Study Update summary
8 Jul, 2026Study design and patient population
IMA203 targets PRAME, a highly prevalent antigen in multiple solid tumors, focusing on PD-1 refractory metastatic melanoma in a phase 1b dose expansion study and planning for a phase III trial later this year.
The phase 1b dose expansion cohort included 28 melanoma patients at the recommended phase II dose, with a total safety population of 70 patients across all indications.
The phase III SUPREME trial will enroll 360 HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma, randomizing them to IMA203 or investigator's choice of approved treatments.
Only cutaneous, acral, and melanoma of unknown origin will be included in phase III; mucosal and uveal melanoma are excluded for homogeneity.
The therapy is also being evaluated in a Phase 1 trial with a CD8aβ co-receptor (IMA203CD8 GEN2).
Safety and tolerability
IMA203 was well tolerated, with most adverse events being expected cytopenias from lymphodepletion and mild to moderate cytokine release syndrome (CRS).
Grade III CRS occurred in 8 of 70 patients; infrequent ICANS events were fully resolved, and no treatment-related deaths occurred.
Tolerability in the melanoma subset was consistent with the overall safety profile.
Low-dose IL-2 was used post-infusion, well tolerated, and manageable in an outpatient setting.
No treatment-related Grade 5 adverse events were reported, and most side effects were mild to moderate.
Efficacy and clinical outcomes
Confirmed objective response rate in melanoma was 54%, with 7 of 14 responses ongoing at data cutoff.
88% of patients showed tumor shrinkage, and disease control was achieved in 92%.
Median duration of response was 12.1 months, with some responses ongoing for over two years.
Median progression-free survival (PFS) was six months; median overall survival (OS) was not reached at 8.6 months follow-up.
Deep responders (≥50% tumor reduction) had median PFS over one year.
