Immunological & Clinical Impact Assessment
Hazard Ratio (HR): 0.56 (95% CI: 0.31–0.98)44% Reduction in risk of recurrence or death.
Mechanism of Action: Injected synthetic mRNA encodes patient-specific neoantigens, translated by dendritic cells to prime polyclonal memory CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes against microscopic distant metastases while Pembrolizumab blocks PD-1 checkpoint exhaustion.
Polyclonality Benefit: Target breadth (3 high-affinity neoepitopes) prevents tumor antigen-loss escape variants compared to single-target modalities.
