“Any decision concerning clinical trials is made with utmost care, keeping patients as our highest priority,” said Prof. Özlem Türeci, M.D., Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer at BioNTech. “While this outcome is not what we had envisioned for mRNA as a monotherapy in colorectal cancer, it provides scientific insight into the challenges of treating immunotherapy-insensitive tumor types with immune-suppressive microenvironments and will help inform the further development of investigational mRNA cancer immunotherapies. We remain committed to mRNA as a key pillar in our oncology strategy and our novel-novel combination approaches. We are deeply grateful to the patients, families, investigators and site teams whose participation has made this important research possible.”
