ImmunoGen Appoints Tracey L. McCain, Esq. to Its Board of Directors

By: via Business Wire

ImmunoGen Inc. (Nasdaq: IMGN), a leader in the expanding field of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of cancer, today announced the appointment of Tracey L. McCain, Esq. to its Board of Directors.

“We are thrilled to have Tracey join ImmunoGen’s Board of Directors at this critical juncture for the Company,” said Stephen McCluski, ImmunoGen’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. “As ImmunoGen awaits top-line data from the pivotal SORAYA trial for mirvetuximab soravtansine in ovarian cancer this quarter, continues to advance its pipeline, and prepares for potential commercialization next year, Tracey’s impressive legal background supporting a variety of corporate initiatives will be instrumental to the Board and management team in ensuring the Company continues to have best-in-class governance and compliance measures in place.”

Ms. McCain has more than 20 years of legal, management, and transactional experience in the biopharmaceutical industry and currently serves as the Executive Vice President and Chief Legal and Compliance Officer at Blueprint Medicines Corporation. Prior to joining Blueprint, she served as Senior Vice President and Head of Legal for Sanofi Genzyme, was a member of the executive leadership team, and a member of the leadership team for Sanofi’s global legal department. Prior to that, Ms. McCain served as Genzyme’s general counsel after it was acquired by Sanofi in 2011. In her capacity as Genzyme’s general counsel, Ms. McCain was responsible for all aspects of its legal department in the U.S. and throughout Europe, including general corporate, commercial and intellectual property matters, and support of business development initiatives. Prior to Genzyme’s acquisition, Ms. McCain was also responsible for managing the securities and employment law teams and support of non-patent litigation. Before Genzyme, Ms. McCain was an associate at the law firm Palmer & Dodge LLP. She received her B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and her J.D. from Columbia University School of Law.

Ms. McCain stated, “I’m excited to join ImmunoGen’s Board during this pivotal time, as the Company approaches an important clinical readout, while simultaneously progressing the rest of its pipeline of novel ADCs. I look forward to offering my expertise and working with ImmunoGen’s leadership as the Company looks to transition into a fully integrated oncology company next year.”
