What was different this time?

What is it about mRNA technology that enables the immune system to learn in a way that other approaches were enable?

gets regulated here?

Because every dose is different, so obviously every dose doesn't get approved.

Hi, welcome to the A6Z Podcast.

I'm Jorge Conde, a general partner on the A6 and Z Bio and Health team.

I am thrilled today to welcome back Moderna CEO, Stefan Bonsell.

For folks that have been longtime listeners may recall, Stefan joined us on the A6 and Z podcast back in December of 2020.

when we were talking about all of the work Moderna did to bring us the MRNA COVID vaccine.

And at the time, if you can go back and listen to that episode, you'll hear how quickly Moderna was able to react to the existence of the virus, to analyze it, to essentially print a vaccine that would protect people against the COVID nineteen vaccine and hence put us in a much better position with respect to the COVID pandemic.

We titled it that episode The Machine That Made the Vaccine.

And the reason why we're talking again today in August 2026 is because Moderna has put out news on a really big advancement on what they can do with mRNA technology when it comes to cancer.

And so I wanna hand it over to you, Stefan.

Again, a very big welcome.

Thank you for coming back.

But maybe the place to start is let's lead with the news.

Moderna and Merck announced earlier this month in August that you had conducted a phase three clinical trial in melanoma and have gotten very encouraging results.

So why don't I hand it over to you and tell us what have you announced, what have you seen in this phase three trial?

And then I do want to dig in into what Moderna is doing in cancer.
