Corporate Update

INVINCIBLE-4 Study: Phase 2 randomized open-label, multicenter study to analyze the clinical activity, safety, and tolerability of INT230-6 given before administration of the standard of care ("SOC") treatment in patients with early-stage, operable triple-negative breast cancer and SOC alone. The primary endpoint is the change in the pathological complete response rate for the combination compared to the SOC alone. In April, the European Medicines Agency authorized the initiation of the INVINCIBLE-4 Study in France in collaboration with Unicancer (UCBG), the French referent cooperative group in breast cancer accredited by the French National Cancer Institute (INCa).

The INVINCIBLE-4 Study is currently recruiting patients in Switzerland and France. The expected total is 54 patients. In June 2025 we showed images from the trial of a patient who received two doses of INT230-6. Prior to the injections, the tumor was active. In the post INT230-6 injection scans, the tumor became dark with only diminished live cancer observed at the interface of the healthy tissue and necrotic tumor.

INVINCIBLE-3 Study: Phase 3 open-label, randomized study testing INT230-6 as monotherapy compared to the SOC drugs in second and third line treatment for specific soft tissue sarcoma subtypes. This study has been authorized by the US FDA, Health Canada, the European Medicines Agency (for France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain), and Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration. The primary endpoint in the INVINCIBLE-3 Study is overall survival. In March 2025, new patient enrollment and site activations were paused due to funding issues; however, patients who were already enrolled continue to be dosed, followed and monitored.

Capital Raises and Cash Runway: Since the beginning of the second quarter of 2025, the Company has raised an aggregate of $11.3 million, with net proceeds of approximately $10.1 million in two public offerings and At-the Market offerings (the "ATM"), and has extended its cash runway into the second half of 2026.
•In April 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors participating in a public offering and raised an aggregate of $2.35 million, with net proceeds after deducting the fees and expenses of approximately $1.9 million.
•In June 2025, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement with ThinkEquity LLC in a public offering and raised an aggregate of $2.3 million, with net proceeds after deducting the fees and expenses of approximately $1.8 million.
•In July 2025, the Company raised an aggregate of $6.6 million via its ATM, with net proceeds after deducting the fees and expenses of approximately $6.3 million.

"In a challenging financial market, we were able to raise capital and lower our burn rate during the second quarter to continue to treat patients in our two studies, and in July 2025, high liquidity in our stock allowed us to raise additional gross proceeds of $6.6 million at a lower incremental cost. This new capital extends our operating runway considerably, with the remaining capacity under the ATM facility to be used selectively and strategically. Given the capital raised to date, we also believe that we are now compliant with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity listing requirements, pending Nasdaq’s confirmation," stated Lewis H. Bender, Intensity Founder, President, and CEO. "In the INVINCIBLE-4 Study, scan images indicate a substantial decrease in tumor activity following two doses of our drug as patients begin their immune-chemo regimen. Based on our prior studies, we believe this effect should be beneficial in increasing the pathological response rate in the cohort of patients receiving our drug and expect to obtain pathology data in 2H of 2026. Lastly, as always, the Company is driven by a focus on patients. This quarter, we strengthen that commitment by forming a collaboration with the author, model, executive producer, speaker, and breast cancer survivor Christine Handy to raise patient awareness of new treatment options on the horizon for patients with early-stage disease."

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Research and development expenses were $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $3.6 million for the same period in 2024. Clinical trial expenses decreased $1.5 million primarily due to lower INVINCIBLE-3 Study costs. In March 2025, the Company paused new site activations and patient enrollments in the INVINCIBLE-3 Study, due to funding constraints. Prior to this pause, the trial had enrolled 23 patients. The Company will continue to treat all patients enrolled in this study in cooperation with our third-party contract research organizations during this pause, and once sufficient funding is obtained, the Company plans to restart site activations and patient enrollment.

General and administrative expenses were $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2024. Insurance expense decreased due to the favorable directors and officers insurance renewal terms compared to the prior policy year, and legal and other expenses decreased as a result of cost saving from the integration of new systems in the administrative areas.

Overall, net loss was $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a net loss of $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents totaled $2.2 million.

