Pipeline highlights:
Lacutamab (IPH4102, anti-KIR3DL2 antibody):
Final MF and SS data expected in H2 2023. Innate continues to see progress for lacutamab with final data from the TELLOMAK Phase 2 trial for both mycosis fungoides (MF) and S zary syndrome (SS) expected in H2 2023.
Initial PTCL data are expected in H2 2023. Two parallel clinical trials to study lacutamab in patients with KIR3DL2-expressing, relapsed/refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) are ongoing.
ANKET (Antibody-based NK cell Engager Therapeutics):
ANKET is Innate's proprietary platform for developing next-generation, multi-specific NK cell engagers to treat certain types of cancer. Innate's pipeline includes four public drug candidates born from the ANKET
platform: IPH6101 (CD123-targeted), IPH6401 (BCMA-targeted), IPH62 (B7-H3-targeted) and tetra-specific IPH6501 (CD20-targeted). Several other undisclosed proprietary preclinical targets are being explored.
IPH6101, IPH6401 and IPH62 (partnered with Sanofi)
The Phase 1/2 clinical trial by Sanofi is progressing well, evaluating IPH6101/SAR'579, the first NKp46/CD16-based CD123-targeted ANKET platform NK cell engager, in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
(AML), B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome.
Preclinical data showing the control of AML cells by a trifunctional NKp46-CD16a-NK cell engager targeting CD123 were published in Nature Biotechnology in January 2023.
An abstract entitled "A first-in-human study of CD123 NK cell engager SAR443579 in relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia, B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or high-risk myelodysplasia" has been selected for oral
presentation at the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Annual Meeting, taking place June 2-6, 2023 in Chicago, IL.
Partner Sanofi continues to progress IPH6401/SAR'514, a BCMA-targeting NK cell engager into investigational new drug (IND)-enabling studies.
Sanofi presented preclinical data showing IPH6401/SAR'514 has potent in-vitro, in-vivo and ex-vivo anti-myeloma effect through dual NK cell engagement in a poster at the American Association for Cancer Research
(AACR) 2023 in April.
As announced on December 19, 2022, Sanofi also licensed IPH62, a NK cell engager program targeting B7-H3 from Innate's ANKET platform. Sanofi also have the option to add up to two additional ANKET targets. Upon
candidate selection, Sanofi will be responsible for all development, manufacturing and commercialization. Under the terms of the agreement, Innate received a 25m upfront payment and is eligible for up to 1.35bn total in preclinical,
clinical, regulatory and commercial milestones plus royalties on potential net sales.
IPH6501 (proprietary)
IPH6501 continues toward a Phase 1 clinical trial in 2023 for the proprietary CD20 targeted tetra-specific ANKET .
Monalizumab (anti-NKG2A antibody), partnered with AstraZeneca:
Innate continues to see progress for monalizumab in the early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) setting, with the ongoing Phase 3 PACIFIC-9 study run by AstraZeneca. The study is evaluating durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) in combination with
monalizumab or AstraZeneca's oleclumab (anti-CD73) in patients with unresectable, Stage III NSCLC who have not progressed following definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CRT).
Two monalizumab abstracts have been accepted for "Trial in progress" posters at the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Annual Meeting, taking place June 2-6, 2023 in Chicago, IL:
Phase 3 study of durvalumab combined with oleclumab or monalizumab in patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC (PACIFIC-9).
NeoCOAST-2: A Phase 2 study of neoadjuvant durvalumab plus novel immunotherapies (IO) and chemotherapy (CT) or MEDI5752 (volrustomig) plus CT, followed by surgery and adjuvant durvalumab plus novel IO or volrustomig alone in
patients with resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
IPH5201 (anti-CD39), partnered with AstraZeneca:
The MATISSE Phase 2 clinical trial conducted by Innate in neoadjuvant lung cancer for IPH5201, an anti-CD39 blocking monoclonal antibody developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca, has started and is awaiting first patient dosed.
IPH5301 (anti-CD73):
The investigator-sponsored CHANCES Phase 1 trial of IPH5301, in collaboration with Institut Paoli-Calmettes is ongoing.
In April 2023, Innate announced that it has entered into an exclusive license agreement with Takeda under which Innate grants Takeda exclusive worldwide rights to research and develop antibody drug conjugates (ADC) using a panel of
selected Innate antibodies against an undisclosed target, with a primary focus in Celiac disease. Under the terms of the license agreement, Innate is due to receive a $5m upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to $410m in future
development, regulatory and commercial milestones if all milestones are achieved during the term of the agreement, plus royalties on potential net sales of any commercial product resulting from the license.
