Immunocore to Present New Tebentafusp (IMCgp100) Data in Advanced Melanoma at Upcoming 2019 ASCO Annual Meeting
Immunocore Limited, a leading T cell receptor (TCR) biotechnology company, will present new mechanism of action data in advanced uveal and cutaneous melanoma from the tebentafusp clinical research programme at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago on 3 June 2019. Tebentafusp (IMCgp100) is a novel bispecific biologic T cell receptor therapy with an anti-CD3 immune-redirecting effector function and specifically targets gp100, a lineage antigen expressed in melanocytes and melanoma.
“At ASCO, we will present clinical and biomarker data from our lead bispecific tebentafusp programme that provide insight into its mechanism of action,” said David Berman, Head of Research and Development at Immunocore. “We believe these data will translate across our ImmTAC platform and provide another step towards identifying which patient populations benefit.”
Poster discussion/poster: Pharmacodynamic effect of IMCgp100 (TCR–CD3 bispecific) on peripheral cytokines and association with overall survival in patients with advanced melanoma (Abstract #9523, Poster #94)
- Highlighting new mechanism of action results for tebentafusp (IMCgp100), this poster will be presented by Mark Middleton, MD, Head, Department of Oncology, University of Oxford, on Monday 3 June, 1:15-4:45 p.m. CDT in Hall A.

At the European E-Congress of Rheumatology 2020 (The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) 2020 E-Congress), Celltrion Healthcare today showcased three sets of data relating to a subcutaneous formulation of infliximab, Remsima® SC. The first study demonstrated no impact of body mass index (BMI) on clinical response to CT-P13 SC in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).1 The post-hoc study investigated the impact of BMI on clinical response to CT-P13 SC in part 2 of a phase I/III randomised controlled trial (RCT) in 165 patients throughout a 1-year treatment period.1 Patients were categorized into 3 groups; under/normal weight (<25kg/m2), overweight (≥25kg/m2, <30kg/m2), and obesity (≥30kg/m2) based on the WHO BMI classification. The three groups received at least one full dose of CT-P13 SC (after IV induction) in the initial treatment stage before week 30. The data show that the mean change from baseline of DAS28 (CRP) (-3.3, -3.1, -3.3 at week 54), duration of low diseas
