Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Immunocore (IMCR) reported third-quarter KIMMTRAK net sales of $102.2 million, alongside a wider quarterly loss and updates across its clinical pipeline. Sales compared with $103.7 million a year earlier; nine-month sales rose 10% to $324.8 million. Quarterly net loss widened to $14.2 million from $0.2 million. Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $901.3 million at September 30, 2026; the company expects approximately $120 million in fourth-quarter sales-related rebate payments.

The Phase 3 TEBE-AM trial reached its 540-patient enrollment target, with overall survival results expected in the second quarter of 2027. A KIMMTRAK–brenetafusp combination produced a 29% response rate in 17 evaluable first-line uveal melanoma patients; Immunocore plans a randomized Phase 2/3 trial. The first participant with type 1 diabetes was dosed in the Phase 1 trial of IMC-S118AI.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

cytokine release syndrome, pharmacokinetics, blinded independent central review, circulating tumor DNA, +1 more
5 terms
cytokine release syndrome medical
"reversible and manageable cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (73%)"
An intense immune overreaction in which the body's defense system releases a large surge of signaling proteins, causing fever, low blood pressure, breathing trouble or organ stress; imagine the immune system's alarm going into overdrive and flooding the body with emergency responders. Investors care because this side effect can slow or block regulatory approval, increase clinical trial costs and liabilities, limit how widely a therapy can be used, and therefore affect a drug's market value and sales potential.
pharmacokinetics medical
"preliminary anti-tumor activity and pharmacokinetics of IMC-F106C"
Pharmacokinetics is the study of how a substance, such as a drug or chemical, moves through and is processed by the body over time. It tracks how it is absorbed, distributed, broken down, and eventually eliminated. For investors, understanding pharmacokinetics helps gauge the effectiveness, safety, and potential risks of new medications or treatments, which can influence a company’s success and valuation in the healthcare industry.
blinded independent central review medical
"progression free survival (PFS) by blinded independent central review (BICR)"
Blinded independent central review is a quality-control step in clinical trials where outside medical experts, who do not know which patients received the experimental therapy, re-examine key measurements (like scans or lab results) to prevent bias. Think of it as neutral referees watching game footage without knowing the teams, which gives investors greater confidence that the trial results are fair, more reliable for regulators, and less likely to be overturned or disputed.
circulating tumor DNA medical
"evaluation of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker"
Fragments of DNA shed by cancer cells into the bloodstream that act like tiny fingerprints of a tumor; they can be detected with a blood test rather than a biopsy. Investors care because circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) enables faster, lower-cost ways to detect disease, track treatment response, identify emerging resistance and enroll patients in trials—factors that can materially affect the commercial prospects of diagnostics and therapeutics.
investigational new drug regulatory
"clinical trial application (CTA) or investigational new drug (IND) application"
An investigational new drug is a medication that is still being tested in clinical trials to determine if it is safe and effective for treating a specific condition. For investors, it represents a potential breakthrough that could lead to a new treatment and significant financial gains if successful, but also carries risks since it has not yet been approved for widespread use.

First person with type 1 diabetes dosed in the Phase 1 trial of IMC-S118AI, the Company’s first tissue-specific autoimmune candidate

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $901 million as of September 30, 2026


(OXFORDSHIRE, England & RADNOR, PA. & GAITHERSBURG, MD., US, November 6, 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2026, and provided a business update.

“Nearly five years after launch, KIMMTRAK remains the proven standard of care in HLA-A*02:01+ metastatic uveal melanoma. With TEBE-AM fully enrolled and data expected in the second quarter of 2027, we are advancing our mission to bring this therapy to even more patients,” said Bahija Jallal, CEO of Immunocore. “Recently, our platform delivered two significant firsts: what we believe is the first data demonstrating clinical activity and a manageable safety profile with the combination of two T cell engagers in a solid tumor, and the first patient dosed in our tissue-specific autoimmune program for type 1 diabetes.”

Third Quarter Highlights (including post-period)

Financial Results

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2026, total net product revenue (or ‘net sales’) arising from the sales of KIMMTRAK was $102.2 million, compared to $103.7 million for the same period in 2025. Q3 2026 sales were $62.2 million in the United States, $34.9 million in Europe, and $5.1 million in international regions. Revenue from net product sales compared to Q3 of 2025 was impacted by (i) United States wholesaler stocking that occurred in Q2 of 2026 and (ii) one additional week of sales in the U.S. in Q3 2025. Normalizing for the two US-related items above, underlying revenue growth for this quarter was approximately 10%, as compared to Q3 2025.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net sales of KIMMTRAK were $324.8 million, compared to $295.5 million for the same period in 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, sales were $204.6 million in the United States, $103.5 million in Europe and $16.7 million in international regions. The increase in net product sales was due to continued growth in the United States, Europe and international regions.

