In a separate press release issued today, Deciphera announced positive top-line results from its INVICTUS pivotal Phase 3 clinical study supporting a potential new drug application (NDA) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for ripretinib for the treatment of patients with advanced GIST who have received prior treatment with imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib. In addition to the INVICTUS data, Deciphera will also be submitting in its NDA supportive data from the ongoing Phase 1 clinical study, which will include the updated data from GIST patients at doses of >100mg of ripretinib. Additional results from the Phase 1 clinical study in these patients are expected to be presented at an upcoming medical meeting.

"We believe the updated data from our ongoing Phase 1 clinical study, with the additional six months of maturity from our last Phase 1 data cut-off, continue to support ripretinib’s potential across the broad range of KIT and PDGFRα mutations known to occur in patients with GIST following therapy with imatinib," said Steve Hoerter, President and Chief Executive Officer of Deciphera. "In the updated data from the second-line cohort, we believe ripretinib has demonstrated encouraging clinical benefit based on the objective response rate, disease control rate and median progression free survival rates observed. These results strengthen our confidence in the INTRIGUE pivotal Phase 3 clinical study comparing ripretinib to sunitinib, the standard of care for patients receiving second-line treatment for GIST."

Updated Phase 1 Data

Updated data from 178 GIST patients receiving ripretinib at doses of >100mg daily are noted in the table below as of March 1, 2019. The table includes investigator-assessed objective response rate (ORR) by best response, disease control rate (DCR) and median progression free survival (mPFS), all of which were determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.

About GIST

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a cancer affecting the digestive tract or nearby structures within the abdomen, most often presenting in the stomach or small intestine. GIST is the most common sarcoma of the gastrointestinal tract, with approximately 4,000 to 6,000 new GIST cases each year in the United States and a similar incidence rate in European and other countries. Most cases of GIST are driven by a spectrum of mutations. The most common primary mutations are in KIT kinase, representing approximately 75% to 80% of cases, or in PDGFRα kinase, representing approximately 5% to 10% of cases. Current therapies are unable to inhibit the full spectrum of primary and secondary mutations, which drives resistance and disease progression. Estimates for 5-year survival range from 48% to 90%, depending on the stage of the disease at diagnosis.

About Ripretinib

Ripretinib is an investigational KIT and PDGFRα kinase switch control inhibitor in clinical development for the treatment of KIT and/or PDGFRα-driven cancers, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors, or GIST, systemic mastocytosis, or SM, and other cancers. Ripretinib was specifically designed to improve the treatment of patients with GIST by inhibiting a broad spectrum of mutations in KIT and PDGFRα. Ripretinib is a KIT and PDGFRα inhibitor that inhibits initiating and secondary KIT mutations in exons 9, 11, 13, 14, 17, and 18, involved in GIST, as well as the primary D816V exon 17 mutation involved in SM. Ripretinib also inhibits primary PDGFRα mutations in exons 12, 14 and 18, including the exon 18 D842V mutation, involved in a subset of GIST. In June 2019, the U.S. FDA granted Fast Track Designation to ripretinib for the treatment of patients with advanced GIST who have received prior treatment with imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib.

Deciphera Pharmaceuticals has an exclusive license agreement with Zai Lab (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. for the development and commercialization of ripretinib in Greater China (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan). Deciphera Pharmaceuticals retains development and commercial rights for ripretinib in the rest of the world.

About the INTRIGUE Phase 3 Study

The INTRIGUE Phase 3 clinical study is an interventional, randomized, global, multicenter, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ripretinib compared to sunitinib in patients with GIST previously treated with imatinib. This study was designed to provide evidence of clinical benefit to support regulatory approvals in second-line GIST patients in the United States, Europe and other major markets. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to either 150 mg of ripretinib once daily or 50 mg of sunitinib once daily for four weeks followed by two weeks without sunitinib. The primary efficacy endpoint is median progression-free survival (mPFS) as determined by independent radiologic review using modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Secondary endpoints as determined by independent radiologic review using modified RECIST include Objective Response Rate (ORR) and Overall Survival (OS). See www.clinicaltrials.gov for further information (NCT03673501).

"Fiscal year 2019 revenue increased 14 percent with earnings up 18 percent. Unfortunately, revenue in the fourth quarter was two percent below expectations largely due to lower reimbursement for our expanded carrier screening test," said Mark C. Capone, president and CEO, Myriad Genetics. "Looking ahead to fiscal year 2020, with stabilized pricing, growing new product volumes and recent reimbursement advances with GeneSight, we are highly optimistic about our ability to deliver an inflection in revenue and earnings as we transition through the fiscal year."

Recent Business Highlights

Hereditary Cancer

Hereditary cancer revenue returned to year-over-year growth in fiscal year 2019 representing the first time hereditary cancer revenue has grown in the last five fiscal years.

