Yahoo Finance ImmunoGen (IMGN) Q2 Loss Wider, Revenues Miss
Waltham, MA-based ImmunoGen, Inc. IMGN is a development-stage biotechnology company, which focuses on developing targeted anticancer therapeutics using its antibody-drug conjugate technology (“ADC”). The company’s ADC technology is used in Roche's marketed product, Kadcyla and in programs in development by its partners Amgen and Bayer among others. The company’s lead pipeline candidate, mirvetuximab soravtansine, is being developed for treatment of ovarian cancer.
