BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Immunome, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMNM), a biotechnology company focused on developing first-in-class and best-in-class targeted cancer therapies, today announced that it will present preclinical data for IM-3050, the company’s lead lutetium-177 radioligand therapy (RLT) targeting fibroblast activation protein (FAP). Jack Higgins, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Immunome, will present the data in a poster at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2024, which is taking place April 5-10 in San Diego, California.
“FAP is an attractive target for cancer therapy, but trials with first-generation FAP-RLTs have produced modest clinical responses, indicating the need for novel agents with improved therapeutic properties,” commented Dr. Higgins. “We believe IM-3050 has best-in-class potential and look forward to sharing preclinical data for the program at AACR.”
Immunome expects to submit an Investigational New Drug application to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for IM-3050 in the first quarter of 2025.
