What the paper reports

Researchers selected eight hemagglutinin sequences to represent circulating swine influenza diversity and evaluated individual and multivalent mRNA vaccines in pigs. The multivalent formulation elicited responses against its component antigens and protected against lung lesions after the tested challenge. This large-animal veterinary study supports adaptable multivalent design, while protection across untested strains and direct relevance to human influenza remain unresolved.

Why this paper is included

Adds large-animal evidence for multivalent RNA vaccination; the challenge design does not establish universal strain coverage or human protection.

The interpretation above is analysis, not a conclusion attributed to the original source.

Moderna raises 2026 revenue outlook after third-quarter growth

Moderna reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.3 billion, up 29% year over year, and GAAP net income of $162 million, compared with a $200 million loss a year earlier. It raised expected full-year revenue growth to 15%–25% from up to 10%. The company attributed quarterly growth mainly to international COVID vaccine sales supported by government partnerships.

Ethris reports exploratory antiviral and exposure-response signals for nasal ETH47 in asthma

Ethris reported topline results from a randomized Phase 2a rhinovirus-challenge study involving 50 adults with asthma. A single nasal dose of ETH47, an interferon-lambda-encoding mRNA candidate, produced local expression and lower day-two viral load. Symptom improvements were described as numerical trends; exposure-response subgroup findings remain exploratory, without established clinical efficacy.

Moderna reports initial mRNA-2808 T-cell engager results in multiple myeloma

Moderna reported initial Phase 1/2 MyEngage findings for mRNA-2808, which encodes three T-cell engagers. Four confirmed responses occurred among 11 response-evaluable patients. Twelve patients had received treatment; Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events occurred in 41.7%. These small, uncontrolled findings are preliminary and do not establish comparative benefit.
