European Patent Granted Covering
INmune Bio's XPro1595
JOLLA, Calif., Aug. 13, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INmune Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB) (the, "Company"), a clinical-stage
immunology company focused on developing treatments that harness the patient's innate immune system to fight disease, announced
today that the European Patent Office (EPO) has granted EP Pat. No. 2,892,547, titled "A DOMINANT NEGATIVE TNF-ALPHA INHIBITOR
FOR USE IN TREATING NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS OF THE CNS," which covers XPro1595 and its peripheral administration for treating
Alzheimer's Disease and other diseases of the CNS. The patent, which is set to expire in 2033, is owned by Xencor, Inc. and
is licensed exclusively to INmune Bio.
patent memorializes the discovery that XPro1595 crosses the blood brain barrier in therapeutically-significant quantities, which
provides for a less invasive peripheral administration of the drug, as opposed to central administration to the CNS," said
Joshua Schoonover, Assoc. General Counsel of INmune Bio. "As a result of this patented discovery, XPro1595 is distinguished
as a next generation anti-TNF therapeutic having properties that are advantageous for treating neuroinflammation."
Bio CEO, RJ Tesi, added: "People from many countries in Europe suffer from a high prevalence of Alzheimer's
disease and other neurologic diseases associated with neuroinflammation. Data from our Phase I trial in AD suggests Xpro1595 may
attenuate neuroinflammation in parts of the brain that are clinically relevant. This European patent gives us the freedom to further
develop XPro1595 for the treatment of neurologic diseases in this important market."
patent comes shortly after INmune Bio's announcement of data showing Xpro1595 decreases neuroinflammation in patients
with Alzheimer's disease. The data shows XPro1595 reduced neuroinflammation by an average of 40.6% in the arcuate
fasciculus, a brain fiber pathway important for language and short-term memory. A Key Opinion Leader Webinar on XPro1595

is a next-generation inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) that acts differently than currently existing TNF inhibitors in that
it neutralizes soluble TNF (sTNF) without affecting trans-membrane TNF (tmTNF) or TNF receptors. XPro1595 could have beneficial
effects in patients with Alzheimer's disease by decreasing neuroinflammation. For more information about the importance of
targeting neuroinflammation in the brain to improve cognitive function and restore neuronal communication visit this section
