they started trials in june - would be nice if it works.
...the head of the Gamaleya Institute, Aleksandr Gintsburg, described the new drug, noting that it is a therapeutic vaccine, which will be administered to those already diagnosed with cancer. It was created on the basis of mRNA technology, which has already been used by drug manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna for making vaccines against Covid-19. Gintsburg noted that the new vaccine can be used for any type of cancer.
“They will be individual, designed for a specific person… The technology makes it possible to create within cells a very large concentration of the target antigen, the protein that the vaccine developer encoded in this mRNA. This is necessary in order to show the immune system of a person with cancer how to distinguish a healthy cell from a malignant one,” Gintsburg explained.