About INT230-6
INT230-6, Intensity’s lead proprietary investigational product candidate, is designed for direct intratumoral injection. INT230-6 was discovered using Intensity’s proprietary DfuseRx℠ technology platform. The drug consists of two proven, potent anti-cancer agents, cisplatin and vinblastine sulfate, and a diffusion and cell penetration enhancer molecule ("SHAO") that facilitates the dispersion of potent cytotoxic drugs throughout tumors, allowing the active agents to diffuse into cancer cells. These agents remain in the tumor, resulting in a favorable safety profile. In addition to local disease control and direct tumor killing, INT230-6 causes a release of a bolus of neoantigens specific to the malignancy, leading to immune system engagement and systemic anti-tumor effects. Importantly, these effects are mediated without immunosuppression, which often occurs with systemic chemotherapy.

On August 7, 2025 Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTLA), a leading clinical-stage gene editing company focused on revolutionizing medicine with CRISPR-based therapies, reported operational highlights and financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Press release, Intellia, AUG 7, 2025, View Source [SID1234654984]).

"We are exceeding many of our internal expectations," said Intellia President and Chief Executive Officer John Leonard, M.D. "The enthusiasm from both patients and physicians for Intellia’s late-stage programs has resulted in strong enrollment numbers that allow us to plan to enhance the Phase 3 MAGNITUDE trial in ATTR-CM and accelerate completion of the Phase 3 HAELO study in HAE ahead of our original plans. We are full steam ahead in achieving our mission of getting one-time therapies to more patients."

Second Quarter 2025 and Recent Operational Highlights

Hereditary Angioedema (HAE)

Lonvoguran ziclumeran (lonvo-z, also known as NTLA-2002): Lonvo-z is a wholly owned, investigational in vivo CRISPR-based therapy designed to knock out the KLKB1 gene in the liver, with the goal of lifelong control of HAE attacks after a single dose.
Recruitment ended earlier than expected during the second quarter and the Company now expects to complete randomization in the global Phase 3 HAELO study during the third quarter 2025.
Intellia presented three-year follow-up data from the Phase 1 portion of the ongoing Phase 1/2 study after receiving a single dose of lonvo-z. Results were shared in an oral presentation at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) Congress 2025 on June 15 in Glasgow, United Kingdom. In the Phase 1 portion of the study, a one-time dose of 25 mg (N=3), 50 mg (N=4) or 75 mg (N=3) of lonvo-z was administered via intravenous infusion and plasma kallikrein protein levels were measured along with HAE attacks. At the time of the February 12, 2025 data cutoff, all 10 patients were attack-free and treatment-free for a median of nearly two years. With up to three years of follow-up, a single dose of lonvo-z led to a mean reduction in monthly HAE attack rate of 98% over the study period, compared to pre-treatment baseline. For all 10 patients, deep, dose-dependent and durable reductions in plasma kallikrein protein continued to be observed through the latest assessment. Across all three dose levels, lonvo-z was generally well tolerated and showed a safety profile consistent with earlier data presented at EAACI in 2024. The most frequent adverse events during the study period were infusion-related reactions (IRRs). IRRs were mostly Grade 1 and resolved with all patients receiving the full dose. With up to three years of follow-up, no treatment-emergent serious adverse events were observed, and no treatment-related adverse events were observed during the period following 28 days after dosing.
Intellia expects to present additional data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study in the second half of 2025.
The Company is on track to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) in the second half of 2026.

