INmune Bio Reports New Phase 2 Grey Matter Imaging Data at CTAD Conference
Reinforcing XPro1595's Evidence Base in High-Inflammation Alzheimer's Patients
Boca Raton, FL, Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INmune Bio, Inc.
(NASDAQ: INMB), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing inflammation and immunology therapies targeting innate immune dysfunction,
announces new neuroimaging data from its Phase 2 MINDFuL trial of XPro1595 in patients with early Alzheimer's disease (AD) and elevated
neuroinflammation. The results will be presented at the 18th Clinical Trials on Alzheimer's Disease conference (CTAD), being held
on December 1-4, 2025 in San Diego, CA.
The new analyses add to the growing body of clinical, biomarker, and
imaging evidence supporting XPro1595's mechanism of selectively neutralizing soluble TNF (sTNF). The data further validate the Company's
strategy of targeting inflammation-driven AD, a large, underserved subset representing a significant unmet need and potential commercial
New Grey Matter Signals Strengthen Biological Rationale for XPro1595
Using PerpPD+, a next-generation MRI imaging analysis that quantifies
the diffusion components of water molecules that are perpendicular to the cortical gray matter's minicolumns in the brain (PerpDP+,
from Oxford Brain Diagnostics), investigators observed a trend towards slowed neurodegeneration progression in patients receiving XPro1595.
These analyses focused on participants with early AD and high inflammatory burden (ADi), including the dose-compliant subgroup.
The PerpPD+ findings suggest attenuated increases in cortical
disarray, an imaging hallmark associated with neurodegeneration. These results reinforce previously reported directional improvements
across biological, cognitive, and neuropsychiatric endpoints and align with XPro1595's mechanism of reducing innate immune dysfunction.
"These PerpDP+ data represent one of the clearest signals yet
that selectively neutralizing soluble TNF can interrupt the neurodegenerative cascade at its microstructural root in AD driven by inflammation,"
said Dr. CJ Barnum, Head of Neuroscience at INmune Bio. "We are excited to analyze the remaining imaging data and to report on this
at subsequent meetings and in publications."
Dr. Steven Chance, CEO of Oxford Brain Diagnostics added:
"XPro1595 is one of the pioneering interventions to examine the
powerful role the innate immune system plays in Alzheimer's disease pathology. Quantitative and precise biomarkers like cortical
disarray measurement (CDM) was one of the secondary outcome measures in INmune Bio's Phase 2 Alzheimer's study. In the dose
compliant participants, CDM showed a trend for reduced cortical disarray, indicating lower neurodegeneration."
Additional Imaging Analyses Expected in 2026
INmune Bio confirmed that additional MRI analyses from the MINDFuL
trial are ongoing and will be presented when available. These forthcoming data are expected to provide a broader picture of XPro1595's
tissue-level impact on both gray- and white-matter integrity in ADi.
The Company believes totality of data generated to date, including
the neuroimaging findings, position XPro1595 as a promising first-in-class disease-modifying therapy for the large subset of Alzheimer's
patients with elevated neuroinflammation. This population has limited treatment options, and no currently approved therapy is designed
to target innate immune dysfunction.
XPro (Xpro1595, pegipanermin) is a next-generation
inhibitor of soluble tumor necrosis factor (sTNF) that preserves trans-membrane TNF (tmTNF) and TNF-receptor signaling. By selective neutralizing
sTNF, XPro aims to restore healthy innate immune function without the immunosuppressive liabilities associated with traditional
TNF inhibitors. XPro is currently in clinical development for neurological diseases driven by chronic inflammation.
