Event Summary

Immatics announced that its PRAME-directed cell therapy, using Immatics' PRAME T-cell receptor (TCR), induced deep and durable remission in a 17-year-old pediatric patient with advanced metastatic nephroblastoma. The experimental treatment was conducted at Hopp Children s Cancer Center Heidelberg (KiTZ) and University Hospital Heidelberg (UKHD). The patient, who had exhausted all other treatment options, showed marked regression of liver, lung, and brain metastases, with the response ongoing at six months. Dr. Christian M. Seitz, the treating physician, will present these findings at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026. This success reinforces Immatics' leadership in PRAME targeting and suggests a promising new treatment option for pediatric cancers.
