Moderna expands the Field of mRNA Medicine with positive clinical results across infectious disease, cancer and rare disease
Posted on September 17, 2023
Moderna announces business updates across its franchises and introduces new development programs at the Company’s annual R&D Day. “Our mRNA platform is working. With today’s positive Phase 3 flu results, along with previous results in COVID and RSV, we are now three for three on advancing respiratory disease programs to positive Phase 3 data,” said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. “In the near term, we look forward to product launches in our oncology, latent, rare and infectious disease franchises.In the fourth quarter of this year, we also expect to provide data on our next-generation COVID and flu combination, mRNA-1083, and additional efficacy analysis on our Phase 2 INT study. With significant momentum across the business and our pipeline, we are excited by the near future and focused on execution.”
Moderna was built to use nature’s information molecule, mRNA, to treat and prevent disease. The premise has always been that an mRNA-based approach to making medicine could advance at the pace of information, leveraging common science to create medicines addressing high unmet needs at unprecedented speed and efficiency.
The Company has advanced a diverse pipeline and demonstrated the potential for clinical benefit in cancer (mRNA-4157), in three different rare diseases (mRNA-3705, mRNA-3927, mRNA-3745), and multiple infectious disease vaccines (mRNA-1273, mRNA-1345, mRNA-1010). The Company has advanced six programs into late-stage development, including two approved or filed for approval, and three more that have completed Phase 3 enrollment. The Company expects to double the number of programs in Phase 3 by 2025 and launch up to 15 products in five years across cancer, rare disease, and infectious disease. Up to four of those launches could come by 2025.
Staying true to its mission, over the next five years the Company will continue to invest in science to expand the field of mRNA medicine into new frontiers and expects to advance up to 50 new candidate medicines into clinical trials across established and new modalities.