Presented data at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) (Free ASCO Whitepaper) annual meeting from the Women’s Health Initiative study that evaluated mutation rates in 2,195 post-menopausal women with breast cancer. The study found that women with post-menopausal breast cancer had a high rate of inherited mutations in a range of cancer causing genes and this mutation rate did not diminish with age. This along with other studies have shown that

current hereditary breast cancer testing guidelines miss approximately 50 percent of mutation carriers.

GeneSight

Announced coverage decision from UnitedHealth, the largest commercial payer in the United States, covering GeneSight for patients that have a diagnosis of major depressive disorder or anxiety and have failed at least one prior medication.

Announced coverage decision for GeneSight by Kroger Prescription Plans. As part of the agreement, Kroger initiated an early access program at 500 Kroger pharmacies where GeneSight testing will be facilitated by the Kroger Health pharmacist.

Presented data at the Clinical Pharmacogenomics Implementation Consortium annual meeting showing GeneSight had more than double the predictive power for drug blood levels compared to single gene pharmacogenomics tests.

Completed a Medicare Coverage Advisory Committee meeting reviewing potential expansion of the GeneSight LCD to primary care physicians. During the meeting, Medicare’s selected subject matter experts unanimously agreed that pharmacogenomics testing should be available to primary care physicians.

Prolaris

Published data from a large study of 1,062 men with newly diagnosed localized prostate cancer to evaluate the ability of the Prolaris test to predict risk of metastases. The study found that Prolaris was the strongest independent predictor of progression to metastatic disease, and men were approximately three times more likely to develop metastatic disease with each unit increase in the Prolaris test score (HR: 2.93; p=1.8×10-11).

EndoPredict

Published data in the journal Clinical Cancer Research demonstrating that the EndoPredict test identifies women with early-stage breast cancer who can safely forgo extended endocrine therapy five years after diagnosis.

Published the results of the first comprehensive cost-effectiveness analysis of the EndoPredict test compared to other breast cancer assays. The study found that the EndoPredict test was more than twice as cost effective as Oncotype DX.

Companion Diagnostics

Announced that the BRACAnalysis CDx companion diagnostic test effectively identified patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer who benefitted from treatment with Lynparza

(olaparib) in the Phase III POLO study. Patients in the study with a germline mutation had a clinically-meaningful and statistically-significant improvement in progression-free survival (PFS) of 7.4 months when treated with Lynparza compared to 3.8 months for placebo (HR 0.53; p=0.004).

Received approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare for Myriad’s BRACAnalysis Diagnostic System as a companion for Lynparza in women with ovarian cancer.

Announced that BRACAnalysis CDx effectively identified patients with castrate resistant, metastatic prostate cancer who benefitted from treatment with Lynparza in the PROfound study. Results from the study showed a statistically-significant and clinically-meaningful improvement in radiographic progression-free survival in patients who received Lynparza vs. enzalutamide or abiraterone and had deleterious mutations in the BRCA1/2 genes.

myPath Melanoma

Received a positive final local coverage decision from Noridian Healthcare Solutions for myPath Melanoma.

German Clinic Sale

Announced planned sale of the Privatklinik Dr. Robert Schindlbeck GmbH & Co. KG (the "Clinic"), which is expected to occur around the middle of fiscal year 2020.

"The data supporting both the CLL and WM approvals show significant improvements in progression free survival with the use of ibrutinib-based therapy versus the standard of care study comparators respectively," said Dr Alessandra Tedeschi, Medical Director, Department of Hematology, Niguarda Hospital, Milan, Italy, and investigator in both the iNNOVATE and iLLUMINATE studies. "These approvals therefore provide healthcare professionals with new chemotherapy-free options for patients with these complex blood cancers."

The approval in CLL was based on results from the Phase 3 iLLUMINATE (PCYC-1130) study, published in The Lancet Oncology, which investigated ibrutinib in combination with obinutuzumab versus chlorambucil plus obinutuzumab in patients with previously untreated CLL.1

In WM, the decision was based on data from the Phase 3 iNNOVATE (PCYC-1127) study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine.2 The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib in combination with rituximab, versus rituximab with placebo, in patients with previously untreated and relapsed/refractory WM.3

Additional information about both studies can be found at www.ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02264574 and NCT02165397).4,5

"With five European Commission approvals in five years, this latest EC decision further extends the potential reach and impact ibrutinib can have for patients," said Craig Tendler, M.D., Vice President, Clinical Development and Global Medical Affairs, Oncology, Janssen Research & Development, LLC. "We remain committed to a comprehensive clinical development programme for ibrutinib, including exploring its use in other combinations, to address the needs of more and more patients with B-cell malignancies."

Ibrutinib, a first-in-class Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, is jointly developed and commercialised by Janssen Biotech, Inc., and Pharmacyclics LLC, an AbbVie company.

