The collaboration will combine Immatics’ Xpresident target discovery and T-cell receptor (TCR) capabilities with Amgen’s validated Bispecific T-cell Engager (BiTE) technology with the aim of creating novel oncology drugs.
The outlook for brain tumour patients is pretty negative, with the median survival rate for patients with glioblastoma multiforme, or GBM, a mere 14.2 months.
