Tebentafusp-tebn (CAS 2436813-77-9; NIOSH HD Category 1) is the first ImmTAC (Immune-mobilising monoclonal TCR Against Cancer) ever FDA approved and the first therapy ever approved for unresectable/metastatic uveal melanoma, establishing the 142nd mechanism class in the Glyphward adversarial portfolio. Developed by Immunocore Holdings plc (Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK), tebentafusp-tebn (IMCgp100-002; Kimmtrak) is a bispecific fusion protein (MW ~90 kDa) consisting of an affinity-enhanced gp100-specific αβ T-cell receptor (HLA-A*02:01-restricted gp100 280-288 [YLEPGPVTAV] peptide recognition; native TCR KD ~200 µM → engineered KD ~10 pM via CDR mutations; >10⁷-fold affinity enhancement; native αβ TCR heterodimeric structure preserved) fused to a humanized anti-CD3ε scFv (OKT3-derived; redirects CD3+ T cells to kill gp100+ uveal melanoma cells). Active only in HLA-A*02:01+ patients (~50% of Caucasian population; HLA typing mandatory). IMCgp100-202 (NCT03070392) demonstrated OS HR 0.51 (95% CI 0.37-0.71; p<0.0001) in HLA-A*02:01+ metastatic uveal melanoma. BLA 761217 approved January 25 2022. No OEL exists for tebentafusp in any EHS framework; no platform references gp100 PMEL melanosome biology, HLA-A*02:01 peptide-MHC restriction, native TCR αβ affinity engineering, or ImmTAC bispecific fusion protein structure for this ImmTAC mechanism class.

gp100 Melanosome Protein Biology and ImmTAC TCR Affinity Engineering: Structural Basis for HLA-A*02:01-Restricted T-Cell Redirection in Uveal Melanoma
gp100 (glycoprotein 100; PMEL; PMEL17; silver locus protein; chromosome 12q13.3; 661 amino acids; MW ~100 kDa glycosylated) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein selectively expressed in melanocytes and melanocytic tumors (cutaneous melanoma, uveal melanoma) functioning in melanosome biogenesis via fibrillar matrix formation (amyloid-like repeat domain RPT [residues 310-444] undergoes pH-dependent fibrillar assembly in maturing melanosomes → provides scaffold for melanin polymerization). gp100 is processed by proteasomes → 9-mer peptide gp100 280-288 (YLEPGPVTAV) → TAP1/TAP2-dependent ER translocation → HLA-A*02:01 (HLA-A*0201; most common HLA-A allele; HLAA-A*02 group ~50% European; HLA-A*02:01 specifically ~26% US) peptide-MHC I loading → cell surface presentation. Uveal melanoma (UM) is a rare (5-6/100,000/year; ~1,500 US cases/year) intraocular melanoma driven by GNAQ/GNA11 (Gα subunit Q209L or R183C activating mutations; ~90% UM) activating PKCβ → MAPK → proliferation; and YAP/TAZ → TEAD → pro-survival; UM lacks BRAF V600E/NRAS Q61 mutations; develops liver metastases in ~50%; historically had no approved systemic therapy (PD-1/CTLA-4 checkpoint inhibitors achieve ORR <5% in UM). ImmTAC affinity engineering: native gp100-reactive TCR (KD ~200 µM; natural T-cell activation threshold below therapeutic utility) → CDR1α Thr26→Ser + CDR2α Ser51→Thr + CDR3α mutations + CDR2β Gln55→Lys + CDR3β mutations → KD ~10 pM (>10⁷-fold enhancement) while maintaining native αβ TCR heterodimeric architecture (TCR Vα + Vβ with Cα/Cβ constant domains; not scFv — this preserves the natural contact geometry for pMHC recognition). The fused anti-CD3ε scFv (OKT3 CDRs grafted onto human framework; Kd ~6 nM) recruits any CD3+ T cell regardless of their native TCR specificity → polyclonal T-cell-mediated cytotoxicity of gp100+/HLA-A*02:01+ uveal melanoma cells. CRS (cytokine release from activated T cells) in 89% of patients; step-up dosing (20 µg → 68 µg → 100 µg IV weekly) mitigates severe CRS. No EHS platform in use at uveal melanoma treatment or biologic manufacturing sites contains any record of gp100 PMEL melanosome matrix biology, HLA-A*02:01 peptide-MHC I restriction mechanism, native TCR αβ CDR affinity engineering, or ImmTAC step-up dosing CRS risk for this ImmTAC mechanism class.