Research and development (R&D) expenses for Q3 2026 were $74.7 million, compared to $70.6 million for Q3 2025. This increase was primarily due to advancement of our clinical programs, including our three Phase 3 trials.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for Q3 2026 were $40.5 million, compared to $39.8 million for Q3 2025.

Net loss for Q3 2026 was $14.2 million ($0.28 loss per share) compared to $0.2 million ($0.00 loss per share) for Q3 2025. Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was $2.1 million ($0.04 loss per share) compared to $5.5 million ($0.11 loss per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $901.3 million as of September 30, 2026, as compared to $864.2 million as of December 31, 2025. The Company expects to pay, in the fourth quarter of 2026, approximately $120 million in sales-related rebate accruals.

KIMMTRAK


The Company’s lead product, KIMMTRAK, 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 all major markets where it is launched.

The Company sees three key growth areas for KIMMTRAK as it plans to expand patient reach, 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

  • The five-year overall survival (OS) data from the Phase 3 trial of KIMMTRAK in patients with unresectable or mUM, which were presented at the AACR 2026 meeting, have been accepted by the European Medicines Agency for inclusion in the European SmPC (Summary of Product Characteristics). This addition to the SmPC will allow the Company to engage more broadly with healthcare professionals in the region about the data.
  • The Company received the International Prix Galien 2026 for KIMMTRAK in the orphan/rare diseases category. This is the fifth Prix Galien awarded to KIMMTRAK.


2L+ advanced cutaneous melanoma

  • The registrational Phase 3 TEBE-AM trial, evaluating tebentafusp as monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab, versus a control arm in patients with previously treated advanced CM, has achieved its target enrollment of 540 patients. The trial is event-driven and topline overall survival data is expected in the second quarter of 2027.
  • There is great unmet need in second- and later-line CM, with no therapy, to date, having shown an OS improvement following progression on checkpoint inhibitors in a randomized clinical trial. The Company estimates there are up to 4,000 HLA-A*02:01 positive, previously treated, advanced CM patients in the US and Europe.

Adjuvant uveal (or ocular) melanoma

  • The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) is enrolling patients in the Phase 3 Adjuvant Trial in Ocular Melanoma (ATOM) in Europe and the United States.
  • The Company estimates the HLA-A*02:01 positive, high-risk adjuvant uveal melanoma patient population could represent 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 solid tumors, including ovarian cancer, uveal melanoma, 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 continues enrollment of HLA-A*02:01 positive, first-line, advanced or metastatic cutaneous melanoma patients with 1:1 randomization to brenetafusp 160 mcg + nivolumab or a control arm of either nivolumab or nivolumab + relatlimab.
  • Despite approved therapies, there remains an unmet need for improved progression-free survival and OS in the first-line setting, where there is the potential to address an estimated 10,000 HLA-A*02:01 positive patients across the US and Europe.

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

Combination of KIMMTRAK and brenetafusp in metastatic uveal melanoma

  • As of June 2026, 22 HLA-A*02:01 positive adult patients with mUM received brenetafusp monotherapy at clinically active doses and 26 received the combination of KIMMTRAK and brenetafusp.
  • Among the 16 evaluable patients who received brenetafusp monotherapy in the second-line or later setting, overall response rate (ORR) was 19%, median duration of response (mDoR) was 14.5 months, median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 4.2 months, and median OS was 20.3 months.
  • Across the 17 evaluable first-line patients who received the combination, ORR was 29%, mDoR was 24.1 months, mPFS was 8.1 months, and median OS was not yet reached with 29 months of follow-up and 10 patients still on study. The two-year OS rate was 70%.
  • The most common brenetafusp monotherapy treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) were reversible and manageable cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (73%) and rash (50%) consistent with the molecule’s mechanism of action. Grade 3/4 TRAEs were primarily transient lymphocyte decrease which resolved without intervention.
  • Combination regimens were generally well-tolerated.   The most common TRAEs were Grade 1/2 CRS and rash (77% each). These attenuated over time with no Grade ≥3 CRS reported. No TRAE led to discontinuation or death.
  • The Company will present these data in a poster today at 10:00 a.m. MST / 12:00 p.m. ET and in an oral session, Saturday, November 7 at 1:45 p.m. MST / 3:45 p.m. ET, at the 2026 Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting.
  • The Company believes these are the first data showing clinical activity and a manageable safety profile for a combination of two T cell engagers in a solid tumor.
  • Based on these data, the Company is planning to start DUET-UVEAL, a randomized Phase 2/3 trial, to evaluate the combination for the treatment of HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with mUM.

