Immunocore brenetafusp Phase 1 data: 87% 6-mo OS in advanced melanoma

AI Summary

Immunocore presented updated Phase 1/2 data for brenetafusp in heavily pretreated advanced melanoma at the 2026 ASCO Annual Meeting. Brenetafusp monotherapy resulted in an 87% 6-month overall survival rate and a 52% disease control rate in HLA-A*02:01-positive patients. These promising results support the selection of the 160 mcg dose for the ongoing Phase 3 PRISM-MEL-301 trial in first-line advanced melanoma. The drug was generally well tolerated, with consistent clinical benefit observed even in difficult-to-treat subgroups.
