Presentation at 41st Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference

On Wednesday, January 11, 2023, Bahija Jallal, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, presented at the 41st Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. The presentation, which was webcasted, is available in the “Investors/Media” section of the Company’s website, located at www.immunocore.com. A copy of the presentation is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The key highlights from the presentation include the following:


The Company has added three new ImmTAC product candidates (targeting PRAME-A24, PRAME-A02-HLE (half-life extended), and PIWIL1) to the Company’s pipeline.

As of January 2023, the Company has dosed over 500 cancer patients with KIMMTRAK/tebentafusp for the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma.

As of January 2023, KIMMTRAK is approved in over 30 countries, with continued global commercial expansion planned for 2023-2024.

The Company is starting a Phase 2/3 clinical trial to investigate the potential of tebentafusp for the treatment of advanced cutaneous melanoma. The Company estimates this expansion opportunity would be a potential addressable patient population that is 2-4 times larger than the opportunity for uveal melanoma.

The Company expects to report initial data from the monotherapy and combination arms of the Phase 1/2 dose escalation trial of IMC-F106C (PRAME-A02) by the first half of 2024.

The Company believes IMC-R117C is the first PIWIL1 targeted immunotherapy and plans to submit an investigational new drug application in the fourth quarter of 2023.

The Company plans to report data from the single ascending dose portion of the Phase 1 clinical trial of IMC-M113V, the Company’s ImmTAV molecule targeting the human immunodeficiency virus, in 2023.
