As previously disclosed and in alignment with its current strategic priorities, Sanofi will opt to pursue the development of SAR’514/IPH6401 (BCMA ANKET) in autoimmune indications under the terms of the 2016 License Agreement;
In alignment with both company’s current strategic priorities, Sanofi and Innate agreed to terminate the 2016 Agreement as it relates to SAR’579/IPH6101 (CD123 ANKET); Innate will regain its rights on SAR’579/IPH6101 (CD123 ANKET).
As part of these discussions, Sanofi and Innate have agreed to a potential investment by Sanofi of up to €15M in new shares of Innate. The size and price of this equity investment will be determined on the basis of the ongoing market conditions, if they are satisfactory.

The 2022 research collaboration and license agreement remain unchanged.

"We are very pleased that Sanofi has chosen to further strengthen our relationship through a potential strategic equity investment in the company. This would further validate the innovation and scientific progress at Innate Pharma delivered by our research and development. We acknowledge Sanofi’s portfolio prioritization, and we are encouraged to see our ANKET platform being pursued in autoimmune indications. We will continue to evaluate, plan and execute next steps for our proprietary ANKET programs in oncology and beyond," said Jonathan Dickinson, Chief Executive Officer of Innate Pharma.

SAR’579 (NCT05086315)/IPH6101

The originally Sanofi-led Phase 1/2 study with SAR’579 / IPH6101 (clinical study identifier: NCT05086315) is ongoing. Efficacy and safety results from the dose-escalation part, were shared in an oral presentation at the EHA (Free EHA Whitepaper) 2024 Congress. The data demonstrated that SAR’579 had clinical benefit and durable responses along with a favorable safety profile in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML), with 5 complete responses (4 CR / 1 CRi) achieved at 1 mg/kg, with durable CR (>10 months) observed in 3 patients.
In April 2024, Sanofi advanced SAR’579 / IPH6101 to the Phase 2 preliminary dose expansion of the trial.
The Parties will discuss a transition plan with regard to ongoing studies.
SAR’514/IPH6401:

The continued Sanofi-led Phase 1/2 study (clinical study identifier: NCT05839626) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma will be terminated early and SAR’514/IPH6401 will now be refocused to pursue development in autoimmune indications.
IPH62 and one additional target

IPH62 is a NK-cell engager program targeting B7-H3 under development from Innate’s ANKET platform. Following a research collaboration period and upon candidate selection, Sanofi will be responsible for all development, manufacturing and commercialization.
Sanofi still retains the option of one additional ANKET target under the terms of the 2022 research collaboration and license agreement.

About Tumor Treating Fields

Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are electric fields that exert physical forces to kill cancer cells via a variety of mechanisms. TTFields do not significantly affect healthy cells because they have different properties (including division rate, morphology, and electrical properties) than cancer cells. These multiple, distinct mechanisms work together to target and kill cancer cells. Due to these multimechanistic actions, TTFields therapy can be added to cancer treatment modalities in approved indications and demonstrates enhanced effects across solid tumor types when used with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibition, or targeted therapies in preclinical models. TTFields therapy provides clinical versatility that has the potential to help address treatment challenges across a range of solid tumors.
