Mechanism of action

This mRNA vaccine is designed to be personalized for each patient based on their tumor's unique mutation profile. It encodes multiple neoantigens derived from the patient's own cancer, which are presented to the immune system to generate CD8+ and CD4+ T-cell responses against tumor-specific mutations. The approach aims to enhance anti-tumor immunity and reduce recurrence risk.
