“Over the past year, we took great strides forward in our goal of advancing TIL therapy towards approval in multiple indications and bringing this one-time treatment to patients who have progressed through existing treatment options,” commented Maria Fardis, Ph.D., MBA, president and chief executive officer of Iovance Biotherapeutics. “We reported clinical results for our lead program in metastatic melanoma, received acknowledgement from the FDA on a defined path to approval with a single-arm study and have firmly established our optimized, scalable, 22-day manufacturing process. We are well financed to complete the registration-enabling study, Cohort 4, and file the Biologics License Application (BLA) in 2020 for lifileucel. The regenerative medicine advanced therapy (RMAT) designation we received this past year for lifileucel allows for close coordination with the FDA as we move forward. Now that we have demonstrated compelling data in post PD-1 melanoma patients and have received regulatory clarity, we continue our development work in additional indications, such as cervical, while preparing to build internal manufacturing capabilities. Our goals for 2019 will further propel Iovance towards registration and commercialization of TIL therapy.”
