Rationale of the trial Although use engineered T cells in cancer immunotherapy has greatly advanced treatment hematological malignancies, reaching meaningful clinical responses solid tumors is still challenging. We investigated safety and tolerability IMA202 a first-in-human, dose escalation basket human leucocyte antigen A*02:01 positive patients with melanoma-associated A1 (MAGEA1)-positive tumors. Trial design The 2+2 was an algorithmic based on maximally acceptable dose-limiting toxicity...

Knowledge about the peptide repertoire presented by human leukocyte antigens (HLA) holds key to unlock target-specific cancer immunotherapies such as adoptive cell therapies or bispecific T engaging receptors. Therefore, comprehensive and accurate characterization of HLA peptidomes mass spectrometry (immunopeptidomics) across tissues disease states is essential. With growing numbers immunopeptidomics datasets scope identification strategies reaching beyond canonical proteome, likelihood for...

In contrast to chimeric antigen receptor T cells, cell (TCR)-engineered cells can target intracellular tumor-associated antigens crucial for treating solid tumors. However, most trials published so far show limited clinical activity. Here we report interim data from a first-in-human, multicenter, open-label, 3 + dose-escalation/de-escalation phase 1 trial studying IMA203, an autologous preferentially expressed in melanoma (PRAME)-directed TCR therapy HLA-A*02+ patients with PRAME+ recurrent...

Abstract IMA101 is an actively personalized, multi-targeted adoptive cell therapy (ACT), whereby autologous T cells are directed against multiple novel defined peptide-HLA (pHLA) cancer targets. HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with relapsed/refractory solid tumors expressing ≥1 of 8 predefined targets underwent leukapheresis. Endogenous specific for up to 4 were primed and expanded in vitro. Patients received lymphodepletion (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide), followed by T-cell infusion low-dose...
