Most people only became familiar with mRNA vaccines during the Covid-19pandemic, but new research has found that a mRNA skin cancer vaccine cansignificantly reduce death in people who have suffered from melanoma.
The research, being presented at the 2024 American Society of ClinicalOncology’s annual meeting by Australian of the Year Professor Georgina Long,found that the developed vaccine, when given in combination with animmunotherapy drug, resulted in an increased survival rate for people who hadsuffered from melanoma.
Dr Kyle Holden, Moderna’s senior vice president and head of development,said the findings highlighted the benefit of the combined treatment for peoplewith high-risk melanomas that had been removed.
“These findings reinforce our commitment to advancing this innovativetreatment,” he said in a statement.
“We are dedicated to harnessing mRNA technology to potentially transformcancer therapy and improve patient outcomes.”
Moderna and Merck, the two pharmaceutical companies who funded thevaccine, will launch phase-three studies for people “with high-risk melanomaand non-small cell lung cancer”.
Melanoma is a highly aggressive form of skin cancer, with more than15,000 Australians diagnosed each year, and is considered one of the worstbecause it spreads through the body.
mRNA vaccines
Messenger RNA may have been new to many people in recent years,researchers have been studying and working with the vaccines for the flu, zikavirus and rabies for decades.
They work by creating a protein, or part of the virus, when injected,resulting in the body’s immune system learning how to create a response to it,compared to traditional vaccines that contain an inactive microbe of the viruswhich then creates the immune response.
In the simplest terms, mRNA serves as an instruction manual for thebody, while traditional vaccines stimulate the immune response with a deadversion of the virus.
The research found that the two-and-a-half-year survival rate of themRNA vaccine was 74.8 per cent, compared to 55.6 per cent for just theimmunotherapy drug, representing a substantial increase.
Australia’s cancer
Australia has one of the highest melanoma rates in the world, so itshouldn’t be a surprise that Long, who is the co-director of the MelanomaInstitute Australia, is presenting the findings.
Two-thirds of Australians will experience melanoma in their lifetime androughly 2000 die each year from skin cancer.

It is expected that 16,800 Australians, or one every 30 minutes, will bediagnosed with melanoma in 2024.
Australia’s current national cancer plan aims to maximise cancer prevention and early detection, while informing people on the risks of not wearing sunscreen.
The vaccine research follows another promising treatment being discovered by Australian researchers earlier in this year.

They don't seem to quote percentages???
Suspect! Should one have good results most mention actual figures. Imo.
They'll have to heal completely at near 100% to compete with IMU!
