Moderna and Merck say mRNA vaccine prevents melanoma relapse in trial
GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine has SUCCEEDED in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. Phase III trial results in MORE THAN 1,100 patients shows the vaccine SIGNIFICANTLY extended the time patients lived without their melanoma returning AND reduced the risk of metastasis.
Chise99A personalized cancer vaccine from Moderna called Intismeran (formally known as mRNA-1457) used in combination with Merck’s cancer immunotherapy Keytruda shows promise in keeping deadly skin cancer from returning for years, according to new clinical trial results. The mRNA-based vaccine was tested
PlagueRat, Clan Virulitch PlaguePriest24This is so cool! mRNA vaccines are such a great invention and that the government is run by people who are scared of them is a tragedy that will go down in the history books.
Skooma Cat14This is like the only thing keeping me sane right now. My 28 year old brother got diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma of unknown origin last month and I was initially still in the headspace of when I was growing up and hearing that would be a death sentence.
Ms Hart10got diagnose with basal cell carcinoma yesterday, and it's been there 3 years, I'm scared
Kira Leigh 🏳️⚧️9thank you for the good news. it's very appreciated. :)
Mandalee6How many stages of trials does a treatment like this need to go through, Chise? Such exciting news - lots of folks in Australia will be overjoyed by this 🥰
Chris Franklin108this is fantastic news for countries with healthcare and science
Mira48the fact we have *MULTIPLE* vaccines for different types of cancer in the works and proving successful is honestly game changing. this is going to save countless lives and the fact that this is built off of mRNA research from covid vaccines!!!!!
TheProxyGuy20Sign me the fuck up
Dustin Moskovitz16why did they call it a melanoma vaccine and not just nomamelanoma?
rondezvousWA12I love this so much. My aunt Jeanne died of melanoma in her forties, when I was 13. My friend from college Lisa, a mother of two young girls, died in her thirties, from it as well. Hoping so hard on this.
Smörhuvud (he/surprise me)9Lifesaving news for me, the whitest man on earth

Kieran8this'll be welcome here in new zealand.
Anomalous Jen8Holy fuck yeah batman! Good news!!
austin (e/chicken 🐔)7floridians, famously a high social-trust state,
American drug companies Merck and Moderna have created a vaccine that has stopped skin cancer returning in patients during a trial. Each vaccine is created specifically for an individual patient by sequencing DNA from patient's tumor and using mRNA to create the vaccine.
Sandy James26How long before this administration stops this research???
Liberal Libbie21Fucking AMAZING! As a cancer survivor this is so encouraging!
Crickets16So will health insurance pay for it or let us die? That's the real question.
Neil-1936.bsky.social15This is the future of medicine - treatment customized to an individual’s DNA.
epicurious.bsky.social12Presumably, the anti-vaxxers won’t want any of this nasty mRNA stuff injected into them, in case they die. Oh.
Jan Kirsch, M.D., M.P.H.10And a Phase 1 study from Memorial Sloan-Kettering just showed long term disease-free survival in many pancreatic cancer patients using a personalized mRNA vaccine.
Cathy Gellis15I want this for ovarian cancer, please.
Jen Phelan 🇨🇦15American drug companies doing excellent work on vaccines as cancer treatment that will be derided by the HHS Secretary!
The Desert Veteran12That's great news, but will the insurance companies, RFK JR & the Regime allow the vaccine to be released.
TrueShu💙💙💙5Vaccine breakthrough stops skin cancer from returning in a trial!!! What a fantastic step in the right direction.
70andexhausted.bsky.social5Another chapter in the continuing saga of WHY WE NEED SCIENCE
Joel Jacobson❌👑🇨🇦4Keep it under wraps don’t let RFK Jr know about it! For fuck sakes it’s really sad that HHS Secretary is hurting us and not helping us & has no experience in the field of immunology. But hey, he kisses the King’s Fat Ass and look where it got him? To our detriment unfortunately.
Dario3Believe and fund science. This is awesome.
Billy Juggernaut Antifa3Uh oh. Maga then: if trump cured cancer democrats would oppose it! MAGA now: this cancer vaccine is an mRNA vaccine. We can’t allow it!
C.2Yes! 👍 SCIENCE WINS AGAIN ‼️
justdeirdre.bsky.social2Vaccine denial is one way to thin the Herd. This is known as biohacking where you use the body own immune system to heal itself.
The news of the successful mRNA melanoma vaccine trial is incredible. I lost my beautiful best friend to melanoma on Christmas Eve 2011, when she was 29. That anyone would try to limit research on such life-saving technology infuriates me like nothing else.
Elizabeth McN5Fabulous, especially for people like me, 2x melanoma survivor, and someone stressed about relapse/new spots.
Mark5Nevertheless, SOMEONE WILL try to halt it in its tracks. I’m betting their last name will be tRUMP.
