Immatics Announces Full Year 2020 Financial Results and Corporate Update

• Phase 1a data update from clinical ACTengine^® programs demonstrated first anti-tumor activity at early phases of dose escalation in heavily pre-treated solid cancer patients
• Enrollment across clinical ACTengine^® IMA200 trial series continues to scale up
• Cash and cash equivalents as well as other financial assets of $285 million¹ (€232 million) as of December 31, 2020 provide cash reach into 2023

Immatics N.V. (NASDAQ: IMTX; “Immatics”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company active in the discovery and development of T cell redirecting cancer immunotherapies, today provided an update on its corporate progress and reported financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2020.

Harpreet Singh, Ph.D., CEO of Immatics commented, “The past year was exceptional for Immatics with the advancement of our pipeline programs, expansion of our leadership team and scientific advisory board and the completion of our listing on the Nasdaq. Building on this foundation, we have recently delivered encouraging data from three clinical TCR-T studies demonstrating first anti-tumor activity in heavily pre-treated solid cancer patients. This early data also constitutes a first clinical validation for our differentiated TCR therapeutics platform. We look forward to reporting further data from our Phase 1 ACTengine^® TCR-T trials as well as the progress in our TCR Bispecifics programs (TCER^®) in the latter part of this year.”

Fourth Quarter 2020 and Subsequent Company Progress

Adoptive Cell Therapy Programs

• ACTengine^® IMA200 series – Immatics provided a clinical data update from three ongoing ACTengine^® Phase 1 trials for its engineered Adoptive Cell Therapy approach (also known as TCR-T) in March. The combined data readout during early phases of dose escalation for the ACTengine^® programs, IMA201, IMA202 and IMA203, indicated first anti-tumor activity with tumor shrinkage observed in 8 out of 10 patients including one unconfirmed partial response as of data cut-off. This was consistent with the observed robust engraftment, persistence and tumor infiltration of infused ACTengine^® T cells. Overall, all product candidates demonstrated a manageable safety and tolerability profile. An additional Phase 1a read-out for IMA201 and IMA203 and initial Phase 1b data for IMA202 from the dose expansion cohort is planned for H2 2021. Submission of a clinical trial application (CTA) for the fourth IMA200 series program, IMA204, remains anticipated for H2 2021. The company presented the first preclinical data for the program in September 2020, which is directed at a novel target, COL6A3 exon 6 that is expressed in the tumor stroma of a variety of solid cancers.

TCR Bispecifics Programs

• IMA401 – Immatics presented preclinical proof-of-concept data from its lead TCER^® program, IMA401, at the European Antibody Congress 2020 in November. IMA401 is an antibody-like, “off-the-shelf” biologic directed against a high-density peptide target derived from MAGEA4/8. Submission of a CTA for IMA401 remains on track by the end of 2021.  
• IMA402 – Immatics plans to announce preclinical proof-of-concept data for its second TCER^® program, IMA402 in Q2 2021. GMP process development activities are targeted to begin at the same time to advance this program towards the Investigational New Drug (IND) stage and clinical development.
