Immunocore Limited, a leading T Cell Receptor (TCR) biotechnology company, today announced the start of the first-in-human clinical trial of IMC-C103C, the third bispecific developed using the company’s innovative ImmTAC® technology platform.

The trial (IMC-C103C-101) is designed to study the safety and preliminary activity of IMC-C103C as a monotherapy and in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq® ) in patients with MAGE-A4-expressing cancers.
