[^1]\n\nOn 2026-08-26, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a pill from Revolution Medicines intended to help treat late-stage prostate cancer, a new type of molecular 'glue' drug. [^2]\n\nParts of a drone were found washed ashore on the beach at Modern in Constanta, Romania. [^3]\n\nRomanian authorities confirmed that the drone fragment found on the beach did not contain an explosive charge. [^4]\n\nModerna's melanoma vaccine worked in phase 2 testing, almost cutting in half the risk of skin cancer recurring, but it is not yet FDA-approved and may not be widely available until around 2027. [^5]\n\nTal Zaks, former chief medical officer at Moderna, helped secure a $450 million co-development deal with Keytruda-maker Merck for Moderna's cancer vaccine technology. [^6]\n\nSeveral other drone fragments have been found on the Romanian coastline in recent weeks. [^7]",
