“This is one of the most exciting things we’ve seen in a long time,” said Dr. Heather Shaw, researcher and national coordinator of the trial.

The University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is carrying out a final phase 3 trial of the first personalized messenger RNA vaccine against skin cancer in the United Kingdom, local media reported this Friday.

Doctors have begun testing hundreds of patients with new, custom-designed injections that tell their bodies to look for cancer cells to prevent the disease from coming back.

“This is one of the most exciting things we’ve seen in a long time,” said Dr. Heather Shaw, researcher and national coordinator of the trial.

“This is a really perfected tool […] “Patients are really excited about it,” he added.

In this sense, he pointed out that mRNA-4157 (V940) has the potential to cure people who have melanoma, but that it is also being tested in other types of cancer, including lung, bladder and kidney cancer.
