Medigene AG: Medigene to present new pre-clinical data for pipeline TCR-T therapies at the ESMO Congress 2023

Planegg/Martinsried (pta021/16.10.2023/14:00 UTC+2)

Medigene AG (Medigene, the "Company", FSE: MDG1, Prime Standard), an immuno-oncology platform company focusing on the discovery and development of T cell immunotherapies for solid tumors, will be presenting at the ESMO Congress 2023 being held on October 20-24, 2023, in Madrid, Spain.

The data to be presented shows that optimal affinity T cell receptors (TCRs) when combined with Medigene's PD1-41BB costimulatory switch protein (CSP), provides strong protection of T cell receptor engineered T cells (TCR-T) against multiple mechanisms of solid tumor microenvironment immunosuppression, including CSP-enhanced poly-cytokine secretion, proliferation and mitigation against exhaustion of the TCR-T in vitro.

The abstract has been published online here.

Details on the poster presentation are as follows:

Abstract and title: "Mitigation of Tumor Microenvironment-Mediated Immunosuppression Using a PD1-41BB Switch Protein with Optimal Affinity TCRs for First-In-Class, 3rd Generation TCR-T Therapies."

Authors: Kirsty Crame, Giulia Longinotti, Mario Catarinella, Petra U Prinz, Stefanie Tippmer, Kathrin Mutze, Andrea Coluccio, Melanie Salvermoser, Julia Bittmann, Maja Buerdek, Barbara Loesch, Christiane Geiger, Kathrin Davari and Dolores J Schendel

Final presentation number: 2249P

Date/time: Saturday October 21, 2023, Poster lunch session from 12 to 1 pm CEST, poster will be on display from 9 am to 6.30 pm CEST
