LA JOLLA, Calif., Aug. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INmune Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB) (the “Company”), an immunology company developing treatments that harness the patient’s innate immune system to fight disease today reported its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020 and is providing a business update. INmune Bio will hold a conference call today at 4:30 PM Eastern Time. To participate in the call, please dial 415-226-5355 five minutes before the scheduled time.

“In the second quarter, and year to date, INmune Bio continued to progress forward with both of our clinical platforms,” stated RJ Tesi, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of INmune Bio. “We announced interim Phase Ib data demonstrating that our Alzheimer’s Disease candidate, XPro1595, can reduce neuroinflammation. Our progress with XPro1595 supports our overall strategy to create platforms of therapeutics, based on reducing inflammation by targeting the innate immune system to fight disease.  We are planning a number of programs employing this approach in NASH, MUC4 expressing HER2+ cancer, ALS and complications of cytokine storm caused by COVID-19.  With the Natural Killer Priming platform, we anticipate INKmune™ Phase I in high-risk MDS to start the second half of this year.”

Q2 2020 and Recent Corporate Highlights

DN-TNF Platform Highlights:

  • Announced interim Phase Ib data demonstrating that XPro1595 decreases neuroinflammation in patients with Alzheimer's Disease - XPro1595 reduced neuroinflammation by 40.6% in a white matter tract important for learning and memory.
  • Announced combination therapy of Lapatinib with INB03 may be used to overcome resistance to trastuzumab in women with MUC4+/HER2+ breast cancer.  This work was presented at the AACR 2020 by Dr. Roxana Schillaci and may form the basis for a Phase II program in patients with MUC4 expressing HER2+ cancer.
  • Initiated a clinical program to test targeting soluble TNF (Quellor™), one of the key components of the cytokine storm, using our TNF Inhibitor (DN-TNF) Platform to prevent complications of COVID-19 infection. 
  • Frontiers in Oncology published an invited entitled Tumor Necrosis Factor α Blockade: an Opportunity to Tackle Breast Cancer by Prof. Roxana Schillaci, a leader in the field of TNF in cancer.

NK Priming Platform Highlights:

  • Received regulatory clearance from UK MHRA to initiate a Phase I Trial of INKmune in patients with high-risk MDS - study will be the first-in man trial for INKmune – a novel therapy to prime the patient’s own NK cells to attack their cancer.
  • Announced allowance of U.S. Patent covering method for treating cancer by in-vivo priming of natural killer cells.
  • Received notice of allowance in counterpart patent in Australia covering method for treating cancer by in-vivo priming of natural killer cells.
