What the paper reports

A design-of-experiments approach produced an SM-102-derived formulation with less hepatic reporter expression and preserved or improved expression after local administration. Experiments included intramuscular, intracerebroventricular, and intravitreal routes. Mechanistic analyses associated the change with altered protein binding, systemic exposure, and hepatocyte trafficking. These route-specific results support formulation optimization but do not demonstrate noninvasive access to the brain or eye.

Why this paper is included

Provides a practical strategy to reduce hepatic spillover from local dosing; expression and tolerability findings remain dependent on route and preclinical models.

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.
