Immuneering Corporation (NASDAQ:IMRX), a late-stage clinical oncology company focused on keeping cancer patients alive and helping them thrive, today reported a 17.3-month median overall survival (OS) in first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer patients treated in its Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating atebimetinib (IMM-1-104) plus modified gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (mGnP), as of the April 24, 2026 data cutoff date. The only treatment-related adverse events observed at Grade 3 or higher in ≥10% of patients were anemia (16%) and neutropenia (18%), both chemotherapy-related. The full data (N=55) including details on OS, progression free survival (PFS), response, safety, weight stability/gain, and other relevant information will be shared in an oral presentation at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting by Peter Vu, MD, MHA of UC San Diego Health, on June 1, 2026, at 1:15 p.m. CDT.
"In my own patients on this trial, I have seen meaningful benefit without the functional decline I am accustomed to seeing in this disease — patients holding their weight, their energy, and their sense of themselves across many months of treatment," said Daniel Ahn, D.O., Mayo Clinic Arizona, an investigator on the Phase 2a trial of atebimetinib. "When the field has more than one effective first-line option, the deciding factor at the bedside will be tolerability."
"A 17.3-month median overall survival is a meaningful result for first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer patients," said Ben Zeskind, Ph.D., CEO of Immuneering. "Importantly, only two categories of Grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events were observed in 10% or more of patients, both chemotherapy-related. These findings support our randomized Phase 3 clinical trial, MAPKeeper 301, which is now recruiting. We look forward to Dr. Vu's presentation of the full data at ASCO on June 1."
The company will share data from the expanded cohort totaling 55 first-line patients at ASCO on June 1, 2026, which includes an initial cohort of 34 patients that the company previously reported, plus an additional 21 patients. The company's pivotal Phase 3 MAPKeeper 301 (NCT07562152) trial of atebimetinib + mGnP in patients with first-line metastatic pancreatic cancer is currently recruiting, and the company is on track to dose the first patient in mid-2026.
