Im­muno­Gen touts a PhI­II come­back in ovar­i­an can­cer, eye­ing a 2022 ac­cel­er­at­ed ap­proval

When Im­muno­Gen’s lead an­ti­body-drug con­ju­gate flunked a Phase III study in ovar­i­an can­cer a cou­ple years ago, the com­pa­ny clung to hope that it would per­form bet­ter in a sub­group of pa­tients with high fo­late re­cep­tor al­pha (FRα) ex­pres­sion.

On Tues­day, re­searchers un­corked topline Phase III re­sults sug­gest­ing it was right — and in­vestors cheered on the news with a 40% boost to Im­muno­Gen’s stock price $IMGN. CEO Mark Enyedy says he’s go­ing af­ter an ac­cel­er­at­ed ap­proval and plans to file in the first quar­ter of 2022.
