Pharmaceutical giants Moderna and Merck said Wednesday that an experimental vaccine treatment has shown signs of preventing cancer from returning or spreading in a study of high-risk melanoma patients.

According to a news release, the mRNA-based vaccine was tested in a late-stage trial involving people who’d already had surgery to remove a melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. The study involved a personalized cancer vaccine called Intismeran, produced by Merck and Moderna, administered in combination with Merck’s cancer immunotherapy Keytruda. 

Interim results from the trial show that the vaccine-drug combo appeared to extend the time before cancer returned in high-risk patients, according to the release, though the companies did not say for how long.

Merck and Moderna described the results as the first breakthrough of its kind. They said the study would continue to examine overall survival rates following the treatment.

Too bad some stutter-throated scumbag would probably stand in the way of the proper development and distribution of such a miracle.
