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.”

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 16:31:00 EET | Press release
Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management.

The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances.
