccine produced longer-lasting responses and antibodies recognising more flu strains. Over 6 billion mRNA vaccine doses have been administered globally since 2020. If approved, the vaccine could be available next flu season.
Elicio shares slide after pancreatic cancer vaccine falls short in mid-stage study. By Thomson Reuters Jun 15, 2026 | 9:58 AM By Sahil Pandey and Mariam Sunny June 15 (Reuters) - Elicio Therapeutics shares fell about 72% on Monday after the biotech firm's experimental pancreatic cancer vaccine failed to significantly extend the time patients lived without their disease returning, missing the main goal of a mid-stage study. The therapy, ELI-002 7P, is designed to deliver the treatment directly to the lymph nodes to boost immune responses against the cancer. The study enrolled 144 patients with pancreatic cancer linked to mutations in the KRAS gene, who had undergone surgery and standard treatment and were radiographically free of disease at enrolment, the company said. Elicio said about 19% of patients who received the treatment had higher levels of residual disease, increasing the risk of relapse, compared with about 10% in the control group, an imbalance the company said weighed on results. The trial carried the burden of generating the first randomized efficacy data for a KRAS-targeted cancer vaccine and its broad enrolment, regardless of residual disease, "may have blunted the detectable treatment effect," B. Riley analyst Mayank Mamtani said. He added that the "go-forward case" now rests on the late-stage study, which focuses on the patients with lower residual disease and evaluating additional dosing. Moderna is developing a personalized cancer vaccine, intismeran autogene, in combination with Merck's blockbuster drug Keytruda in patients with skin cancer. Unlike personalized treatments that must be custom-made for each patient, ELI-002 7P is ready to use, which simplifies manufacturing and reduces cost, Mamtani said. In patients with complete surgical clearance of cancer, representing about 84% of the study population, the therapy achieved an average disease-free survival of 23.8 months versus 12.8 months for control arm, which received only the standard-of-care, Elicio said. The therapy also showed a favorable safety profile, with no treatment-related discontinuations and fewer adverse events than the control arm, supporting potential long-term use and combination approaches, Elicio said. Elicio said it is currently evaluating multiple strategic financing and partnership opportunities. (Reporting by Sahil Pandey and Mariam Sunny in Bengaluru; Editing by Shailesh Kuber)
New AI tool detects brain tumors in minutes instead of days. Heteros demonstrates how AI-enabled digital pathology can revolutionize medical diagnostics. * Web Desk * June 11, 2026 HEIDELBERG, Germany: Scientists have developed an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) system capable of diagnosing brain tumors in just 12 minutes, a dramatic improvement over the current average diagnostic time of about 12 days. Researchers in Heidelberg, Germany, created the AI platform, known as Heteros, which can identify and classify brain tumors with remarkable speed and accuracy. Experts say the technology has the potential to transform the diagnosis of brain cancer worldwide. In recent years, researchers have found that many brain tumors can only be accurately diagnosed through detailed analysis of both their molecular characteristics and microscopic structure. However, such testing is often complex, requires specialized equipment, and can take up to two weeks to produce results. To address these challenges, German scientists developed the AI-powered system to make brain cancer diagnosis faster, simpler, and more accessible. Moritz Gerstung, a researcher at the German Cancer Research Center and one of the leaders of the project, said Heteros demonstrates how AI-enabled digital pathology can revolutionize medical diagnostics. He said the technology allows for rapid and widely accessible diagnostic methods that previously required highly sophisticated technical resources, potentially improving patient care and speeding up treatment decisions for those with brain cancer. Earlier, Researchers at the University of Oxford and pharmaceutical company Moderna have developed an experimental mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing cancer in people at high risk of developing bowel and ovarian cancers. The vaccine, however, has yet to undergo clinical testing and remains in the trial phase. Scientists say the vaccine is based on mRNA technology, which could eventually be used to prevent a wider range of cancers in the future. The research focuses on people with Lynch syndrome, an inherited condition that significantly increases the risk of several cancers, including those affecting the bowel, uterus, ovaries, stomach, pancreas, kidneys and skin.
Medical Innovation mRNA cancer vaccines 2026: Moderna mRNA-4157 hits 49% recurrence drop. Personalized mRNA cancer vaccines reached Phase 3 in 2026 for melanoma. Results, manufacturing pipeline, and what is next for lung and pancreatic. Dr. Sarah Mitchell (Certified Respiratory Therapist) June 4, 2026 Personalized cancer vaccines arrive. Moderna mRNA-4157 (intismeran autogene) + Keytruda hit its Phase 3 endpoint in 2026, cutting melanoma recurrence 49% vs Keytruda alone. How it works. 1. Tumor biopsy is sequenced 2. AI predicts up to 34 neoantigens unique to the patient 3. An mRNA vaccine encoding those neoantigens is manufactured in ~6 weeks 4. Six monthly doses train T cells to seek-and-destroy residual disease Pipeline 2026. * NSCLC: Phase 2 readout Q4 (BioNTech BNT116) * Pancreatic: Memorial Sloan Kettering personalized vaccine - 50% RFS at 3 years * Renal cell carcinoma: Phase 2 expanded Cost & access. ~$200K per course; Moderna is building a U.S. manufacturing campus in MA targeting 3-week turnaround. Why this matters. For the first time, immunotherapy can be truly individualized, sidestepping the immune-evasion tricks tumors use against checkpoint inhibitors alone. Explore related topics.
