Immunocore to Present New Tebentafusp (IMCgp100) Data in Advanced Melanoma at Upcoming 2019 ASCO Annual Meeting
16.5.2019 09:00:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
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.”
