Moderna to Present Promising Phase 1/2 Clinical and Safety Data for Cancer Antigen Therapy mRNA-4359 at ESMO 2025

Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) is one of the best high volume stocks to buy according to Wall Street analysts. On October 13, Moderna announced that promising clinical, safety, and translational data from its Phase 1/2 study evaluating the investigational immune-evasion targeted cancer antigen therapy/CAT mRNA-4359 would be presented at the 2025 European Society for Medical Oncology/ESMO Congress.

mRNA-4359 is an immune-evasion targeted CAT that encodes epitopes of two common immune escape pathways: PD-L1 and IDO1. Its dual mechanism of action is designed to elicit antigen-specific T-cell responses to both directly kill tumor cells expressing PD-L1 and IDO1, and deplete immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment, aiming to establish an immune-permissive state for sustained anti-tumor activity.
