• At data cut-off, 10 patients across multiple tumor indications (including NSCLC, head & neck cancer, melanoma, synovial sarcoma and others) received ACTengine® T cell products and had at least one tumor response assessment
• All patients infused were heavily pre-treated, failed all previous therapies and entered the study with recurrent and/or refractory solid tumors

Safety Profile
Treatment-emergent Adverse Events Are Manageable, Transient and Expected for Cell Therapies
Adverse Events:
• Most frequent adverse events were transient cytopenias associated with lymphodepletion
• Transient CRS3 (Grade 1-2) in 13/14 infused patients.
• Transient Grade 1 or 2 ICANS in 3/14 infused patients, resolved within 48h in all cases
Dose-limiting toxicities:
• IMA201 and IMA202: No DLT5 observed
• IMA203: One transient, Grade 3 atrial fibrillation with onset on day 5 post infusion that resolved within 48h after onset. DLT triggered expansion of dose level 2 from three to six patients
All treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) with grade 1-2 occurring in at least 5 patients (incidence ≥31.3%) and additionally all events with grade 3-5 regardless of relatedness to study treatment are presented. Data source: clinical and safety database; hematological adverse events were derived from lab values. Grades were determined according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events, version 5.0. Grades for CRS and ICANS were determined according to CARTOX criteria (Neelapu et al, 2018). Patients are counted only once per adverse event and severity classification.
