Merck and Moderna announced positive Phase 3 INTerpath-001 results showing intismeran autogene plus KEYTRUDA reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 42% (HR=0.58, p<0.001) versus KEYTRUDA alone in resected stage IIB-IV melanoma. Distant metastasis-free survival also improved 38%, and a pre-specified analysis after six months showed a 58% reduction in recurrence risk. Two-year RFS was 82.2% versus 70.0% for control, with no new safety signals.