Transthyretin (ATTR) Amyloidosis

Nexiguran ziclumeran (nex-z, also known as NTLA-2001): Nex-z is an investigational in vivo CRISPR-based therapy designed to inactivate the TTR gene in liver cells, thereby preventing the production of transthyretin (TTR) protein for the treatment of ATTR amyloidosis. Nex-z offers the possibility of halting and reversing the disease by driving a deep, consistent and potentially lifelong reduction in TTR protein after a single dose. Intellia leads development and commercialization of nex-z in collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
ATTR Amyloidosis with Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM):
Enrollment in the global Phase 3 MAGNITUDE trial is progressing ahead of the Company’s projections and the Company is tracking to enroll at least 650 patients cumulatively by year-end. Intellia is amending the MAGNITUDE study to expand enrollment to approximately 1,200 patients from 765 patients, subject to health authority review. Expanding the patient number in the study would provide a more robust dataset, particularly in the stabilizer stratum, which we believe will be very important to patients, clinicians, and payers. This change has no expected impact on previously projected enrollment timelines or the Company’s projected cash runway.
In May 2025, the Company presented Phase 1 wild-type vs. variant ATTR-CM data at the Heart Failure 2025 Meeting in Belgrade, Serbia. The data showed that nex-z reduced TTR production and showed promise for treating both wild-type (ATTRwt) and variant (ATTRv) ATTR-CM with a favorable safety profile. Absolute TTR levels dropped from 222.4 to 16.5 μg/mL (ATTRwt) and 132.0 to 16.6 μg/mL (ATTRv). Functional capacity and clinical biomarkers were favorably impacted in both patient groups. Evidence of stability or improvement in disease progression markers were observed across both populations at similar rates. The most commonly reported treatment-related adverse events were IRR, which were mild or moderate, and did not result in any discontinuations. Observed liver enzyme abnormalities were not considered serious, were asymptomatic and resolved spontaneously without medical intervention or sequelae.
Intellia expects to present longer-term data from ATTR-CM patients in the Phase 1 study in the second half of 2025. The data will include updated measures of clinical efficacy and safety.
Hereditary ATTR Amyloidosis with Polyneuropathy (ATTRv-PN):
Enrollment is ahead of schedule in the global Phase 3 MAGNITUDE-2 study. Intellia now expects enrollment to be completed in the first half of 2026.
In May 2025, the Company presented positive two-year follow-up Phase 1 data in an oral presentation at the 2025 Peripheral Nerve Society (PNS) Annual Meeting in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Across patients who received a one-time dose of 0.3 mg/kg or higher (n=33), the mean serum TTR reduction by Day 28 was 90% (corresponding mean absolute serum TTR level of 23.8 µg/mL), with levels remaining virtually unchanged through at least 24 months. Among the 18 patients with 24 month mNIS+7 endpoint assessments, 13 showed improvements of ≥ 4 points, which is considered to be a clinically meaningful threshold. Most of the patients in the cohort who had progressed on patisiran improved, and only a single patient among the 18 had a deterioration of ≥ 4. Nex-z was generally well tolerated across all patients and at all dose levels tested. Treatment-related adverse events were consistent with those described for the cardiomyopathy population.
In September 2025, the Company will present interim Phase 1 extended data in a symposium at the 5th International ATTR Amyloidosis Meeting for Patients and Doctors in Baveno, Italy.

Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $630.5 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to $861.7 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities includes approximately $65.0 million of non-recurring cash payments in the first half of 2025 associated with the Company’s previously announced portfolio prioritization, workforce reduction, and real estate consolidation. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2025 are expected to fund operations into the first half of 2027 and into the anticipated first commercial launch.
Collaboration Revenue: Collaboration revenue was $14.2 million during the second quarter of 2025, compared to $6.9 million during the second quarter of 2024. The $7.3 million increase was mainly driven by cost reimbursements related to our collaboration with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
R&D Expenses: Research and development (R&D) expenses were $97.0 million during the second quarter of 2025, compared to $114.2 million during the second quarter of 2024. The $17.2 million decrease was primarily driven by employee-related expenses, stock-based compensation, research materials and contracted services offset by an increase in the advancement of our lead programs. Stock-based compensation expense included in R&D expenses was $14.1 million for the second quarter of 2025.
G&A Expenses: General and administrative (G&A) expenses were $27.2 million during the second quarter of 2025, compared to $31.8 million during the second quarter of 2024. The $4.6 million decrease was primarily related to lower stock-based compensation, offset in part by increased expenses related to the ongoing buildout of our commercial infrastructure. Stock-based compensation expense included in G&A expenses was $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2025.
Net Loss: Net loss was $101.3 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $147.0 million during the second quarter of 2024.

Q2 2025 and Recent Corporate Highlights

DN-TNF Platform Highlights (XPro):

● Released top-line data from the MINDFuL phase 2 trial in 208 patients with MCI and early Alzheimer’s.

● The trial missed its primary cognitive endpoints in the 200 modified mITT patients enrolled, however;

● XPro demonstrated a positive impact on the primary cognitive endpoint EMACC in a pre-defined subset of 100 patients (50%) with two or more biomarkers of inflammation, defined as the enriched population.

● Additional data from the MINDFuL trial was presented by a Key Opinion Leader, Dr. Sharon Cohen of the Toronto Memory Program, at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) on July 29th. This data is summarized in the forest plot below.

