Immutep Limited (IMMP) Receives Positive FDA Feedback on Future Clinical Development of Eftilagimod Alfa

Immutep Limited (NASDAQ:IMMP) is among the 12 Best Australian Stocks to Buy Right Now. On August 5, the company shared that it had received positive feedback from the U.S. FDA on the future clinical development of eftilagimod alfa (efti) for first-line treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients with CPS <1. A line of biopharmaceutical products on a laboratory shelf waiting to be tested. The feedback stems from encouraging data from the TACTI-003 Phase 2b trial evaluating efti with MSD's anti-PD-1 KEYTRUDA (pembrolizumab). Immutep Limited (NASDAQ:IMMP) said that the FDA acknowledged the potential of the combination to address the high unmet need in patients with CPS <1 and supports its further development. Marc Voigt, CEO of Immutep Limited (NASDAQ:IMMP), shared the following remarks on the development: 'We are pleased with the FDA's feedback and guidance that underscores the high unmet need of head and neck cancer patients whose PD-L1 expression level is below one. The FDA feedback positions Immutep to evaluate options for future collaborative clinical development paths to bring a new, effective and safe treatment option to this underserved patient population.' Looking ahead, Immutep Limited (NASDAQ:IMMP) also outlined paths for future clinical development. This would include a randomised registrational trial evaluating the combination against standard-of-care therapy, or lead a smaller single-arm study on about 70-90 patients, followed by a confirmatory randomised study building on the existing findings. While we acknowledge the potential of IMMP as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Immutep's Efti with Radiotherapy & KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) Meets Primary Endpoint in Phase II for Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Novel combination with efti has met the trial's primary endpoint of tumour hyalinization/fibrosis in the neoadjuvant setting for patients with resectable soft tissue sarcoma Detailed results are planned for presentation at a future medical meeting SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immutep Limited (ASX: IMM; NASDAQ: IMMP) ('Immutep' or 'the Company'), a late-stage immunotherapy company targeting cancer and autoimmune diseases, today announces the investigator-initiated EFTISARC-NEO Phase II trial evaluating eftilagimod alfa (efti) with radiotherapy plus KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in the neoadjuvant setting for resectable soft tissue sarcoma (STS) has met its primary endpoint. The novel combination significantly exceeded the study's prespecified median of 35% tumour hyalinization/fibrosis versus 15% for historical data from radiotherapy alone in patients with resectable soft tissue sarcoma (STS). Tumour hyalinization/fibrosis is an early surrogate endpoint at the time of surgical resection that has been associated with improved overall survival and recurrence-free survival for STS patients.1,2 The trial's investigators at the Maria Skłodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology (MSCNRIO) in Warsaw, the national reference centre for STS in Poland, plan to present detailed results from the study at a future medical meeting. Katarzyna Kozak, M.D., Ph.D., and Paweł Sobczuk, M.D., Ph.D., medical oncologists at the Department of Soft Tissue/Bone Sarcoma and Melanoma at MSCNRIO and the trial's principal investigators, said: 'It is very encouraging to see the chemotherapy-free combination with efti far exceed the ambitious target we initially set for the trial's primary endpoint in resectable soft tissue sarcoma. These results support our belief that efti's activation of antigen-presenting cells, and in turn a broad adaptive and innate immune response, helps transform the immunosuppressed tumour microenvironment of soft tissue sarcomas leading to strong anti-cancer efficacy. There remains a very high unmet need in this aggressive orphan cancer indication and we look forward to presenting detailed results at a medical meeting later this year.' As previously announced at the Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) Annual Meeting in November 2024, the combination therapy demonstrated significant efficacy with a median of 50% tumour hyalinization/fibrosis in a preliminary analysis of 21 patients with resectable STS available for primary endpoint assessment. The EFTISARC-NEO study, which is primarily funded with a grant from the Polish government awarded by the Polish Medical Research Agency program, subsequently completed enrolment of 40 patients in January 2025. STS is an orphan disease with high unmet medical need and a poor prognosis for patients. The incidence of STS varies in different regions globally. In the United States, the number of new STS cases in 2025 is estimated to be ~13,520 with ~5,420 deaths, according to the American Cancer Society.3 For more information on EFTISARC-NEO, visit (NCT06128863).

