Immunome Appoints Roee Shahar as Executive Vice President, Commercial

By: via Business Wire

Immunome, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMNM), a biotechnology company focused on the development of first-in-class and best-in-class targeted oncology therapies, today announced the appointment of Roee Shahar as Executive Vice President, Commercial. Mr. Shahar brings over two decades of experience, including successfully launching and commercializing oncology and hematology products at Seagen, Pfizer (following the acquisition of Seagen in December 2023) and Eli Lilly & Company.

“Roee further strengthens an Immunome team whose members have designed, developed and commercialized innovative targeted therapies for cancer patients,” stated Clay Siegall, PhD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Immunome. “His expertise will help us advance a portfolio of targeted oncology agents, particularly AL102, a gamma secretase inhibitor currently in a Phase 3 trial for treatment of desmoid tumors.”

“I share the team’s passion to address the debilitating pain, deformity and, in some cases, life threatening organ damage caused by desmoid tumors,” said Mr. Shahar. “It is an honor to join a company that possesses the vision and courage to tackle challenges in cancer therapy that others will not.”

Prior to joining Immunome, Roee served as Vice President and Franchise Lead for Pfizer, where he managed the combined hematology portfolio resulting from the December 2023 acquisition of Seagen. Before the acquisition, he served as Vice President and Franchise Lead for Seagen, overseeing all commercial activities for hematology (Adcetris®) and cervical cancer (Tivdak®). Mr. Shahar previously served as Marketing Director and Oncology Brand Leader for Eli Lilly & Company with responsibility for the company’s largest oncology brand at the time, Alimta®.

Mr. Shahar earned his B.S. degree from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University.

In addition to a portfolio of discovery-stage ADCs, our pipeline includes AL102, a gamma secretase inhibitor currently in a Phase 3 trial for treatment of desmoid tumors, as well as IM-1021, a ROR1 ADC, and IM-3050, a FAP-targeted radioligand, both of which are the subject of INDs expected to be submitted in the first quarter of 2025.
