Vaccine Type:mRNA
Routes Of Administration:Intramuscular

mRNA-5671 also known as V941 is a cancer vaccine candidate developed by Moderna.[1] It is a tetravalent vaccine that targets G12D, G12V, G13D or G12C driver mutations in the KRAS gene.[2] It is currently being evaluated for the treatment of either non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancers with microsatellite instability, or pancreatic adenocarcinoma, all with confirmed KRAS driver mutations.
In 2021 Merck dropped the trial,[3] [4] and clinicaltrials.gov study NCT03948763 ended 2022-08-25.[5] As of May 2024, no further progress on this vaccine has been announced.
