On June 1, 2026 Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: IOVA), a commercial biotechnology company focused on innovating, developing, and delivering novel polyclonal tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapies for patients with cancer, reported allowance to proceed from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the investigational new drug (IND) application for a Phase 1/2 basket trial of IOV-5001, a next-generation interleukin-12 (IL-12) tethered TIL therapy.

The Phase 1/2 trial will begin enrolling in the second half of 2026 to investigate the safety and efficacy of a one-time IOV-5001 treatment regimen without the use of IL-2. Cohorts include advanced colorectal, triple-negative, and estrogen receptor-low breast cancers, as well as other highly prevalent solid tumors representing more than 100,000 U.S. deaths annually.1

IOV-5001 is engineered to express IL-12 only within the tumor to enhance efficacy, particularly in cancers caused by immunologically cold tumors, and to tether IL-12 to the cell surface to prevent release into the bloodstream to optimize safety. IOV-5001 is designed to safely deliver significantly higher cell doses and improve upon an earlier secreted IL-12 TIL therapy that showed a 63% confirmed objective response rate.2

"Proceeding into the clinical trial of IOV-5001 is a defining moment as we extend our TIL platform across additional prevalent solid tumors," said Frederick Vogt, Ph.D., J.D., Interim Chief Executive Officer and President of Iovance. "By tethering IL-12 to the TIL cell surface and targeting its activity inside the tumor, IOV-5001 is designed to activate cold tumors and open an entirely new frontier of massive opportunities for TIL cell therapy. We look forward to beginning patient enrollment in the second half of 2026."

About IOV-5001
IOV-5001 is an investigational second-generation TIL therapy engineered to express IL-12 only inside the tumor, where it is anchored to the TIL cell surface rather than released into the bloodstream. This design is intended to deliver the antitumor benefit seen with earlier IL-12 TIL therapies while avoiding systemic toxicity. In preclinical studies, IOV-5001 showed stronger antitumor activity and a healthier, more durable T cell profile than unmodified TIL therapies.

On June 1, 2026 IN8bio, Inc., a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative gamma-delta (γδ) T cell therapies and γδ T cell engagers (TCEs) for cancer and autoimmune diseases, reported updated clinical data from its INB-200 Phase 1 and INB-400 Phase 2 studies at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Annual Meeting.

Among patients who received up to six repeat doses of genetically modified gamma delta (γδ) T cells (DeltEx DRI), median progression-free survival (mPFS) reached 13.0 months, nearly double the 6.6 months observed in patients receiving standard-of-care (SOC) alone. mOS has not yet been reached in repeat-dose patients and currently exceeds 19.5 months (+48%), compared to a final mOS of 13.2 months for patients receiving only SOC. Approximately 43% of repeat-dose patients remained alive at 24 months versus only 20% of SOC patients. Data are as of the May 15, 2026 data cutoff.

"These data continue to support the potential of DeltEx DRI to change the treatment landscape for newly diagnosed glioblastoma," said William Ho, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of IN8bio. "Patients today face the same outcomes as patients diagnosed over twenty years ago. Despite more than two decades with little advancement, we are seeing encouraging signals of durable disease control and prolonged survival supported by observed biomarker and immune reconstitution data. The need for new treatments for this devastating cancer is critical."

Glioblastoma (GBM) is among the deadliest cancers. Despite the SOC combination of surgery, radiation, and temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy, known as the Stupp regimen, mOS has remained at only ~14.6 months since 2005. The data presented at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) included findings from 17 treated patients with newly diagnosed GBM receiving IN8bio’s DeltEx DRI γδ T cell therapy in combination with SOC, along with a comparison to contemporaneously enrolled patients receiving only the SOC.

The studies demonstrated that intracranially delivered DeltEx DRI was generally well tolerated, with no dose-limiting toxicities, cytokine release syndrome (CRS), or neurotoxicity events reported.

Additional translational analyses integrating histopathology with artificial intelligence (AI) technology demonstrated that DeltEx DRI treatment drove a cold-to-hot tumor microenvironment shift, with broad T cell infiltration and reduction in immunosuppressive granulocytes not observed in SOC patients. Repeat DeltEx DRI dosing resulting in higher total doses also increased cumulative γδ T cell and CD4+ levels that correlated significantly with overall survival, linking sustained immune reconstitution to improved outcomes in a dose-dependent manner. Taken together these data point to a γδ T cell-mediated local mechanism with systemic reach.

"These findings suggest DeltEx DRI may not only directly target residual tumor cells, but also help sustain immune competency during chemotherapy treatment," said Kate Rochlin Ph.D., President and Chief Operating Officer of IN8bio. "The ability to preserve and restore key immune cell populations while driving local tumor microenvironment remodeling represents an important potential advancement in GBM immunotherapy."

About INB-200 and INB-400

INB-200 and INB-400 are clinical-stage programs evaluating DeltEx DRI, IN8bio’s genetically modified gamma-delta T cell platform designed to resist the lymphodepleting effects of temozolomide chemotherapy. The therapy is intended to allow gamma-delta T cells to remain active during chemotherapy administration and target stress-induced ligands expressed on glioblastoma cells.

The presentations span two randomized Phase 3 trials in advanced NSCLC and a matched adjusted indirect comparison (MAIC) in BCG unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), and collectively evaluate ANKTIVA (nogapendekin alfa inbakicept-pmln), the company’s IL-15 receptor agonist immunotherapy designed to activate natural killer (NK) cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and memory T cells, across multiple solid tumor indications.

"ASCO provides an important opportunity to share emerging clinical and translational data that continue to deepen our understanding of how ANKTIVA-based immunotherapy may restore immune function and rescue or reinvigorate the response to checkpoint inhibitors," said Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, Founder, Executive Chairman, and Global Chief Scientific and Medical Officer of ImmunityBio. "ANKTIVA is the first FDA-approved immunotherapy designed to stimulate NK cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and memory T cells, which are the very immune cells that are depleted in patients with lymphopenia and that are critical to mounting an effective anti-tumor response. Growing long-term survival data across bladder, lung and other solid tumors are beginning to put in focus a compelling hypothesis: that restoring immune competence and addressing lymphopenia may be as a fundamental to cancer care as targeting the tumor itself. These findings reinforce our conviction that the future of immunotherapy lies in activating and amplifying the immune system, not suppressing it."

About ANKTIVA (nogapendekin alfa inbakicept-pmln)

The interleukin-15 (IL-15) cytokine plays a crucial role in the immune system by affecting the development, maintenance, and function of key immune cells—NK and CD8+ killer T cells—that are involved in killing cancer cells. By activating NK cells, ANKTIVA overcomes the tumor escape phase of clones resistant to T cells and restores memory T cell activity with resultant prolonged duration of complete response. ANKTIVA is a first-in-class IL-15 receptor agonist IgG1 fusion complex, consisting of an IL-15 mutant (IL-15N72D) fused with an IL-15 receptor alpha, which binds with high affinity to IL-15 receptors on NK, CD4+, and CD8+ T cells. This fusion complex of ANKTIVA mimics the natural biological properties of the membrane-bound IL-15 receptor alpha, delivering IL-15 by dendritic cells and driving the activation and proliferation of NK cells with the generation of memory killer T cells that have retained immune memory against these tumor clones.
