Moderna and Merck ( MRK +12.60% ) are co-developing an experimental mRNA-based therapy, intismeran autogene, that's designed to activate an anti-tumor immune response based on the unique mutations of a patient's tumor. The two companies announced positive clinical trial results from a Phase 3 study evaluating intismeran in combination with Merck's Keytruda immunotherapy in patients with high-risk melanoma that had their tumors surgically removed.