Dr Alessandra Tedeschi is co-investigator in both the iNNOVATE and iLLUMINATE studies. She was not compensated for any media work.

About ibrutinib
Ibrutinib is a first-in-class Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, which works by forming a strong covalent bond with BTK to block the transmission of cell survival signals within the malignant B-cells.6 By blocking this BTK protein, ibrutinib decreases survival and migration of B lymphocytes, thereby delaying progression of the cancer.7

Ibrutinib is currently approved in Europe for:8

Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL): As a single agent or in combination with obinutuzumab for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated CLL, and as a single agent or in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (BR) for the treatment of adult patients with CLL who have received at least one prior therapy
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL): As a single agent for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory MCL
Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM): As a single agent for the treatment of adult patients who have received at least one prior therapy or in first-line treatment for patients unsuitable for chemo-immunotherapy, and in combination with rituximab for the treatment of adult patients
Ibrutinib is approved in more than 95 countries, and, to date, has been used to treat more than 158,000 patients worldwide across its approved indications.

The most common adverse reactions seen with ibrutinib include diarrhoea, neutropenia, haemorrhage (e.g., bruising), musculoskeletal pain, nausea, rash, and pyrexia.8

For a full list of side effects and information on dosage and administration, contraindications and other precautions when using ibrutinib please refer to the Summary of Product Characteristics for further information.

About chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is typically a slow-growing blood cancer of the white blood cells.9 The overall incidence of CLL in Europe is approximately 4.92 cases per 100,000 persons per year and is about 1.5 times more common in men than in women.10 CLL is predominantly a disease of the elderly, with a median age of 72 years at diagnosis.11

The disease eventually progresses in the majority of patients, and they are faced with fewer treatment options with each relapse. Patients are often prescribed multiple lines of therapy as they relapse or become resistant to treatments.

About Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia
Waldenström’s macroglobulinemia (WM) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL).12 It causes overproduction of a protein called monoclonal immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody, which causes a thickening of the blood.13 Incidence rates among men and women in Europe are approximately 7.3 and 4.2 per million persons, respectively.14 The causes of WM are unknown, with it typically affecting older adults and being slightly more common in men than women.12,14

2019 Year-to-Date Corporate Highlights:

·INmune Bio’s management team rang the NASDAQ closing bell on Tuesday, April 9, 2019, to celebrate the Company’s successful initial public offering ("IPO") in February 2019.
·In May, the Company closed a private placement of approximately $4.7M of Common Stock priced led by Insiders and existing shareholders.
·The Company published data on INmune Bio’s INB16 (INKmune) cell line in peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE.
·Reported positive preliminary data from INB03 Phase I clinical trial in cancer followed by a final report later this year as the Company advances the program into a Phase II study.
·Edguardo (Ed) Baracchini a biotech business development veteran joined the board of directors.

"This year we remained focused on advancing our pipeline," stated RJ Tesi, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of INmune Bio. "More recently we announced we have begun planning a Phase II trial for INB03 after receiving positive preliminary data from its clinical Phase I study. This preliminary data has allowed us to move forward with the development of INB03 as a combination immunotherapy for patients with cancer. We anticipate our full data set to be reported later this year followed by a Phase II study."

Our clinical programs continue to advance:

·Received preliminary positive data on INB03’s Phase I study in patients with advanced solid tumors. The trial was successful in determining, in order of priority, the safety of INB03 in cancer patients, the adequate dosage of INB03, and evidence of a biologic effect, as the Company begins planning a Phase II trial in cancer patients using INB03 as part of their combination immunotherapy. The target INB03 trough level was reached in three of three patients in the 1.0 mg/kg group. The inflammatory cytokine IL6, a biomarker of soluble TNF function, decreased by more than 50% in half of the patients, suggesting a pharmacodynamic effect of INB03.

·INmune anticipates it will start patient enrollment in the Phase I study of XPro1595 for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and INKmune, INmune Bio’s NK cell therapy focused on eliminating residual disease after cancer therapy, in the second half of 2019.

Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2019:

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019 was $0.4 million, compared to $6.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Net loss incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 included a noncash waiver of common stock issuable of $1.5 million partially offset by noncash stock-based compensation expense of $1.0 million.

Research and development expense totaled approximately $0.3 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared with approximately $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, research and development expense included $0.6 million of research and development expense related to clinical trials, partially offset by $0.3 million of grants from the Alzheimer’s Association which the Company recognized as contra research and development expense.

General and administrative expense was approximately $1.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to approximately $5.9 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The $4.2 million decline in general and administrative expense is due to lower noncash stock-based compensation ($1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $5.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2018), partially offset by higher general and administrative expenses including investor relations and payroll expense.

At June 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $9.4 million with no debt. In May, the Company closed a private placement of approximately $4.7 million of Common Stock led by insiders and existing shareholders.