Figure Legend: With the enriched population underpowered for detecting statistically significant changes, the Company and third-party statisticians relied on Cohen’s d effect sizes to evaluate the meaningfulness of observed changes. These effect sizes, though small, consistently favored XPro over placebo on the primary endpoint and multiple secondary and exploratory endpoints (see figure). Across most endpoints, XPro showed favorable trends, with effect sizes approaching the 0.2 threshold for clinical relevance.

The clinical endpoints shown in the forest plot include:

● EMACC (Early Mild Alzheimer’s Cognitive Composite)-Performance-based measure of Cognition: empirically derived composite of neuropsychological tests that are widely used in clinics.

● ISRL (International Shopping List Test, delayed recall) – Performance-based measure of Memory. Delayed recall component of widely used word-list learning test.

● CDR-SB (Clinical Dementia Rating Scale – Sum of Boxes) – Clinician-rated measure that combines Cognition and Function: interview with study partner and patient as well as some performance-based items completed by patient.

● NPI (Neuropsychiatric Interview) – Caregiver-reported measure of the patient’s psychiatric symptoms.

● ECog (Everyday Cognition) – Caregiver reported questionnaire: caregiver rates the patient’s change in cognition (skills now as compared to 10 years ago – prior to cognitive decline)

● GAS (Goal Attainment Scale) Personalized Patient and caregiver-rated scale where the specific goals and items are chosen by patient and caregiver and they rate change on the goals over the course of the study.

● Presented a poster at the Keystone Symposia that showed that XPro significantly reduces amyloid formation and improves clinical measures of brain function in patients with TBI (tTaumatic Brain Injury).

CORDStrom Platform:

● Received a favorable written opinion from The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), acting as the International Search Authority, on all claims in INmune Bio’s international patent application PCT/US25/17028, titled "THERAPEUTIC COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING POOLED, CULTURE-EXPANDED HUMAN UMBILICAL CORD DERIVED MESENCHYMAL STROMAL CELLS."

● Partnered with the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult (CGT Catapult) to establish large-scale, commercial-ready manufacturing for CORDStrom and the Company’s other cell therapy platforms. This is an essential part of our ambitious timeline to transfer the manufacturing site, validate the large-scale manufacturing process and all of the analytical assays in time for MAA and BLA submissions next year. Much of this work continues to provide data to strengthen our existing IP position portfolio.

● The complete database of clinical data from the randomized, double-blind trial of CORDStrom in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) has now been delivered from the trial sponsor to an independent statistical analysis company which is applying a statistical analysis plan devised by INmuneBio. We believe this will enrich the data presented by the Sponsor previously and we anticipate the data being available in Q4.

INKmune Platform:

● Following success in meeting the primary endpoint at completion of the phase I aspect of the CARE-PC trial we opened the phase II in Q1 this year and quickly enrolled the first three patients. Early analysis of blood samples for the biomarkers of interest demonstrated that both secondary endpoints of NK activation and NK cell proliferation in vivo had been met.

● Determined that patients with low NK cell function responded better to treatment, with substantial increases in NK cell potency. This allows us to screen patients in future trials to direct treatment only to those with the ability to respond, in the same way that patients have been screened for suitability for treatment with checkpoint inhibitor drugs.

● We await receipt of results of PSMA-PET scans for most of the trial subjects, although initial results from the phase I patients showed reduction or control of individual lesions in a background of worsening disease.

● Having reviewed the current data, we concluded that the CARE-PC trial has provided all the data needed to design a future randomized trial and we have closed the trial to further recruitment to ensure completion of follow-up by end of Q4 of 2025 as planned.

Corporate:

● Dr. RJ Tesi retires as CEO.

● David Moss appointed President & CEO and to the Board of Directors.

● Cory Ellspermann appointed as Interim CFO.

● Kelly Ganjei appointed as Chairman of the Board.

● Closed a $19 million registered direct offering.

Upcoming Events and Milestones:

● End of phase 2 meeting regarding the MINDFuL trial with the FDA expected to take place in the fourth quarter.

● The Company will file a publication on the MINDFuL trial results expected to be available this month.

● The Company remains on track to file a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in the UK and Biologic License Application (BLA) for CORDStrom in RDEB by mid-2026.

● We have ambitious plans to develop a pipeline of additional indications for CORDStrom which we will pursue with non-dilutive funding or partnerships.

● Additional data from Greater Orman Street Hospital on RDEB patients treated with CORDStrom expected in the fourth quarter.

