Immunocore plc is a clinical‐stage biotechnology company focused on the development of novel immunotherapies that harness the body’s own T‐cell response to treat cancer and infectious diseases. The company’s proprietary ImmTAC (immune mobilising monoclonal T‐cell receptors against cancer) platform utilizes engineered, soluble T‐cell receptor (TCR) molecules designed to recognise intracellular peptide–HLA complexes. By redirecting and activating T cells against disease‐associated targets, Immunocore aims to address malignancies and persistent viral infections with high unmet medical need.
The company’s most advanced candidate, tebentafusp, is a bispecific ImmTAC molecule that targets gp100, a melanoma‐associated antigen, and has received regulatory approval for the treatment of metastatic uveal melanoma. Beyond this, Immunocore’s pipeline includes multiple additional ImmTAC candidates in various stages of clinical evaluation across solid tumor indications such as colorectal, lung and other metastatic cancers. The firm also pursues collaborations with major biopharmaceutical partners to expand the reach and application of its TCR technology, notably with Genentech and Fosun Pharma.
Headquartered in Oxford, England, with research and development facilities in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Immunocore leverages a global infrastructure to support its clinical trials and manufacturing efforts. Founded in 2008, the company is led by Chief Executive Officer Dr. Bahija Jallal, under whose direction Immunocore has advanced its first‐in‐class therapies from discovery through late‐stage clinical development. With a commitment to innovation in immune‐based medicine, Immunocore continues to explore new targets and indications that may benefit from the specificity and potency of its TCR‐based platform.
