Read MoreHide Full Article

Waltham, MA-based ImmunoGen, Inc. 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, in four other development-stage candidates in its own pipeline, and in programs in development by its partners Amgen and Bayer among others.

With ImmunoGen not having any approved products in its portfolio, the company earns revenues from royalties, license and milestone payments, and research and development support fees paid by its partners.

ImmunoGen is moving to reporting on a calendar-year basis, effective Jan 1, 2017.

ImmunoGen’s track record has been disappointing with the company missing expectations in the past four quarters. Overall, the company has posted an average negative miss of 19.34%.
