ITEM 8.01 - OTHER EVENTS
On November 10, 2006, ImmunoGen, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMGN) issued a press release to announce the presentation of clinical data from a Phase I study evaluating the Company’s huN901-DM1 anticancer agent for the treatment of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and other CD56-expressing solid tumors. HuN901-DM1 is the only anticancer agent administered in the study and the compound has been found to be well-tolerated. Additionally, huN901-DM1 showed evidence of anticancer activity, including one complete remission in a patient with recurrent Merkel cell cancer and marked tumor shrinkage in a patient with relapsed SCLC. A primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of huN901-DM1 when administered for three days in a row every 21 days. The MTD is not yet defined and enrollment continues.
