CureVac and the University of Texas’s MD Anderson Cancer Center have announced a co-development and licensing agreement to develop novel messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-based cancer vaccines.
The strategic collaboration will focus on the development of differentiated cancer vaccine candidates in selected haematological and solid tumour indications with high unmet medical needs.
Solid tumour cancer, such as sarcoma, carcinoma and lymphoma, is characterised by an abnormal mass of tissue that usually does not contain cysts or liquid areas.
