year-over-year

Oral presentation at AACR: KIMMTRAK doubles likelihood of being alive at five years for patients with HLA-A*02:01 positive metastatic uveal melanoma

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $845 million as of March 31, 2026

(OXFORDSHIRE, England & RADNOR, Penn. & GAITHERSBURG, Md., US, 6 May 2026) Immunocore Holdings plc (NASDAQ:IMCR) ("Immunocore" or the "Company"), a commercial-stage biotechnology company pioneering and delivering transformative immunomodulating medicines to radically improve outcomes for patients with cancer, infectious diseases and autoimmune diseases, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a business update.

"We are proud to report another quarter of strong commercial performance, with KIMMTRAK generating $107 million in net revenues in Q1 2026," said Bahija Jallal, CEO of Immunocore. "The five-year overall survival (OS) data from our Phase 3 trial presented at AACR is a landmark moment. It is the longest OS follow-up ever reported in a randomized trial in metastatic uveal melanoma and underscores the long-term benefit KIMMTRAK delivers to patients. In parallel, we are executing with discipline across our pipeline."

First Quarter Highlights (including post-period)

Financial Results

For the first quarter of 2026 (Q1 2026), total net product revenue (or ‘net sales') arising from the sales of KIMMTRAK was $106.7 million, compared to $93.9 million for the same period in 2025. Q1 2026 sales were $67.4 million in the United States, $34.4 million in Europe, and $4.8 million in international regions. The increase in net product sales was due to increased volumes in the United States and Europe as well as global country expansion.

Research & development (R&D) expenses for Q1 2026 were $61.1 million, compared to $56.5 million for Q1 2025. This increase was primarily due to clinical expenses related to the progression of our Phase 3 trials, primarily PRISM-MEL-301.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for Q1 2026 were $37.9 million, compared to $40.2 million for Q1 2025. This decrease was primarily due to increases in forfeitures of share-based compensation.

Net income for Q1 2026 was $13.0 million compared to $5.0 million for Q1 2025.

The Q1 2026 diluted income per share was $0.25 compared to $0.10 for Q1 2025.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $844.9 million as of March 31, 2026.

KIMMTRAK

The Company's lead product, KIMMTRAK^® (tebentafusp), is approved in 39 countries and has been launched in over 30 countries globally to date for HLA-A*02:01 positive people with unresectable or metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). KIMMTRAK continues to be the standard of care in most markets where it is launched.

The Company sees three key growth areas as it plans to expand patient reach for KIMMTRAK, including continued US community and global market penetration in mUM, the potential expansion into 2L+ advanced cutaneous melanoma (CM), and the potential expansion into adjuvant uveal melanoma.

Metastatic uveal melanoma

KIMMTRAK net product sales were $106.7 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, representing an increase of 13.6%, as compared to the same period in 2025.
19.1% year-over-year sales growth in the United States with mean duration of treatment of 14 months.
4.9% year-over-year sales growth in Europe, driven by increased demand and launches in European markets.
Five-year overall survival (OS) data from the landmark Phase 3 trial of KIMMTRAK in patients with unresectable or mUM were presented in an oral session at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2026 meeting, representing the longest follow-up reported for any T cell engager in a solid tumor. In this study of 378 patients, KIMMTRAK doubled the likelihood of being alive at five years with an OS rate of 16% versus 8% in the control arm (HR 0.67), while demonstrating a median OS of 21.6 months compared to 16.9 months for investigator's choice.
The OS benefit with KIMMTRAK was observed regardless of known poor prognostic factors at baseline (high tumor burden [≥10cm]; elevated lactate dehydrogenase [LDH]) or tumor location (hepatic only; hepatic and extra-hepatic). OS benefit was also observed in patients with a best response of progressive disease, including those with >20% tumor growth as best change on treatment.
The data also confirmed that the OS benefit was primarily driven by KIMMTRAK rather than subsequent therapies. Among patients treated with KIMMTRAK who were alive at five years, nearly half (44%) received only KIMMTRAK, while among patients in the control arm alive at the same time point, 86% subsequently received KIMMTRAK.

2L+ advanced cutaneous melanoma

The Company is currently enrolling patients in the TEBE-AM registrational Phase 3 trial and expects to complete enrollment in the first half of 2026 with topline data expected as early as the second half of 2026.
The Phase 3 trial is enrolling three arms: tebentafusp monotherapy, tebentafusp in combination with pembrolizumab, and a control (investigator's choice of therapy including clinical trials, chemotherapy, or retreatment with anti-PD1 or BRAF therapy). The primary endpoint of the randomized Phase 3 trial is Overall Survival (OS).
There is great unmet need in second- and later-line cutaneous melanoma, with no therapy having shown, to date, an OS improvement post checkpoint inhibitors in a randomized clinical trial. The Company estimates that there is a potential to address up to 4,000 previously treated advanced HLA-A*02:01 positive CM patients.

Adjuvant uveal (or ocular) melanoma

The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) continues to expand the site footprint of the Phase 3 Adjuvant Trial in Ocular Melanoma (ATOM).
The Company estimates that the HLA-A*02:01 positive, high-risk adjuvant uveal melanoma patient population could be up to 1,200 patients in the US and Europe.

