TalkOnPointTBPN on Moderna’s Cancer Therapy Leak and Stock Drop
TBPN described the “Moderna drama” as leaked clinical data from Moderna’s cancer therapy after speculation that the company had “cured cancer.” The hosts said that phrase was overly broad, while describing the results as promising. The show said Moderna had announced that its 1,137-patient phase-three trial succeeded without giving the underlying number. Detailed results then leaked two days before the scheduled presentation.
Direct answer
According to TBPN, the “Moderna drama” centered on leaked phase-three data for Moderna’s cancer therapy after speculation that the company had “cured cancer,” a phrase the hosts said was too broad. Moderna had announced trial success without releasing the key figure. The leaked data showed 42% relative-risk reduction, below an earlier 49% phase-two figure. TBPN said the trial still succeeded, but the result disappointed investors; Moderna fell 26% intraday and closed down 18%.
