Immatics Reports Interim Clinical Data from Ongoing Phase 1b Cohort A Monotherapy with ACTengine® IMA203 TCR-T Targeting PRAME
Immatics N.V. (“Immatics”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company active in the discovery and development of T cell-redirecting cancer immunotherapies, today announced an interim clinical data update for 11 patients with recurrent and/or refractory solid cancers treated with ACTengine® IMA203 TCR-T monotherapy in the ongoing Phase 1b dose expansion Cohort A. IMA203 TCR-T cells are directed against an HLA-A*02-presented peptide derived from PRAME, a broadly expressed solid cancer target with clinical proof-of-concept for IMA203 demonstrated by Immatics in 2022. Overall, IMA203 showed a high rate of deep and durable objective responses, with a confirmed objective response rate of 67% (6/9), across multiple tumor types, including two confirmed partial responses (cPR) ongoing at more than 9 months after treatment and three additional partial responses ongoing at data cut-off. IMA203 monotherapy continues to be well tolerated in heavily pre-treated patients at doses of up to approximately 9 billion CD8+ TCR-T cells. No high-grade cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and no immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were observed in Cohort A at data cut-off.
