RNAimmune will present a pre-clinical study showing the latest progress of mRNA cancer vaccine. The study shows that immunization of the mRNA vaccine can elicit T and B cell responses, which are crucial in anti-cancer immunotherapy, and inhibit tumor growth in the mouse model of colon cancer, prolonging survival. Notably, the anti-tumor effect is further enhanced in the combination of anti-PD1 antibody.
RAS is one of the most common mutated oncogenes in human cancer. Unfortunately, there is still a lack of specifically effective medication for most RAS-mutated cancer patients. For G12C-mutated patients, drug resistance frequently appears soon after targeted therapy. The reported Pan RAS mRNA cancer vaccine was designed and screened by RNAimmune, which owns its proprietary independent intellectual property rights. Its antitumor effects have been validated both in vitro and in vivo. The current program yielded outstanding antitumor activity, and RNAimmune plans to submit to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration an Investigational New Drug application after completion of the current dose titration study.
