Moderna did not set a numeric approval threshold or confirm a 2027 pivotal-data timeline for mRNA-4359 in melanoma. For mRNA-2808, management highlighted safety, response occurrence and durability in heavily pretreated myeloma, but did not provide numeric success criteria or describe a plan to study the therapy earlier in the treatment pathway.

For mRNA-4359, what efficacy bar would support approval in first- or second-line melanoma, and could it produce pivotal data in 2027? For the T-cell engager in multiple myeloma, what would constitute positive data in a refractory population, and is there a strategy to study it earlier in the treatment pathway?
The company did not define a numeric approval bar. For a potential single-arm, second-line study, management said the bar is a sufficiently high response rate with sufficient durability, while acknowledging that there is no settled definition of “sufficiently high.” In PD-1-relapsed or refractory disease, the key test is whether activity is meaningfully above what would normally be expected. 1
For first-line melanoma, the company is evaluating combinations, including with nivolumab plus ipilimumab; it has also described earlier pembrolizumab-combination data as intriguing. The relevant evidence would be that the combination can be administered safely and shows a signal of increased activity, although management cautioned that single-arm combination trials can make it difficult to attribute activity specifically to mRNA-4359. 1
Pivotal data in 2027 remain possible only as a prospect, not company guidance. Management said the ongoing Phase II expansion is intended first to confirm whether the observed signal is real and identify the best opportunity—first line or second line and later—and explicitly declined to get ahead of whether the program will become pivotal. The filing identifies the Phase II program in both first-line and second-line-or-later metastatic melanoma, but provides no commitment to a pivotal start or data timing in 2027. 12 The questioner’s reference to 2027 pivotal data and a 2028 revenue contribution is not a company-confirmed timeline in the response. 31
The current study is deliberately in a very heavily pretreated relapsed/refractory population, including patients who have progressed after multiple CAR-T therapies and multiple T-cell engagers and have few or no remaining options. Management described positive early data as showing that the product can deliver its three T-cell engagers, is safe and well tolerated, and produces complete or partial responses; the durability of those responses is also a key measure. No numeric response-rate or durability threshold was provided. 4
An earlier-line strategy is not specified in these excerpts. They describe the ongoing Phase I/II study in multiple myeloma and the company’s interest in the product’s three-engager design, but do not state a plan, timing, or proposed population for moving it earlier in the treatment pathway. 45

Synopsys outlines ongoing Factory 2 licensing-royalties shift and a security IP growth path following the Intrinsic ID acquisition, with Investor Day modeling promised but no quantified ramp or TAM in the excerpts.

Research questionGreat. Maybe just a couple of quick ones on IP actually. Maybe just preempting the Analyst Day. I wondered, Sassine, if you can maybe just give us a little bit of outline on the speed of shift to the Factory 2 opportunity you outlined with licensing and royalties. And then secondly, it's been about a year, I think, since we've seen the Intrinsic ID acquisition. And I think at the time, you talked about security IP as being a new vector of growth in IP. Just wanted to hear if you could maybe outline the size of that opportunity, how you've seen engagements go and where in particular you think deployments will happen?

IFF frames Scent's recovery around a rebuilt, stronger R&D pipeline and innovative delivery systems, with Fragrance Ingredients accelerating on higher-value inputs. For H2, Fine Fragrance should see a softer Q3 followed by a stronger Q4, while Consumer Fragrance is expected to grow in the low single digits as R&D and go-to-market efforts support market-share gains—backed by an ongoing 8-9% R&D investment to fuel 2027 growth.
