About Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc.

Iovance Biotherapeutics intends to commercialize autologous cell therapy products for solid tumors and blood cancers. Tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy uses a patient’s own immune cells to attack cancer cells. TIL are extracted from tumor tissue and once expanded through a proprietary process are infused back into the patient. After infusion, TIL enter tumor tissue, where they recognize, attack, and destroy the tumor. The company is currently conducting pivotal studies in patients with metastatic melanoma and advanced cervical cancer. In addition, the company’s TIL therapies are being investigated for the treatment of patients with locally advanced, recurrent or metastatic cancers including head and neck and non-small cell lung cancer. Iovance has also developed a T cell therapy for blood cancers called peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) therapy and clinical studies in the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia are being planned.
