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.”
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.
- The poster will also be discussed by Sophie Piperno-Neumann, MD, Department of Medical Oncology, Institut Curie, in the Melanoma/Skin Cancers poster discussion session on Monday 3 June, 4:30-6:00 p.m. CDT in Room E451.
Poster: Relationship between clinical efficacy and AEs of IMCgp100, a novel bispecific TCR–anti-CD3, in patients with advanced melanoma (Abstract #9530, Poster #101)
- In a retrospective analysis, reporting the potential association of rash with overall survival and temporal association of key cytokines with cytokine mediated adverse events for tebentafusp (IMCgp100), this poster will be presented by Omid Hamid, MD, Chief of Translational Research and Immunotherapy and Director of Melanoma Therapeutics, Angeles Clinic, in the Melanoma/Skin Cancers poster session on Monday 3 June, 1:15-4:45 p.m. CDT in Hall A.
Analyses presented at the meeting stemmed from a Phase 1 clinical trial assessing the safety and tolerability of tebentafusp (NCT01211262).

HJS Foundation Releases JEP Protocol & HJS Framework: The "Black Box" for AI, Enabling Verifiable Human Oversight24.3.2026 05:36:00 EET | Press release
HJS Foundation (Human Judgment Systems Foundation) today released two complementary solutions: the Judgment Event Protocol (JEP) and the Human Judgment Structure (HJS) framework. As a minimalist open standard, JEP generates tamper-proof records of AI decision accountability, just like an aircraft black box; HJS embeds human judgment logic into AI operation processes — together, they transform "human oversight" from a regulatory requirement into a verifiable technical fact, providing an optional technical solution for AI accountability. How to prove that AI decisions (such as loan approvals, medical diagnoses, border screenings, etc.) have undergone human review? JEP generates immutable audit trails of human intervention through four cryptographic primitives — Judge, Verify, Delegate, Terminate; HJS builds a controllable and accountable system to prevent risks such as AI drift and ensure that human judgment guides AI operations. Current systems rely on alterable post-hoc documentation,
Access Advance Welcomes New VDP Pool Licensors and Releases Independent Economic Analysis Confirming FRAND Compliance24.3.2026 02:00:00 EET | Press release