Brenetafusp in other tumors and IMC-P115C

  • After observing an initial brenetafusp monotherapy signal in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC), the Company is evaluating, as part of an ongoing Phase 1/2 trial, combination therapy with bevacizumab in earlier lines, including platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer (PSOC). In the same trial, the Company continues signal detection across multiple metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cohorts, including combinations with standards of care in earlier-line NSCLC.
  • The Company expects to present clinical data for brenetafusp from the ovarian and lung cohorts in the Phase 1/2 trial at a medical conference later this year.
  • In parallel, the Company is continuing to enroll patients in the Phase 1 dose escalation trial evaluating IMC-P115C in patients with multiple solid tumors.

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 by eliminating the remaining virus in circulation after the patients stop taking their antiviral 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

  • In July 2026, at the International AIDS Society meeting in Rio de Janeiro, the Company presented translational data, from the first three cohorts of the multiple ascending dose (MAD) part of the Phase 1/2 trial, demonstrating that IMC-M113V induces robust type I and II interferon-associated immune programs, with stronger induction in participants who maintained viral control after treatment interruption.
  • The data also showed that, in addition to previously demonstrated direct killing of HIV-infected cells, IMC-M113V redirection of T cells results in induction of a robust interferon-associated immune program that may contribute to post-treatment viral control.
  • The Company completed enrollment of additional patients at higher dose cohorts, up to 1200 mcg, as part of the MAD portion of the Phase 1/2 trial. Analysis of the new data is ongoing with results planned to be shared early next year.

Tissue-specific down modulation of the immune system for autoimmune diseases
The key differentiator of the ImmTAAI platform is down modulation of the immune system in a tissue-specific manner. The candidates achieve this by suppressing pathogenic T cells via PD1 receptor agonism only when tethered to the target tissue.

  • The Company recently announced that the first person with type 1 diabetes has been dosed in the Phase 1 trial of IMC-S118AI, its first tissue-specific autoimmune candidate.
  • IMC-S118AI is designed to bind preproinsulin on beta cells of the pancreas and deliver a PD-1 agonist signal to nearby auto-reactive T cells, thereby protecting the pancreatic beta cells from T cell attack, preserving beta cell mass, and avoiding systemic immune suppression.
  • The Company plans to file a clinical trial application (CTA) or investigational new drug (IND) application before the end of the year for its second autoimmune program, IMC-U120AI (CD1a x PD1), which is designed to target a variety of dermatological diseases including atopic dermatitis.

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 cancer 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 demonstrated 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 tumors that are characterized as immune “cold” or having low mutational burden.

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 ImmTAAITM 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 while minimizing the risk of systemic immune suppression. The Company is currently advancing two candidates for autoimmune diseases, including type 1 diabetes and inflammatory dermatological diseases.

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

The trial has achieved target enrollment of 540 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 were 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 PRISM-MEL-301 (NCT06112314) – Phase 3 trial with brenetafusp (IMC-F106C, PRAME-A02) in 1L advanced cutaneous melanoma

The Phase 3 registrational trial is enrolling HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with previously untreated, advanced or metastatic cutaneous melanoma, with randomization 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 ATOM Phase 3 trial

The EORTC-sponsored Phase 3 clinical trial is enrolling 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 will randomize patients 1:1 to one of two arms: tebentafusp as monotherapy or observation. The primary endpoint of the trial is recurrence-free survival (RFS), with secondary objectives of overall survival and safety and tolerability of tebentafusp. Exploratory objectives include comparison of health-related quality of life between the treatment arms and evaluation of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a biomarker for the presence of residual disease.

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, as well as uveal melanoma, evaluating brenetafusp both as monotherapy and in combination arms with standards-of-care. The Phase 1 dose escalation portion of the 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) both as monotherapy and in combination with standards-of-care. Brenetafusp is a bispecific protein built on Immunocore’s ImmTAC technology, and the Company’s first molecule to target the PRAME antigen.

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.

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

When does Immunocore expect TEBE-AM Phase 3 results?

Immunocore expects topline overall survival data in the second quarter of 2027. The event-driven trial reached its target enrollment of 540 patients with previously treated advanced cutaneous melanoma and evaluates tebentafusp alone and with pembrolizumab against a control arm.

What is the primary endpoint of Immunocore's PRISM-MEL-301 trial?

The primary endpoint is progression-free survival, assessed by blinded independent central review. The Phase 3 trial enrolls HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with previously untreated advanced or metastatic cutaneous melanoma, comparing brenetafusp plus nivolumab with either nivolumab or nivolumab plus relatlimab. Secondary endpoints include overall survival and overall response rate.

What does Immunocore's ATOM Phase 3 trial evaluate?

ATOM evaluates tebentafusp versus observation after definitive treatment of high-risk primary uveal melanoma. The EORTC-sponsored trial enrolls HLA-A*02:01-positive patients without imaging evidence of metastatic disease following surgery or radiotherapy. Its primary endpoint is recurrence-free survival; secondary objectives include overall survival, safety and tolerability.