PRAME portfolio

Brenetafusp is the Company's lead PRAME-A02 ImmTAC bispecific candidate. Brenetafusp is being evaluated in combination with nivolumab in a Phase 3 registrational trial (PRISM-MEL-301) in patients with first-line, advanced cutaneous melanoma, and in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial as monotherapy and in combination across multiple tumor types, including ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

PRISM-MEL-301 – First PRAME Phase 3 clinical trial with brenetafusp in first-line, advanced cutaneous melanoma

The Company is enrolling HLA-A*02:01 positive patients with first-line, advanced or metastatic cutaneous melanoma to brenetafusp 160 mcg + nivolumab or a control arm of either nivolumab or nivolumab + relatlimab.
Despite approved therapies, there remains a need for improved progression-free survival and OS, and there is the potential to address an estimated 10,000 HLA-A*02:01 positive patients in the US and Europe.

Phase 1/2 clinical trials of brenetafusp and IMC-P115C (PRAME-A02 Half-Life Extended) in multiple solid tumors

The Company continues to evaluate brenetafusp in a Phase 1/2 trial in combination in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) and in earlier lines of platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer (PSOC). In the same trial, the Company continues signal detection in metastatic NSCLC cohorts, including combination in earlier-line NSCLC.
The Company is enrolling patients in the Phase 1 dose escalation trial evaluating IMC-P115C in patients with multiple solid tumors.
The Company expects to present Phase 1/2 data from both trials in the second half of 2026.

IMC-R117C (PIWIL1) for colorectal and other gastrointestinal cancers

The Company is enrolling patients in the Phase 1/2 dose escalation trial evaluating IMC-R117C in HLA-A*02:01 positive patients with advanced solid tumors, including colorectal cancer, as a single agent and in combination with standards of care.
The Company expects to present initial data in 2027.

ImmTAV candidates for a functional cure in infectious diseases

The Company's bispecific TCR technology platform has the potential to offer a new approach for the treatment of certain chronic infections and aims to eliminate evidence of remaining virus in circulation after the patient stops taking medication – known as a ‘functional cure'. The Company is studying an investigational candidate for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

Phase 1/2 trial of IMC-M113V (Gag-A02) for people living with HIV

Patient enrollment continues at higher doses in the multiple ascending dose (MAD) part of the Phase 1/2 clinical trial to identify a safe and tolerable dose.
Additional Phase 1 MAD data is expected to be presented in the second half of 2026.

Tissue-specific down modulation of the immune system for autoimmune diseases

The key differentiator of the ImmTAAI platform is tissue-specific, down modulation of the immune system, as the candidates suppress pathogenic T cells via PD1 receptor agonism only when tethered to the target tissue.

The Company filed a clinical trial application (CTA) for IMC-S118AI (PPI x PD1) in December 2025 and expects to begin the Phase 1 trial in the first half of 2026.
The Company plans to file a CTA or investigational new drug (IND) application for IMC-U120AI (CD1a x PD1) in the second half of 2026.

About ImmTAC^® molecules for cancer

Immunocore's proprietary T cell receptor (TCR) technology generates a novel class of bispecific biologics called ImmTAC (Immune mobilizing monoclonal TCRs Against Cancer) molecules that are designed to redirect the immune system to recognize and kill cancerous cells. ImmTAC molecules are soluble TCRs engineered to recognize intracellular cancer antigens with ultra-high affinity and selectively kill these cancer cells via an anti-CD3 immune-activating effector function. Based on the demonstrated mechanism of T cell infiltration into human tumors, the ImmTAC mechanism of action holds the potential to treat hematologic and solid tumors, regardless of mutational burden or immune infiltration, including immune "cold" low mutation rate tumors.

About ImmTAV^® molecules and infectious diseases

ImmTAV (Immune mobilizing monoclonal TCRs Against Virus) molecules are novel bispecifics that are designed to enable the immune system to recognize and eliminate virally infected cells.

Immunocore is advancing a clinical candidate, aiming to achieve sustained control of HIV after people living with HIV stop anti-retroviral therapy (ART), without the risk of virological relapse or onward transmission. This is known as ‘functional cure'.

About ImmTAAI^TM molecules and autoimmune diseases

ImmTAAI (Immune mobilizing monoclonal TCRs Against AutoImmune disease) molecules are novel bispecifics that are designed for tissue-specific down modulation of the immune system. When tethered to the tissue of interest, ImmTAAI candidates suppress pathogenic T cells via PD1 receptor agonism. The Company is currently advancing two candidates for autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes and inflammatory dermatological diseases.

About PRISM-MEL-301 (NCT06112314) – Phase 3 trial with brenetafusp (IMC-F106C, PRAME-A02) in 1L advanced cutaneous melanoma

The Phase 3 registrational trial is randomizing HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with previously untreated, advanced or metastatic cutaneous melanoma, to brenetafusp 160 mcg + nivolumab or a control arm of either nivolumab or nivolumab + relatlimab. The primary endpoint of the trial is progression free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review (BICR), with secondary endpoints of overall survival (OS) and overall response rate (ORR).

