HLA STATUS: HLA-A*02:01+

Elizabeth is a retired teacher who enjoys tutoring high school–level math at her local library. When routine imaging revealed her disease had spread, Elizabeth wanted to know the 1L treatment option that best fits her primary treatment goal of more time with her students.

In 90% of cases, the
liver is the primary location
of metastasis.3

In the phase 3 trial,
52% (n = 131) of KIMMTRAK
patients had hepatic-only
mUM vs 47% (n = 59) with IC.4,†

In addition to the liver,
many patients experience
metasases in the lung, bone,
and other organs.5

In the phase 3 trial,
44% (n = 111) of KIMMTRAK
patients had hepatic and
extrahepatic mUM vs

HLA STATUS: HLA-A*02:01+

Dave is married with 3 children, and his first grandchild is on the way. Since his primary diagnosis in 2024, Dave has learned that his disease has spread. Dave wants as much time as possible with his family, and to select the 1L treatment that is best for him.

UNPRECEDENTED overall survival (OS) benefit with 1L KIMMTRAK4-9

Largest phase 3 trial in mUM evaluated first-line treatment with KIMMTRAK vs investigator's choice.4,10,† 1L KIMMTRAK significantly extended median overall survival by 6 months vs investigator's choice4,10,†

HISTORIC 5-YEAR follow-up analysis of OS2

KIMMTRAK doubled the likelihood of being alive at 5-years: (16%) vs (8%) with investigator's choice2,†
Pinch to zoom

Patients assigned to KIMMTRAK showed a long-term survival advantage at 5 years (KIMMTRAK median overall survival 21.6 months [19.0-24.3] vs 16.9 months [12.9-19.5] with investigator’s choice, 95% CI).2

As of July 2, 2025, all study participants had the opportunity for at least 60 months of follow-up, with a median follow-up of 62.4 months.2

Of the patients surviving at least 5 years2,11:

  • 44% (11 of 25) in the KIMMTRAK arm reported ONLY receiving KIMMTRAK
  • 86% (6 of 7) in the control group received subsequent KIMMTRAK

The planned exploratory 5-YEAR overall survival analysis occurred after the protocol-specified final analysis and was not tested for statistical significance. No statistical conclusions can be drawn.

Mechanism of action

A first-in-class T cell engager directed against mUM10

  • KIMMTRAK is an ImmTAC† molecule that targets gp100, an intracellular antigen presented on the cells of HLA-A*02:01-positive patients with mUM4,10,19
  • KIMMTRAK binds to the gp100/HLA-A*02:01 complex to form an immune synapse, which activates cytotoxic T cells that target and kill gp100-expressing UM tumor cells10,20,21
    • Normal melanocytes could also be targeted21
  • KIMMTRAK has 1 million-fold greater affinity for gp100 presented by HLA-A*02:01 than natural T cell receptors20,22
  • T cell engager directed against mUM based on in vitro and in vivo studies10,21,23
  • *Based on Komodo US medical claims from February 2022 through July 2024 and calibrated with actual vials sold.1
  • Investigator’s choice included checkpoint inhibitors (pembrolizumab and ipilimumab) or chemotherapy (dacarbazine).2,4,10
  • ImmTAC (Immune Mobilizing Monoclonal TCRs Against Cancer) molecules are bispecifics comprised of a T cell receptor targeting domain and an effector function pioneered by Immunocore.10

Indication
 
Important Safety Information Including Boxed Warning

KIMMTRAK is indicated for the treatment of HLA-A*02:01-positive adult patients with unresectable or metastatic uveal melanoma.

WARNING: CYTOKINE RELEASE SYNDROME
Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), which may be serious or life-threatening, occurred in patients receiving KIMMTRAK. Monitor for at least 16 hours following first three infusions and then as clinically indicated.

Indication and Important Safety Information Including Boxed Warning

Indication

KIMMTRAK is a bispecific gp100 peptide-HLA-directed CD3 T cell engager indicated for the treatment of HLA-A*02:01-positive adult patients with unresectable or metastatic uveal melanoma.

Important Safety Information Including Boxed Warning

WARNING: CYTOKINE RELEASE SYNDROME
Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), which may be serious or life-threatening, occurred in patients receiving KIMMTRAK. Monitor for at least 16 hours following first three infusions and then as clinically indicated.
Manifestations of CRS may include fever, hypotension, hypoxia, chills, nausea, vomiting, rash, elevated transaminases, fatigue, and headache. CRS occurred in 89% of patients who received KIMMTRAK with 0.8% being grade 3 or 4. Ensure immediate access to medications and resuscitative equipment to manage CRS. Ensure patients are euvolemic prior to initiating the infusions. Closely monitor patients for signs or symptoms of CRS following infusions of KIMMTRAK. Monitor fluid status, vital signs, and oxygenation level and provide appropriate therapy. Withhold or discontinue KIMMTRAK depending on persistence and severity of CRS.

Skin ReactionsSkin reactions, including rash, pruritus, and cutaneous edema occurred in 91% of patients treated with KIMMTRAK. Monitor patients for skin reactions. If skin reactions occur, treat with antihistamine and topical or systemic steroids based on persistence and severity of symptoms. Withhold or permanently discontinue KIMMTRAK depending on the severity of skin reactions.

Elevated Liver Enzymes Elevations in liver enzymes occurred in 65% of patients treated with KIMMTRAK. Monitor alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total blood bilirubin prior to the start of and during treatment with KIMMTRAK. Withhold KIMMTRAK according to severity.

Embryo-Fetal ToxicityKIMMTRAK may cause fetal harm. Advise pregnant patients of potential risk to the fetus and patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with KIMMTRAK and 1 week after the last dose.

The most common adverse reactions (≥30%) in patients who received KIMMTRAK were cytokine release syndrome, rash, pyrexia, pruritus, fatigue, nausea, chills, abdominal pain, edema, hypotension, dry skin, headache, and vomiting. The most common (≥50%) laboratory abnormalities were decreased lymphocyte count, increased creatinine, increased glucose, increased AST, increased ALT, decreased hemoglobin, and decreased phosphate.
