As a late-stage biotechnology firm, Immunocore develops T cell receptor bispecific immunotherapies to treat diseases like cancer and autoimmune disorders. Their lead candidate, tebentafusp, demonstrated significant survival benefits in metastatic uveal melanoma during clinical trials.
Immunocore (IMCR) reported its Q3 2021 financial results, highlighting the acceptance of its Biologics License Application for tebentafusp in metastatic uveal melanoma, with the FDA setting a PDUFA date of February 23, 2022. The company has treated over 150 patients through an early access program. Financially, revenue fell to £5.9 million from £6.7 million year-over-year, while operating loss increased to £31 million, largely due to rising employee costs.

Immunocore presented new data on tebentafusp at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) 36th Annual Meeting, focusing on its use in metastatic cutaneous melanoma (mCM) and uveal melanoma (mUM). The Phase 1b trial showed a 76% one-year overall survival rate in mCM patients previously treated with anti-PD(L)1 therapy. Additionally, survival benefits were observed for tebentafusp monotherapy in mUM regardless of gp100 tumor expression levels. The findings highlight tebentafusp's potential in addressing unmet medical needs in melanoma treatment.
Immunocore has partnered with Medison Pharma to commercialize tebentafusp in Canada, Central Eastern Europe, and Israel for metastatic uveal melanoma treatment. This agreement follows regulatory acceptances for tebentafusp in the U.S. and Europe. Medison will aid in seeking regulatory authorization, enhancing access to this therapy in 22 markets. Tebentafusp has received multiple designations from the FDA, including Priority Review and Breakthrough Therapy designation, indicating its potential impact on patient care in this aggressive cancer.
Immunocore announced the publication of phase 3 data regarding tebentafusp in The New England Journal of Medicine, demonstrating significant overall survival benefits for previously untreated patients with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). This marks tebentafusp as the first T cell receptor therapeutic to show a survival advantage in this patient population. The study reported a hazard ratio of 0.51 (p < 0.0001) favoring tebentafusp over investigator’s choice therapies. The FDA has accepted Immunocore’s biologics license application for tebentafusp, which has received multiple designations indicating its potential as a treatment option for mUM.
Immunocore presented significant findings at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2021, highlighting that a reduction in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) while on tebentafusp correlates with improved overall survival in patients with metastatic uveal melanoma. In a Phase 2 trial, 70% of evaluable patients experienced some ctDNA reduction, with 14% achieving complete ctDNA clearance. The company submitted applications for tebentafusp approval to the FDA, EMA, and MHRA, building upon its Phase 3 study's positive outcomes.