● More patient data from the INKmune ongoing phase 2 trial in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer will be released as it becomes available.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2025:

● Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $24.5 million, compared to approximately $9.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

● Research and development expenses totaled approximately $5.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to approximately $7.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

● General and administrative expenses were approximately $2.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to approximately $2.8 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

● Impairment of acquired in-process research and development intangible assets was $16.5 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to none recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

● Other income, net was approximately $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to approximately $0.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

● As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $33.4 million.

● As of August 7, 2025, the Company had approximately 26.6 million common shares outstanding.

About XPro

XPro is a next-generation inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) that 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.

About CORDStrom

CORDStrom is a patent-pending cell medicine comprising aseptic, allogeneic, pooled human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hucMSCs) in suspension for injection or infusion. The CORDStrom platform leverages, among other things, proprietary screening, pooling and expansion techniques to create off-the-shelf, allogeneic, pooled hucMSCs as medicines to treat complex inflammatory diseases. CORDStrom products are designed to provide high-quality, off-the-shelf, batch-to-batch consistent, scalable, cGMP manufactured, potent cellular medicines that can be produced at low cost and with repeatable specification independent of donor characteristics. The CORDStrom product platform shares many similarities, including reagents, equipment, and procedures, with the Company’s INKmune oncology product, enabling the Company to leverage economies of scale, experienced staff, and other resources to strategically manufacture both products in a rotational campaign with resource and environmental efficiencies.

Initially developed at the INKmune manufacturing facilities utilizing UK academic grant funding, CORDStrom is an MSC product platform that shows promise as a first systemic therapy for potentially treating RDEB and many other debilitating conditions. While the first generation CORDStrom product is agnostic to disease indication, the platform enables creation of indication-specific products, which can be tuned for optimization of anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, wound healing, and other characteristics.

About INKmune

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 have persisted for more than 100 days. These cells function in the hypoxic TME because due to upregulated nutrient receptors and mitochondrial survival proteins.

On August 7, 2025 IN8bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: INAB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative gamma-delta T cell therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases, reported financial results and business highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 (Press release, In8bio, AUG 7, 2025, View Source [SID1234654982]).

Key Highlights:

Durable Four-Year PFS Milestone in Glioblastoma:

A patient in IN8bio’s INB-200 clinical trial has now surpassed four years without progression, a significant clinical milestone in front-line, grade IV glioblastoma (GBM), demonstrating the potential for extended overall survival and the durability of IN8bio’s therapy.
Positive Clinical Data Presented at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) 2025:

IN8bio presented positive new data showing that GBM patients receiving multiple doses of INB-200 achieved mPFS of 16.1 months as of May 31, 2025, more than double the 6.9 months typically observed with the standard-of-care Stupp protocol.
40% of patients receiving multiple doses remain progression-free for over 18 months with no significant toxicities observed as of May 31, 2025.
Award for Innovative Cell Therapy Manufacturing:

The Company was recognized with the Host Region USA East Abstract Award at the ISCT 2025 Annual Meeting for its DeltEx platform. IN8bio showcased its robust manufacturing processes and scalable technology platform, essential for advancing cell therapy treatments with consistency and operational efficiency.
New Preclinical Data in Autoimmune Diseases:

IN8bio presented exciting new preclinical results at ASGCT (Free ASGCT Whitepaper) 2025 for its innovative gamma-delta T cell engager (INB-619). INB-619 demonstrated complete, targeted depletion of harmful B cells in lupus samples without significant inflammatory cytokines, representing a potentially safer immunotherapy alternative with the ability to drive deeper B cell depletion.
William Ho, CEO and co-founder, IN8bio, commented, "We believe this quarter clearly demonstrates our ability to deliver transformative outcomes in cancer and autoimmune disease. We had an oral presentation at ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper), reached a remarkable four-year PFS milestone in a grade IV glioblastoma patient, demonstrated the potential of our T cell engager platform to treat autoimmune diseases, and highlighted our robust cell therapy manufacturing capabilities. We’re proud of these continued accomplishments, which demonstrate our ability to be a leader in gamma-delta T cell therapies and highlight our potential to help transform the treatment of cancer and autoimmune disease. We’ve also extended our runway into June 2026."

