Patient in small trial has no evidence of pancreatic cancer

A patient in a small trial of an mRNA vaccine for pancreatic cancer now has no evidence of the disease.

The cancer had been expected to kill her years ago.

Her outcome is an encouraging result for the experimental vaccine.

The trial is small, so one patient's outcome cannot show how well the vaccine works for other people.

The treatment is being tested against pancreatic cancer, but no further trial details are given.

The result is an early sign of what the vaccine might achieve, not proof that it can reliably treat the disease.
