Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Arm A: mRNA-2752EXPERIMENTALParticipants will be administered mRNA-2752 at an applicable dose as monotherapy.
Arm B: mRNA-2752 + DurvalumabEXPERIMENTALParticipants will be administered mRNA-2752 at an applicable dose in combination with durvalumab.
Arm C: mRNA-2752 Alone or mRNA-2752 + DurvalumabEXPERIMENTALParticipants will be administered mRNA-2752 at an applicable dose as monotherapy or in combination with durvalumab.
CLOSED:Pembrolizumab intralesionally (IL) x 2 doses (Escalation Phase)EXPERIMENTALParticipants, upon diagnosis with high risk DCIS, will be offered 2 doses of pembrolizumab injected intralesionally (IL) 3 weeks apart (+/- 1 week) with surgery 3 weeks (+/- 2 weeks) after the 2nd dose. The participant will then undergo the surgical treatment as determined by the surgeon and the participant (partial mastectomy or mastectomy).
CLOSED:Pembrolizumab IL x 4 doses (Expansion Phase)EXPERIMENTALParticipants, upon diagnosis with high risk DCIS, will be offered 4 doses of pembrolizumab injected intralesionally (IL) 3 weeks apart (+/- 1 week) with surgery 3 weeks (+/- 2 weeks) after the 4th dose. The participant will then undergo the surgical treatment as determined by the surgeon and the participant (partial mastectomy or mastectomy).
CLOSED:Pembrolizumab IL x 2 doses + mRNA 2752 IL x 2-4 doses (Expansion Phase)EXPERIMENTALParticipants, upon diagnosis with high risk DCIS, will be offered 2 doses of pembrolizumab and intralesional mRNA 2752 injected intralesionally (IL) 3 weeks apart (+/- 1 week) with surgery 3 weeks (+/- 2 weeks) after the 2nd dose. The participant will then undergo the surgical treatment as determined by the surgeon and the participant (partial mastectomy or mastectomy).
mRNA-2752 Monotherapy x 2-4 doses (Escalation Cohort)EXPERIMENTALParticipants will be offered up to 4 doses of mRNA-2752 injected intralesionally (IL) 3 weeks apart (+/- 1) week) with surgery or core biopsy 3 weeks (+/-1 week). The participants will proceed to biopsy, either image guided or excisional or partial mastectomy
mRNA-2752 x 2-4 doses with or without immune checkpoint inhibitor (Expansion Cohort)EXPERIMENTALParticipants will be will be offered injections of mRNA-2752 given on up to 4 occasions, 3 weeks apart (+/- 1 week) or a combination mRNA-2752 and immune checkpoint inhibitor will be given up to 4 occasions, 3 weeks apart (+/- 1 week). The participants will proceed to biopsy, either image guided or excisional or partial mastectomy.
No active treatmentNO_INTERVENTIONThe control group will proceed to surgery alone within a 4 month timeframe following the diagnosis of high risk DCIS.

Frequently asked questions about mRNA-2752

What is mRNA-2752?

mRNA-2752 is an investigational RNA therapy developed by Moderna, Inc. for intratumoral injection in advanced malignancies. It is being studied in dose escalation for relapsed or refractory solid tumor malignancies or lymphoma, and in dose expansion for triple negative breast cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, urothelial cancer, immune checkpoint refractory melanoma, and non-small cell lung cancer.

What does mRNA-2752 target?

mRNA-2752 targets OX40L, a protein. It is an intratumoral RNA therapy designed to express this target within the tumor environment. OX40L is the molecular target identified for the program, and the agent is classified as a protein-targeting RNA therapy in Moderna's oncology pipeline.

Who makes mRNA-2752?

mRNA-2752 is developed by Moderna, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker MRNA. Moderna is the sponsor of the clinical program evaluating the agent in advanced malignancies, including the dose escalation and dose expansion study in solid tumors and lymphoma.

What phase is mRNA-2752 in?

mRNA-2752 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA. The program includes a completed Phase 1 dose escalation study and an early Phase 1 study in high-risk ductal carcinoma in situ that is active but not recruiting.

What clinical trials is mRNA-2752 in?

mRNA-2752 has been studied in NCT03739931, a completed Phase 1 dose escalation and expansion trial of intratumoral injection in advanced malignancies with 134 participants across the United States, Australia, and Israel. It is also in NCT02872025, an active early Phase 1 immunotherapy study in high-risk ductal carcinoma in situ with 42 female participants in the United States.

Is mRNA-2752 the same as intralesional mRNA 2752?

Yes, intralesional mRNA 2752 is another name for mRNA-2752. Both refer to the same investigational Moderna RNA therapy given by intratumoral or intralesional injection. The name reflects the intralesional route of administration used in the clinical program for advanced malignancies.
