Immunocore Limited, a leading T cell receptor (TCR) company focused on delivering first-in-class biological therapies that have the potential to transform lives, today announces that new data from its phase I/II dose escalation trial of its wholly-owned, lead programme, IMCgp100, in metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM) will be presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago on 4 June 2018. 

Redirected T cell lysis in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma with gp100-directed TCR IMCgp100: Overall survival findings (abstract 9521, poster #348) will be presented by Takami Sato, MD, PhD, Department of Medical Oncology, Kimmel Cancer Center, Thomas Jefferson University, in the melanoma/skin cancers poster session on Monday 4 June, 13:15-16:45 CDT. The poster presentation will include updated data and additional findings from the IMCgp100-102 clinical trial.

“Patients with metastatic uveal melanoma have an extremely rare form of eye cancer and there are currently few treatment options that can address their needs,” said Dr. Chris Coughlin, Chief Medical Officer at Immunocore. “We are actively recruiting for our pivotal trials in metastatic uveal melanoma, and are looking forward to sharing updated overall survival data from our IMCgp100-102 study at this year’s ASCO meeting.”
