AI summary

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. TBPN contrasted an earlier 49% relative-risk reduction with a later phase-three result of 42%.

After screenshots of the embargoed data circulated on X, the show said Moderna fell 26% intraday and closed down 18%. The hosts described a patient-specific mRNA vaccine based on tumor mutations and used with Merck’s Keytruda. They also said the treatment appeared to start working after about six months, making it less useful for fast-growing cancers. TBPN also discussed Shane “Togi” Stofer’s options trade before the leak, presenting the timing as a lucky outcome rather than a reliable strategy.
