## What Iovance Biotherapeutics does

Iovance Biotherapeutics develops and delivers tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) cell therapy for solid tumor cancers. Its commercial product, Amtagvi, is for previously treated advanced melanoma, and the company's top priority is to drive its commercial success through training and collaboration with healthcare professionals at academic and community authorized treatment centers. Its development pipeline includes TIL cell therapies and next generation approaches in additional solid tumor cancers, including one-time TIL monotherapies for previously treated patients and TIL cell therapy combined with standard of care in earlier treatment settings. Two registrational trials are ongoing in frontline advanced melanoma and previously treated advanced non-small cell lung cancer. The company planned to commence a registrational trial in previously treated advanced undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma and dedifferentiated liposarcoma in the second quarter of 2026. In the European Union, it withdrew its initial marketing authorization application in July 2025 and is working with the European Medicines Agency to resubmit a centralized application in 2026.