Immutep Quarterly Activities Report Q3 FY25

Media Release First patient safely dosed in TACTI-004 Phase III lung cancer trial, marking a significant milestone Pivotal TACTI-004 trial design presented at the European Lung Cancer Congress (ELCC) 2025 Patient enrolment completed for the EFTISARC-NEO Phase II trial evaluating efti with radiotherapy and KEYTRUDA® in resectable soft tissue sarcoma Patient enrolment completed for the INSIGHT-003 Phase I trial evaluating efti with KEYTRUDA® and chemotherapy as first-line treatment of advanced or metastatic 1L NSCLC Strong cash position of A$146.25 million, providing an expected cash reach to the end of CY2026 SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, April 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immutep Limited (ASX: IMM; NASDAQ: IMMP) ("Immutep' or 'the Company'), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel LAG-3 immunotherapies for cancer and autoimmune disease, provides an update on its activities for the quarter ended 31 March 2025 (Q3 FY25). EFTI DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR CANCER TACTI-004 – First Patient Successfully Dosed in Pivotal Phase III Trial in 1L NSCLCIn March 2025, Immutep announced the first patient in the Company's pivotal TACTI-004 Phase III trial was successfully dosed at Calvary Mater Newcastle Hospital in Australia. TACTI-004 evaluates eftilagimod alfa (efti), a first-in-class MHC Class II agonist, in combination with MSD's (Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA) anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) and chemotherapy as first line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (1L NSCLC). The global Phase III trial with efti will randomize approximately 756 patients at more than 150 clinical sites and trial results will inform a potential marketing approval application in non-small cell lung cancer, one of the largest indications in oncology. Immutep also presented the pivotal TACTI-004 Phase III trial as a Trial-in-Progress poster at the European Lung Cancer Congress (ELCC) 2025, in Paris, France, in late March. The poster included an overview and study design of the TACTI-004 Phase III trial. Informed by the Company's AIPAC-003 study, Immutep has determined to move forward with 30 mg efti dosing as the optimal biological dose. We have observed encouraging support from the investigators participating in the study in our meetings to date including those held at ELCC 2025 and after quarter end at the investigator meeting in Budapest, Hungary. Consistent feedback has been that the efficacy and safety data collected thus far from the TACTI-002 and INSIGHT-003 trials are impressive and address the unmet medical needs seen by many key opinion leaders. Recruitment in TACTI-004 is underway at a growing number of activated clinical sites and countries with approvals from regulatory authorities expanded to now 19 countries including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. TACTI-003 (KEYNOTE-C34) – Phase IIb Trial in 1L HNSCCImmutep continued to follow patients in the TACTI-003 (KEYNOTE-C34) Phase IIb trial, which is evaluating efti in combination with MSD's anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) as first-line treatment of recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (1L HNSCC), during Q3 FY25. Immutep most recently reported positive results from Cohort B of the trial in 1L HNSCC patients with PD-L1 negative tumours (CPS <1) who typically do not respond well to anti-PD-1 therapy alone, at the ESMO Immuno-Oncology Annual Congress in December 2024. Immutep will continue to follow the maturing data from TACTI-003 and plans to engage with regulatory authorities regarding potential paths forward by mid of this year. AIPAC-003 – Phase II/III Trial in Metastatic Breast CancerImmutep continues to execute the AIPAC-003 trial, which enrolled 71 metastatic hormone receptor positive (HR+), HER2-negative/low or triple-negative breast cancer patients who exhausted endocrine therapy including cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 (CDK4/6) inhibitors. Immutep completed patient enrolment in the randomised Phase II portion of the AIPAC-003 trial in late 2024. Patients across 22 clinical sites in Europe and the United States have been randomised 1:1 to receive either 30mg or 90mg dosing of efti in combination with paclitaxel to determine the optimal biological dose consistent with the FDA's Project Optimus initiative and prior regulatory interaction with FDA. Patient follow up, data cleaning and analysis is ongoing and an update is anticipated in CY2025. INSIGHT-003 – Phase I Trial in Non-Squamous 1L NSCLCIn January 