“We are excited to enter the execution phase of our cancer vaccine development strategy with a study that is designed to establish proof-of-principle for our advanced second-generation mRNA backbone in oncology,” said Dr. Myriam Mendila, Chief Development Officer of CureVac. “We will use the study data to evaluate the ability of our second-generation mRNA backbone to raise strong tumor-directed immune responses and provide a firm foundation to further advance our oncology pipeline based on our potent vaccine platform and an unparalleled framework for antigen discovery.”
