Moderna, Inc. announced that three abstracts on its investigational mRNA therapeutics have been accepted for presentation at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, which will be held October 17-21, 2025 in Berlin, Germany. This includes a mini oral presentation on mRNA-4359, Moderna’s investigational mRNA-based therapy designed to elicit T-cell immune responses against tumor and immunosuppressive cells, as well as two poster presentations on intismeran autogene (V940/mRNA-4157).
