BioNTech/Genentech Autogene Cevumeran Pancreatic Cancer Vaccine Shows Durable T-Cell Response at Six Years

Nearly half of participants in a Phase 1 trial of BioNTech/Genentech's personalized mRNA neoantigen vaccine autogene cevumeran remain alive up to six years after treatment, with T-cell responses showing no signs of waning. Eight of 16 patients produced durable CD8+ T cells targeting tumor neoantigens after nine doses, with the immune memory still detectable at six-year follow-up. A Phase 2 trial is underway.