Upcoming Anticipated Pipeline Milestones and Events

Update on enrollment in INB-100 expansion cohort in leukemia patients
Glioblastoma clinical update from INB-200 and INB-400 clinical trials
Additional preclinical data from INB-619 T cell engager program for cancer and autoimmune diseases in 4Q25
Second Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Research and Development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses were $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $5.2 million in the prior year. These amounts include non-cash items such as stock-based compensation (SBC) and depreciation of $0.5 million. The change was primarily due to a strategic pause on clinical trial-related activities for the INB-400 program and reduced personnel-related costs, which followed the Company’s pipeline prioritization announcement in September 2024.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses were $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with $3.5 million for the comparable prior year period. These amounts include non-cash items such as SBC and depreciation of $0.7 million. The change was primarily due to cost savings related to personnel-related costs, director and officer insurance premiums and professional services.
Net loss: The company reported a net loss of $5.1 million, or $1.24 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared with a net loss of $8.6 million, or $5.51 per basic and diluted common share, for the comparable prior year period. This amount includes non-cash items such as SBC and depreciation of $1.2 million, along with one-time charges related to the Company’s pipeline prioritization announcement in September 2024.
Cash position: As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of $13.2 million, compared with $10.2 million for the comparable prior year.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights (including post-period)

KIMMTRAK
The Company’s lead product, KIMMTRAK (tebentafusp), is approved in 39 countries and has been launched in 28 countries globally to date for HLA-A*02:01 positive people with metastatic uveal melanoma (mUM). KIMMTRAK continues to be the standard of care in most markets where it is launched.

The Company sees three key growth areas as it plans to expand patient reach for KIMMTRAK, including continued global expansion in mUM, the potential expansion into 2L+ advanced cutaneous melanoma (CM), and the potential expansion into adjuvant uveal melanoma.

Metastatic uveal melanoma

KIMMTRAK net product sales were $98.0 million and $191.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, representing increases of 30% and 32% respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024.
15% year-over-year quarterly growth in the United States, with demand continuing to grow, duration of treatment extending, and the majority of patients treated in the community setting (70%).
71% year-over-year quarterly growth in Europe and in international regions combined, driven by increased demand, new country launches, and completion of price negotiations in France and Germany.
The Company signed a distribution and commercialization agreement with Er-Kim Pharmaceuticals for KIMMTRAK, for the treatment of HLA-A*02:01-positive adults with unresectable or metastatic uveal melanoma, in Turkey, the Middle East, North Africa, Caucasus and the Commonwealth of Independent States regions.
2L+ advanced cutaneous melanoma

The Company is currently enrolling patients in the TEBE-AM registrational Phase 3 trial and expects to complete enrollment in the first half of 2026.
The Phase 3 trial is enrolling three arms: tebentafusp monotherapy, tebentafusp in combination with pembrolizumab, and a control (investigator’s choice of therapy including options such as investigator’s choice of clinical trials, chemotherapy, or retreatment with anti-PD1 or BRAF therapy). The primary endpoint of the randomized Phase 3 trial is Overall Survival (OS).
There is great unmet need in second- and later-line cutaneous melanoma, with no therapy having shown an OS improvement post checkpoint inhibitors in a randomized clinical trial. The Company estimates that there is a potential to address up to 4,000 previously treated advanced CM patients.

Adjuvant uveal (or ocular) melanoma

The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) continues to expand the site footprint of the Phase 3 Adjuvant Trial in Ocular Melanoma (ATOM).
The Company estimates that the HLA-A*02:01 high-risk adjuvant uveal melanoma patient population could be up to 1,200 patients in the US and Europe.

PRAME portfolio
Brenetafusp is the Company’s lead PRAME-A02 ImmTAC bispecific candidate. Brenetafusp is being evaluated in combination with nivolumab in a Phase 3 registrational trial (PRISM-MEL-301) in patients with first-line, advanced cutaneous melanoma, and in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial as monotherapy and in combination across multiple tumor types, including ovarian cancer and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

PRISM-MEL-301 – First PRAME Phase 3 clinical trial with brenetafusp in first-line advanced cutaneous melanoma

The Company has now activated over 150 clinical trial sites around the world, enrolling patients in the registrational Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating brenetafusp + nivolumab versus a control arm of either nivolumab or nivolumab + relatlimab for HLA-A*02:01 positive patients with first-line, advanced or metastatic cutaneous melanoma.
The trial is currently randomizing to three arms: two brenetafusp dose regimens (40 mcg and 160 mcg) and a control arm.
In a pre-planned analysis, the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) reviewed the safety of the first 30 patients randomized and recommended to continue the study with no changes. The trial is on track for selection of the go-forward brenetafusp dose in the second half of 2025; this analysis will be conducted by an IDMC.
Despite approved therapies, there remains a need for improved progression-free survival and overall survival, and there is the potential to address an estimated 10,000 HLA-A*02:01 positive patients in the US and Europe.
Phase 1/2 clinical trial of brenetafusp in multiple solid tumors

