Thanks really great to see. Thinking a bit selfishly though not sure Prostate Cancer will be included unless I have missed something.? Not clear whether in or out ? Promising nonetheless less.

I haven’t seen detail of what cancers they are focusing on and aware that prostate cancer seems to be a tricky one in immunology terms.

The cancer vaccine phase 1 trial I have participated in OVM-200 has of course included it along with ovarian and non small cell lung cancer so fingers crossed it’s in the mix for the MRNA vaccine trial too.

Individualized cancer vaccines....targeting specific cancers and specific antigens... as I say," The Science is Coming !!!"... How far have we come in 5 years... I am watching the next 5 years with bated breath... Hold on to your hats folks, and keep them peepers on the science..

I’m with you on this! The science is coming ( even if they won’t tell me the results of my vaccine antibody test!)

"We believe that this should be possible for large amounts of patients before 2030," Sahin said."

I have been following mRNA ever since the Covid vaccine development. BioNTech already has a trial mRNA drug for PCa .. you can find it on their website.

I have been keeping an eye on this one also but I can't find any preliminary results or info. Hopefully they will build on this trial but it would be nice to know how it is going.
