    Medigene Presents Progress on KRAS Library and UniTope & TraCR Technology at ESMO 2024

    Planegg/Martinsried, September 14, 2024. Medigene AG (Medigene or the “Company”, FSE: MDG1, Prime Standard), an oncology platform company focused on the research and development of T cell receptor (TCR)-guided therapies for the treatment of cancer, presented updates for its T cell receptor (TCR) library targeting the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) and also highlighted advancements of its UniTope and TraCR technology, which serves as a universal system for tagging and tracking recombinant TCRs (rTCRs) across multiple modalities, including T cell receptor engineered T cell (TCR-T) therapies, at the ESMO Congress 2024 taking place in Barcelona from September 13-17, 2024.

    The presented posters “Advancing a multi-dimension KRAS mutation-specific T cell receptor (TCR) library with a 3S TCR targeting the G12D mutation to address large global patient populations” and “UniTope & TraCR - Universal tagging and tracking system for TCR-T cells integrated directly in the TCR constant region” will be made available after the conference on Medigene’s website: https://medigene.com/science/abstracts/

    "We are excited about our expanding library of mKRAS-specific rTCRs targeting different mutations and HLA allotypes, aiming to broaden treatment options and improve outcomes for patients with difficult-to-treat solid tumors," said Dolores Schendel, CSO at Medigene AG. "Our lead KRAS G12D candidate, enhanced by the costimulatory switch protein (CSP) PD1-41BB, has shown very promising T cell functionality. By overcoming the challenges of the tumor microenvironment that have hindered the effectiveness of TCR-T therapies, we are confident that this program could offer best-in-class efficacy and safety. We are expanding our TCR library and also incorporating new proprietary technologies into our End-to-End (E2E) Platform, including UniTope & TraCR, a universal detection system for any rTCR across various modalities like TCR-T therapies, TCR-guided T cell engagers therapies, and TCR-NK cell therapies. Direct integration of the UniTope tag guarantees 100% co-expression of a unique identifier in a rTCR sequence and provides a significant advancement over current methods for detection of rTCRs in TCR-guided therapeutics. UniTope and TraCR will help us streamline quality control and provide precise data for determining the correct drug dosing for TCR-T therapies."