Gen X Antifa Kitty 🐈⬛4We’ve been using melanoma vaccines on dogs for years and more recently with gilvetmab. Kinda like Keytruda. Still too early to see if gilvetmab works tho. Most people can’t afford it.
norasocial.bsky.social3And they will try to discredit it as they have done with the vaccine against HPV
Richard, Toad the Just, Earl of Sausagetoad 🇬🇧 🇺🇸🌊3They really are trying to kill us.
jtowne.bsky.social3My friend is fighting recurring melanoma, and I had stage 3, so this is really giving us both hope
Merck and Moderna say their mRNA cancer vaccine worked in a late-stage melanoma trial. A roadkill eating nepo baby heroin addict says all it will do is give people autism. For busy melanoma patients, it can be hard to know who to trust.
Mel6As a former busy stage 3 melanoma patient* (20 years cancer-free this year!) and an autistic person, I’m telling you right now that only one of these things is deadly. I would think that people would rather have a touch of the ‘tism than be dead. *cancer treatment is a full-time job
Dr. Ruth Tomato4One of your best. Well done.
Señor Juanton3Holistic reflexology consultants Devrah “Moonray” Blaufeld and Three Moons Ionescu-Shakashvili question the safety of mRNA vaccines compared to healing crystals and ashwaganda suppositories
Pitchbot Reply Guy3OPINION| It's high time for liberals to finally concede the fight over Trump's name on the Kennedy Center.
Dave Fecak2You may be the first person to write “busy melanoma patients”. I’d google but I think I’m right.
John Brown1I thought you only did satire.
Scientists are making huge breakthroughs using mRNA vaccines to treat melanoma, pancreatic cancer, and other cancers. Meanwhile, RFK Jr has cancelled $500 million in funding for mRNA vaccine research. “Make America Healthy Again”
Chris⚖️Justice4Failure by Design. Epstein Class. No Justice
Marushka-T4And I remember RFK Jr saying that he wanted to ditch COVID-related research to focus on cancer. 🤡
Dr. Robert Karl4@luckytran.com have you seen this article yet? ysph.yale.edu/news-article...
Dr. Robert Karl3It’s all intentional. A sick, poor, and poorly educated population is easier to control.
Fury2My dipshit boomer Magat stepfather thinks the Dems are trying to murder 7 bil people from mRNA vaccines. The propaganda and hatred is real. They are useless idiots.

Becky C3Pancreatic cancer is brutal to treat, and the responders from phase 1 have mostly all just made it to the 6 year mark. The fields expanding fast, another mRNA vaccine trial targeting stage 4 cancers directly has just entered phase 1. Fortunately it’s in China. The hope is very real.
It’s the most promising technology in a generation & it’s awful that RFK Jr & Bhattacharya want to kill it It’s good the NYT cites experts untied to the trial We need to see the actual paper—we only have the “broad outline of the results” from the companies 1/2 www.nytimes.com/2026/08/19/s...
Prof Gavin Yamey MD MPH20Once we’ve had a chance to see the actual published research and to scrutinize it, if the results are as positive as the companies claim, it would be a truly stunning breakthrough—goosebumps & tears territory 2/2
VirusSucks.com3Bhattacharya needs to be tried for crimes humanity for promoting COVID infections in the GBD and his anti-vax sentiments. bsky.app/profile/gavi...
Ray2DJT should get all the profits because he has to put up with immigrants and poor people all the time and you know how annoying that can be. Plus he deserves it because he’s so kind hearted.
"An experimental mRNA-based vaccine succeeded in preventing cancer from coming back or spreading in a study of high-risk melanoma patients, Moderna and its partner Merck said Wednesday," www.wsj.com/health/pharm...
Pierre15Pensée [ non ] à tous les antivax qui comparaient les vaccins à ARNm à des crimes contre l’humanité
roseh0911.bsky.social8I’m a 3 times cancer survivor currently in remission with multiple myeloma. Our scientists have prolonged my life with their extremely impactful discoveries and I absolutely resent anyone getting in the way of all of our health.
The silver lining of the covid pandemic is the breakthrough in mRNA cancer treatment. Now imagine how much faster we could go if US research wasn’t hampered by funding constraints and an anti-science government. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...
John Roscoe4Canada is generally well-positioned to pick up the slack and advance that science, but those University funding constraints? They aren't just 'Stateside. What an excellent time to have not elected Doug Ford this would be!
MakesMeWannaUke🇨🇦3Perfect opportunity for Canada to take the lead I’m sure we have and can develop researchers. Whole medical, educational, manufacturing industry awaits
OpenERV2There has been some improved understanding of airborne disease transmission as well. Definitely not as much as we could use.
Mari2023 Part Owner Of Canada1I hope Canada is picking up some of these extraordinary talented researchers.
