Immunocore (IMCR) announces that the first patient has been treated in the Phase 1/2 trial of its novel ImmTAC candidate, IMC-R117C, targeting PIWIL1 in colorectal and other gastrointestinal cancers. IMC-R117C is Immunocore’s fifth ImmTAC candidate to enter the clinic. PIWIL1 is overexpressed in multiple malignancies, including colorectal cancer, CRC, and is associated with aggressive tumor growth and poor patient survival.i Despite the development and approval of novel therapeutics, there remains a significant unmet medical need in patients with these cancers, especially in advanced colorectal cancer that is refractory to or has relapsed following standard chemotherapies and targeted therapies.
