BlackRock led a $75 series C round in Immunocore.

BlackRock led a $75 series C funding round in Immunocore, a late-stage biotechnology company. The proceeds will enable Immunocore to further expand and accelerate its growing clinical stage pipeline of ImmTAX™ (Immune mobilising monoclonal TCRs Against Cancer, Infectious Diseases and Autoimmune) molecules, including its lead program tebentafusp (IMCgp100). “This successful financing represents another validating milestone for Immunocore as we continue our pioneering work in the field of soluble, bispecific TCR immunotherapies to treat a broad range of diseases. The support of our new and existing investors represents a further endorsement of the potential of our powerful technology platform. Following the recent positive Phase 3 data for tebentafusp, we are working to progress this investigational agent through the regulatory process as a potential new treatment to metastatic uveal melanoma patients with a high unmet need," Bahija Jallal, Immunocore CEO.
