Immatics Presents Clinical Proof-of-Concept Data from Ongoing Phase 1 Dose Escalation Trial with TCR Bispecific Molecule TCER IMA401 Targeting MAGEA4/8 at ESMO 2024 and Provides Development Update
- TCER IMA401 is a novel, next-generation, half-life extended bispecific T cell engager directed against an HLA-A*02-presented peptide derived from MAGEA4 and MAGEA8
with high target copy numbers on various solid cancers
- Data from the first-in-human Phase 1 dose escalation trial demonstrate initial anti-tumor activity and a manageable tolerability profile for TCER IMA401 monotherapy;
patient population includes 35 heavily pre-treated patients across 16 different solid tumor types; dose escalation is ongoing
- Objective response rate (ORR) 29%, confirmed ORR (cORR) 25%, disease control rate (DCR) of 53% and tumor shrinkage rate of 53% in the efficacy population treated
with relevant IMA401 doses and MAGEA4/8 target levels1
- Objective responses observed in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, neuroendocrine tumor, cutaneous and mucosal melanoma including durable ongoing partial
responses of up to 13+ months and deep responses (tumor shrinkage of ≥50%)
- Pharmacokinetics data indicate a median terminal half-life of over two weeks, supporting the current q2w (once every two weeks) schedule and the pursuit of future
dosing schedules of up to q4w
- Immatics to regain full clinical development and commercialization rights to IMA401 due to ongoing portfolio prioritization efforts within Bristol Myers Squibb;
Phase 1 dose escalation trial with IMA401 is ongoing and will continue to be conducted by Immatics
Houston, Texas and Tuebingen, Germany, September 16, 2024 – Immatics N.V. (NASDAQ: IMTX, “Immatics” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company active in the discovery and development of T cell-redirecting cancer immunotherapies, today presented the proof-of-concept clinical data for the first candidate of its next-generation, half-life extended TCR Bispecifics platform, TCER IMA401 (MAGEA4/8), during an oral presentation at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2024.
Initial data from the IMA401 Phase 1a first-in-human dose escalation basket trial in a broad range of heavily pretreated patients with recurrent and/or refractory solid tumors showed initial anti-tumor activity, durable objective responses, including confirmed responses ongoing at 13+ months, and a manageable tolerability profile.
The data from the ongoing Phase 1 trial will be presented today by Martin Wermke, M.D. during the Investigational Immunotherapy oral presentation session at the ESMO Congress 2024. The IMA401 data slides are accessible in the ‘Events & Presentations’ section of the Investor & Media section of the Company’s website.
