On Monday, Merck & Co Inc MRK and Moderna, Inc. MRNA introduced the initiation of INTerpath-009, a pivotal Part 3 trial of V940 (mRNA-4157).
V940 is an investigational individualized neoantigen remedy below improvement together with Keytruda (pembrolizumab) as adjuvant therapy for resectable Stage II, IIIA or IIIB (N2) non-small cell lung most cancers (NSCLC) sufferers who didn’t obtain a pathological full response (pCR) after receiving neoadjuvant Keytruda plus platinum-based chemotherapy.
International recruitment in INTerpath-009 has begun, and the primary sufferers have began enrolling in Canada.

Merck and Moderna have initiated Part 3 trials evaluating mRNA-4157 (V940) together with Keytruda as an adjuvant therapy in sufferers with resected high-risk (Stage IIB-IV) melanoma (INTerpath-001) and non-small cell lung most cancers (INTerpath-002).
In 2024, Merck and Moderna additionally initiated a two-part Part 2/3 trial evaluating mRNA-4157 together with Keytruda as neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy for resectable domestically superior Stage II-IV cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (INTerpath-007), a Part 2 trial of mRNA-4157 (V940) plus Keytruda as adjuvant therapy for intermediate-high-risk, high-risk, or M1 no proof of illness renal cell carcinoma (INTerpath-004), and a Part 2 trial of mRNA-4157 plus Keytruda as adjuvant therapy for high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma post-radical resection (INTerpath-005).
In June, the businesses unveiled the primary presentation of outcomes from a deliberate evaluation from the Part 2b KEYNOTE-942/mRNA-4157-P201 examine.
With a median follow-up of roughly three years (34.9 months), adjuvant therapy with mRNA-4157 (V940) together with Keytruda continued to display a clinically significant and sturdy enchancment in recurrence-free survival (RFS), the first endpoint of the examine, lowering the chance of recurrence or dying by 49% in contrast with Keytruda alone.
