Description: IOVA Iovance Biotherapeutics

Iovance Biotherapeutics (IOVA) is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in San Carlos, California, that develops and commercializes autologous cell therapies using tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) for the treatment of solid tumor cancers, with a focus on metastatic melanoma. Autologous TIL therapy is a form of personalized immunotherapy in which a patients own immune cells are extracted from their tumor, expanded outside the body, and reinfused to fight cancer.

The company markets two products: Amtagvi (lifileucel), an individualized T cell therapy approved for adult patients with previously treated advanced or metastatic melanoma, and Proleukin, an interleukin-2 (IL-2) product used to support TIL therapy and indicated for metastatic melanoma and metastatic renal cell carcinoma.

Iovances broader pipeline extends lifileucel into cervical cancer, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), endometrial cancer, and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), alongside next-generation candidates including LN-145 Gen 3, IOV-4001 (gene-edited TIL therapy), IOV-2001 for hematologic cancers, and IOV-3001 to support the TIL regimen. The company maintains research and licensing partnerships with the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute, Cellectis, Novartis Pharma AG, and Boehringer Ingelheim Biopharmaceuticals.

Originally incorporated in 2007 as Lion Biotechnologies, the company rebranded to Iovance Biotherapeutics in June 2017. Listed on NASDAQ since 2010 within the small-cap health care segment, Iovance operates in the biotechnology sub-industry, a sector characterized by long development cycles, regulatory risk, and reliance on clinical trial outcomes and strategic partnerships for commercialization.
