XPro is a next-generation inhibitor
of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) that is currently in clinical trial and acts differently than currently available TNF inhibitors in that
it neutralizes soluble TNF (sTNF), without affecting trans-membrane TNF (tmTNF) or TNF receptors. XPro could have potential substantial
beneficial effects in patients with neurologic 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 of the INmune Bio's website.
INKmune is a pharmaceutical-grade,
replication-incompetent human tumor cell line which conjugates to resting NK cells and delivers multiple, essential priming signals to
convert the cancer patient's resting NK cells into tumor killing memory-like NK cells (mlNK cells). INKmune treatment
converts the patient's own NK cells into mlNK cells. In patients, INKmune primed tumor killing NK cells persist for more
than 100 days and function in the hypoxic TME because due to upregulated nutrient and mitochondrial survival proteins. INKmune
is a patient friendly that does not require pre-medication, conditioning or additional cytokine therapy given to the patients. INKmune
is easily transported, stored and delivered to the patient by a simple intravenous infusion as an out-patient. INKmune is tumor
agnostic; it can be used to treat many types of NK-resistant tumors including leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, lung, ovarian, breast, renal
and nasopharyngeal cancer. INKmune is treating patients in an open label Phase I trial in high-MDS/AML in the UK and Europe.
The company plans an open label Phase I/II trial in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in the US this year.

traded (NASDAQ: INMB), clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing treatments that target the innate immune system to fight