About the IMC-F106C-101 Phase 1/2 trial

IMC-F106C-101 is a first-in-human, Phase 1/2 dose escalation trial in patients with multiple solid tumors, including non-small cell lung and ovarian cancers. The Phase 1 dose escalation trial was designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), as well as to evaluate the safety, preliminary anti-tumor activity and pharmacokinetics of IMC-F106C (brenetafusp), a bispecific protein built on Immunocore's ImmTAC technology, and the Company's first molecule to target the PRAME antigen. The Company is currently focusing on enrolling patients in combination arms with standards-of-care across multiple tumor types.

About TEBE-AM – Phase 3 registrational trial with tebentafusp in previously treated advanced cutaneous melanoma

The trial is randomizing patients with second-line or later advanced cutaneous melanoma who have progressed on an anti-PD1, received prior ipilimumab and, if applicable, received a BRAF kinase inhibitor. Patients are randomized to one of three arms, including tebentafusp – as monotherapy or in combination with an anti-PD1 – or a control arm. The primary endpoint is overall survival.

About the ATOM Phase 3 trial

The EORTC-sponsored Phase 3 clinical trial will include sites in 10 EU countries and the United States and is randomizing HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with high-risk primary uveal melanoma after definitive treatment, by surgery or radiotherapy, and no evidence of metastatic disease on imaging. The trial is expected to enroll a total of 290 patients who will be randomized 1:1 to one of two arms: tebentafusp as monotherapy or observation. The primary endpoint of the trial is relapse-free survival (RFS), with secondary objectives of overall survival and safety and tolerability of tebentafusp. Exploratory objectives include the comparison of the health-related quality of life between the treatment arms and the evaluation of the role of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker for the presence of residual disease.

About Uveal Melanoma

Uveal melanoma is a rare and aggressive form of melanoma, which affects the eye. This is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults and up to 50% of people with uveal melanoma will eventually develop metastatic disease. Unresectable or metastatic uveal melanoma typically has a poor prognosis and had no approved treatment until KIMMTRAK.

About Cutaneous Melanoma

Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most common form of melanoma. It is the most aggressive skin carcinoma and is associated with the vast majority of skin cancer-related mortality. The majority of patients with CM are diagnosed before metastasis but survival remains poor for the large proportion of patients with metastatic disease. Despite recent progress in advanced melanoma therapy, there is still an unmet need for new therapies that improve first-line response rates and duration of response as well as for patients who are refractory to first-line treatments.

About KIMMTRAK^®

KIMMTRAK is a novel bispecific protein comprised of a soluble T cell receptor fused to an anti-CD3 immune-effector function. KIMMTRAK specifically targets gp100, a lineage antigen expressed in melanocytes and melanoma. This is the first molecule developed using Immunocore's ImmTAC technology platform, designed to redirect and activate T cells to recognize and kill tumor cells. KIMMTRAK has been approved for the treatment of HLA-A*02:01-positive adult patients with unresectable or metastatic uveal melanoma in the United States, European Union, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), which may be serious or life-threatening, occurred in patients receiving KIMMTRAK. Monitor for at least 16 hours following first three infusions and then as clinically indicated. Manifestations of CRS may include fever, hypotension, hypoxia, chills, nausea, vomiting, rash, elevated transaminases, fatigue, and headache. CRS occurred in 89% of patients who received KIMMTRAK, with 0.8% being grade 3 or 4. Ensure immediate access to medications and resuscitative equipment to manage CRS. Ensure patients are euvolemic prior to initiating the infusions. Closely monitor patients for signs or symptoms of CRS following infusions of KIMMTRAK. Monitor fluid status, vital signs, and oxygenation level and provide appropriate therapy. Withhold or discontinue KIMMTRAK depending on persistence and severity of CRS.

Skin Reactions

Skin reactions, including rash, pruritus, and cutaneous edema occurred in 91% of patients treated with KIMMTRAK. Monitor patients for skin reactions. If skin reactions occur, treat with antihistamine and topical or systemic steroids based on persistence and severity of symptoms. Withhold or permanently discontinue KIMMTRAK depending on the severity of skin reactions.

Elevated Liver Enzymes

Elevations in liver enzymes occurred in 65% of patients treated with KIMMTRAK. Monitor alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total blood bilirubin prior to the start of and during treatment with KIMMTRAK. Withhold KIMMTRAK according to severity.

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

KIMMTRAK may cause fetal harm. Advise pregnant patients of potential risk to the fetus and patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with KIMMTRAK and 1 week after the last dose.

The most common adverse reactions (≥30%) in patients who received KIMMTRAK were cytokine release syndrome, rash, pyrexia, pruritus, fatigue, nausea, chills, abdominal pain, edema, hypotension, dry skin, headache, and vomiting. The most common (≥50%) laboratory abnormalities were decreased lymphocyte count, increased creatinine, increased glucose, increased AST, increased ALT, decreased hemoglobin, and decreased phosphate.