2025, Immutep announced that patient enrolment has been completed for the ongoing investigator-initiated INSIGHT-003 trial. INSIGHT-003 is evaluating efti in combination with the anti-PD-1 therapy, KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) and doublet chemotherapy as first line treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (1L NSCLC). The Phase I trial has reached its enrolment target of approximately 50 evaluable patients across multiple clinical sites in Germany led by the Frankfurt Institute of Clinical Cancer Research IKF. Positive first Overall Survival results and other data points from INSIGHT-003 were reported in late 2024. Data updates from INSIGHT-003 are expected in CY2025. EFTISARC-NEO – Phase II Trial in Soft Tissue SarcomaIn January 2025, Immutep announced that patient enrolment has been completed in the ongoing investigator-initiated EFTISARC-NEO trial. EFTISARC-NEO is evaluating efti in combination with radiotherapy plus KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in the neoadjuvant setting for patients with resectable soft tissue sarcoma (STS). The Phase II trial being conducted by the Maria Skłodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology (MSCNRIO) in Warsaw, the national reference centre for STS in Poland, reached its enrolment target of 40 patients. Encouraging data from EFTISARC-NEO was presented at the Connective Tissue Oncology Society (CTOS) Annual Meeting in November 2024. Data updates from EFTISARC-NEO are expected in CY2025. IMP761 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM FOR AUTOIMMUNE DISEASEImmutep is progressing with the ongoing Phase I trial of its autoimmune candidate IMP761. IMP761 is a first-in-class agonist LAG-3 antibody designed to restore balance to the immune system by enhancing the 'brake' function of LAG-3 to silence dysregulated self-antigen-specific memory T cells that cause many autoimmune diseases. Following previously reported favourable initial safety data in December 2024, additional safety data and assessment of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) relationships are expected to be reported in CY2025. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY During the quarter, Immutep was granted two new patents for LAG525 in in the Philippines and the United States. Immutep was also granted a Russian patent directed to an assay for use in measuring the potency of IMP761, for example, as part of a quality control step in production of the agonist LAG-3 antibody. CASH FLOW SUMMARYDuring the quarter, Immutep continued to advance its clinical trial programs for efti and for IMP761 with prudent cash management. The Company is well funded with a strong cash and cash equivalent, and term deposit balance as at 31 March 2025 of approximately A$146.25 million, which is greater than budgeted as at the beginning of the current financial year, whilst delivering on our announced goals. The total balance consists of: 1) a cash and cash equivalent balance of A$92.45 million and 2) bank term deposits totaling A$53.80 million, which have been recognised as short-term investments due to having maturities of more than 3 months and less than 12 months. In Q3 FY25, cash receipts from customers were A$12k. The net cash used in G&A activities in the quarter was A$704k, compared to A$566k in Q2 FY25. Payments to Related Parties comprises Non-Executive Directors' fees and Executive Directors' remuneration of A$363k. The net cash used in R&D activities during the quarter was A$13.6 million, compared to A$16.2 million in Q2 FY25. The decrease is mainly due to: the prepayment of TACTI-004 clinical trial related 'kick-off costs' to initiate the trial in the previous quarter; and the completion of enrolment in the Phase II portion of the AIPAC-003 trial and the cost-efficient investigator initiated EFTISARC-NEO and INSIGHT-003 trials, which like TACTI-003 are all now focused on patient follow up. As such the Company is incurring significantly lower burn rates from those trials. Payment for staff costs was A$2.5 million in the quarter, which was the same as for Q2 FY25. Total net cash outflows used in operating activities in the quarter were A$16.26 million compared to A$19.0 million in Q2 FY25. Total cash inflow from investing activities for the quarter was A$32.34 million, mainly due to the maturity of short-term investments. The short-term investments are comprised of term deposits with maturities of greater than 3 months and less than 12 months. During the quarter, the company transferred back A$32.34 million from short-term investments that had matured to cash at bank, resulting in a positive cashflow in investing activities.
