ImmunoGen Announces Departure of Chief Commercial Officer

ImmunoGen, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMGN), a leader in the expanding field of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of cancer, today announced that Kristen Harrington-Smith, Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), will be departing the Company. Ms. Harrington-Smith is leaving for personal reasons to pursue a new opportunity closer to her home and her departure is unrelated to the Company’s business performance, including expectations relating to the potential approval of mirvetuximab soravtansine (mirvetuximab). She will continue with the Company until November 16, 2022 to support the transition of her responsibilities. Todd Talarico, Vice President of Market Access, will serve as interim leader of the commercial organization pending a search to identify a new permanent CCO.

"We thank Kristen for her significant contributions to the business, particularly her efforts to build a best-in-class commercial organization and to prepare us for the expected launch of mirvetuximab," said Mark Enyedy, ImmunoGen’s President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are highly confident that accelerated approval for mirvetuximab will be granted on or before the November 28, 2022 PDUFA date. Our deep and experienced commercial team is ready to support a successful launch, with our field organization fully staffed, our distribution, market access, and patient support infrastructure in place, and vials of commercial-ready drug product in inventory. We look forward to the opportunity to bring this important product candidate to ovarian cancer patients within the month.”
