Moderna (MRNA) stock has surged over 800% in the past year, driven by optimism around its cancer vaccine, intismeran, developed with Merck (MRK). Clinical trials showed a 42% reduction in melanoma recurrence and death when combined with Merck's Keytruda. However, mass production may be challenging due to its personalized nature, potentially limiting profitability. Analysts project over $5 billion in peak annual sales for melanoma treatment alone, but approval and scalability remain uncertain.

Medtronic announced that its Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system showed significant blood pressure reductions in the SPYRAL AFFIRM study, with OSBP dropping -18.2 mmHg, home BP -9.4 mmHg, and 24-hour ABPM -9.7 mmHg at six months. The FDA approved updated labeling for the system, expanding clinical evidence for patients with ISH, CKD, and type 2 diabetes. According to Dr. David Kandzari, the results are clinically significant and may reduce major adverse cardiovascular events by over 20%.
