A personalized drug based on mRNA technology was used: BNT122. Biontech tested the drug on patients suffering from pancreatic cancer who had already had an operation. The study results show that BNT122 caused an immune reaction in half of the patients – eight out of 16 participants. In particular, an increase in active T cells was noticeable. Patients who responded positively to the drug experienced a longer period of time without cancer recurrence.
