New mRNA Vaccine Reduces Risk of Melanoma Recurrence by Over 40 Percent

WIRED

The vaccine is personalized to a patient's tumor, and results from the Phase 3 trial are yet another example of the promise of mRNA vaccines in treating cancer. The new mRNA vaccine is waiting on FDA approval but has shown great promise in Phase 3 clinical trials. An experimental vaccine offers new hope to patients with melanoma, one of the most aggressive forms of skin cancer . The pharmaceutical companies Merck and Moderna released the results of a Phase 3 clinical trial that evaluated the efficacy of a personalized mRNA-based vaccine that, when combined with immunotherapy, reduced the risk of disease recurrence or death by 42 percent compared to treatment with the immunotherapy drug alone. Georgina Long, medical director of the Australian Melanoma Institute and the study's principal investigator, said in a statement that these results are "transformative" and "have the potential to make a foundational shift in how we treat patients with earlier-stage melanoma."

The idea isn't to replace exercise but to bring its upsides to people who struggle with frailty, disability, or chronic illness. It will take a lot of experimentation to untangle the myriad pathways by which exercise promotes health.

A New Headset to Help With Depression Is Now Available in the US

But at the current four-figure price tag, it might take a while for the futuristic-looking headset to catch on with patients. Worn on the forehead for 30 minutes a day and operated with an app, the device provides low-intensity electrical stimulation to the left frontal lobe of the brain, an area involved in regulating mood and emotions.