The Company continues to evaluate brenetafusp in a Phase 1/2 trial in combination with non-platinum chemotherapies in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (PROC) and with bevacizumab or with platinum chemotherapy in earlier lines of platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer (PSOC). In the same trial, the Company continues signal detection in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cohorts, including brenetafusp in combination with docetaxel and with osimertinib in earlier-line NSCLC.
The Company estimates that, across all solid tumors, the annual number of eligible patients worldwide who test positive for HLA-A*02:01 is up to 150,000.
IMC-P115C (PRAME-A02 Half-Life Extended) & IMC-T119C (PRAME-A24)

The Company is enrolling patients in the Phase 1 dose escalation trial, in multiple solid tumors, with IMC-P115C.

IMC-R117C (PIWIL1) for colorectal and other gastrointestinal cancers

The Company is enrolling patients in the Phase 1/2 dose escalation trial evaluating IMC-R117C in HLA-A*02:01 positive patients with advanced solid tumors, including colorectal cancer, as a single agent and in combination with standards of care.

ImmTAV candidates for a functional cure in infectious diseases
The Company’s bispecific TCR technology platform has the potential to offer a new approach for the treatment of certain chronic infections and aims to eliminate evidence of remaining virus in circulation after the patient stops taking medication – known as a ‘functional cure’. Two investigational candidates are in Phase 1 or Phase 1/2 trials for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and people with chronic hepatitis B infection (HBV).

Phase 1/2 trial of IMC-M113V (Gag-A02) for people living with HIV

Patient enrollment continues at higher doses in the multiple ascending dose part of the Phase 1/2 clinical trial to identify a safe and tolerable dose.

Phase 1 trial of IMC-I109V (Envelope-A02) for people living with HBV or HBV-positive hepatocellular carcinoma

The Company will report data from the single ascending dose portion of the trial at the 2025 American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases’ Meeting in November 2025.

Tissue-specific down modulation of the immune system for autoimmune diseases
The key differentiator of the ImmTAAI platform is tissue-specific, down modulation of the immune system, as the candidates suppress pathogenic T cells via PD1 receptor agonism only when tethered to the target tissue.

IMC-S118AI (PPI-A02) for type 1 diabetes

The Company is on track to file a clinical trial application (CTA) or investigational new drug application (IND) for IMC-S118AI (PPI x PD1) in the second half of 2025.

IMC-U120AI (CD1a) for atopic dermatitis as the initial indication – first universal program

The Company plans to file a CTA/IND for IMC-U120AI (CD1a x PD1) in 2026.

Corporate update
On August 5, 2025, Rob Perez resigned as director of the Company, effective September 16, 2025. The Company expresses its appreciation to Mr. Perez for his dedication and service to Immunocore for the last 6 years.

Financial Results
For the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, the Company generated net product sales of $98.0 million compared to $75.3 million for the same period in 2024. Sales of KIMMTRAK were $64.1 million in the United States, $33.0 million in Europe, and $0.8 million in the international regions. The increase in net product sales was due to increased volumes in the United States and Europe as well as global country expansion.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, research and development (R&D) expenses were $69.0 million compared to $51.1 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was due to preclinical expenses related to the advancement of the Company’s autoimmune programs, including clinical material manufacturing for anticipated Phase 1 initiations, and clinical expenses related to the progression of the Company’s Phase 3 trials, primarily TEBE-AM and PRISM-MEL-301.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2025, SG&A expenses were $42.8 million compared to $38.6 million for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily due to costs related to business support functions to support the Company’s growing pipeline and global commercial expansion.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, was $10.3 million, as compared to a net loss of $11.6 million for the same period in 2024. Basic and diluted loss per share was $0.20 for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, as compared to a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.23 for the same period in 2024.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $882.8 million as of June 30, 2025, as compared to $820.4 million as of December 31, 2024. The Company expects to pay, in the second half of 2025, approximately $65 million in sales-related rebate accruals.
