Moderna and China’s CARsgen Therapeutics are collaborating to combine their respective mRNA therapeutic cancer vaccine with a solid tumor CAR T cell therapy, the Chinese biotech announced on Monday.

The companies contend that their updated COVID-19 vaccines for the fall vaccination season can elicit strong immune responses against the virus’ currently dominant and emerging subvariants.

As the public’s interest in COVID-19 products continues to wane and the autoimmune medicine Humira settles into life without exclusivity, the anti-cancer agent Keytruda is set to rule the drug marketplace for years to come.

It’s summer 2023. By now, many of us have “emerged”, as they say. We are getting out and about and making up for the lost time of the past three years. And much of this progress is thanks to the COVID-19 vaccines and treatments from Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna, which played a major role in helping us put the pandemic in the rearview mirror.

In a less-than-shocking development, the top drugs of the launch class of 2021 were all for preventing or treating everyone’s least favorite virus.

Moderna expects $6 billion to $8 billion in sales from its COVID shots this year, up from its previous forecast of $5 billion, driven by potential U.S. demand for 50 to 100 million doses in the fall season.

Global recruitment for the trial has begun, with the first patients being enrolled in Australia, the companies said, adding that the study would take place in more than 25 countries around the world.

The company announced it started the application process to get an approval for its respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine in older adults with regulators in the United States, Australia and Europe.

The vaccine maker said today it had signed a memorandum of understanding and a land collaboration agreement to work towards opportunities for it to research, develop and manufacture mRNA medicines in China.

The U.S. biotech firm Moderna submitted a regulatory application to the European Medicines Agency.
