This emerging class of adoptive therapy targets specific tumor markers using genetically modified T-cells, showing efficacy primarily in hematological and solid tumors. The FDA's approval of Kimmtrak for treating metastatic uveal melanoma in January 2022 marks a milestone in the market. The market is projected to be driven by nasopharyngeal carcinoma, multiple myeloma, and head and neck carcinoma, with over 90% of therapy candidates being autologous.

The global cancer immunotherapy market is projected to reach USD 196.45 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.2%, according to a report by Grand View Research. The increasing use of immunotherapy due to its targeted approach and heightened regulatory approvals for novel treatments are key growth factors. Monoclonal antibodies lead market share, while oncolytic viral therapies and vaccines are expected to grow rapidly. Lung cancer treatment is currently dominant, with a growing focus on prostate cancer. Notably, the Asia Pacific region is forecasted to experience the fastest growth driven by healthcare advancements and unmet medical needs.

Immunocore Holdings plc announced strategic priorities for 2023-2024, emphasizing pipeline expansion and the continued global rollout of KIMMTRAK (tebentafusp-tebn).

Immunocore has won the Prix Galien France 2022 award in the ‘Medicine in Innovative Therapeutics’ category for its treatment KIMMTRAK (tebentafusp), the world’s first T cell receptor therapy for unresectable or metastatic uveal melanoma. Approved by the FDA and several health authorities in 2022, KIMMTRAK targets a rare and aggressive eye cancer that previously lacked specific treatments. This honor reflects both the therapy's impact on patients and the innovative technology developed by Immunocore, marking a successful year for the company.

Immunocore presented data for its bispecific T cell engager IMC-C103C targeting MAGE-A4 in ovarian cancer. The Phase 1 trial involved 33 heavily pre-treated patients. Results showed a manageable safety profile and some clinical activity, although the RECIST response rate was low among patients with low MAGE-A4 expression. Notably, reductions in ctDNA were observed even in patients with minimal MAGE-A4 expression. IMC-C103C is being co-developed with Genentech.

Immunocore Holdings plc (Nasdaq: IMCR) and Gadeta B.V. have entered a collaboration to develop the first gamma delta TCR ImmTAC® for treating solid tumors, including colorectal cancer. This partnership marries Gadeta's expertise in gamma delta TCRs with Immunocore's TCR bispecific engineering. Immunocore has an option for exclusive licensing of ImmTAC candidates resulting from this collaboration, and Gadeta is set to receive upfront fees and milestone payments. The new gamma delta TCRs exemplify a promising solution for patients without HLA restrictions.
