Can we get a correction on this headline, or consider using the primary source [0]? The current title is inaccurate - clinicaltrials.gov reports 5 active studies with BioNTech‘a mRNA vaccine, BNT122 [1]. First-in-human solid tumor data was reported by Braiteh et al at AACR last year [2].
The headline should read: “First patient dosed in Phase II trial of mRNA-based vaccine for colorectal cancer.”
This is just an announcement saying that they have given the treatment to the 1st of a planned 200 patients in a trial. They will use that trial to determine the efficacy but they don’t have any results yet. There is no indication in the article for when they expect to see results.
The headline should read: “First patient dosed in Phase II trial of mRNA-based vaccine for colorectal cancer.”
