ImmunoGenesis and Cancer Focus Fund Announce $4.5 Million Investment to Support First-in-Human Trial of IMGS-001 for R/R Advanced Solid Tumors
“Overcoming the widespread resistance to immunotherapy in immune-excluded tumors requires re-envisioning the starting point for treatment,” said Dr. Michael A. Curran, Founder of ImmunoGenesis. “We are addressing this challenge by developing a novel, dualspecific PDL1/PDL2 inhibitor engineered to include tumor-killing effector function – essentially addressing tumor pathology at the roots. Based on the results of preclinical studies, we believe that IMGS001 has the potential to significantly improve clinical response over currently approved checkpoint inhibitors for patients with immune-excluded tumors.”
