Immunicum: Quarterly Report January-March 2017Immunicum AB (publ; First North Premier: IMMU.ST), a biopharmaceutical company advancing a novel immuno-oncology treatment against a range of solid tumors, today announced its financial results and a corporate update for the first quarter 2017.
First quarter in briefThe first quarter of 2017 was an intense period of activity for Immunicum and the Company's management team has achieved key steps on the path toward reaching our overall goals. Our primary focus is on the continued development of our cell-based therapy for the treatment of solid tumors, INTUVAX®, for which we completed important manufacturing advances among other regulatory milestones; we have expanded our leadership team to build a solid foundation to achieve success and we have been active in positioning Immunicum to compete on a global basis in our industry.
Most important has been our progress in the clinical trials with INTUVAX, Immunicum's unique cancer immune primer for the treatment of kidney and liver cancer as well as GastroIntestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST).
Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) - As of today, the enrollment process for the ongoing MERECA phase II study, where patients with newly diagnosed metastatic renal cell carcinoma are treated with INTUVAX in combination with sunitinib, is that we have a total of 58 patients enrolled at 26 centers in eight European countries. We are excited to include in this total the treatment of the first patient in France, resulting from the approval by the French regulatory authorities for the trial, as we announced in the first quarter. It is important to emphasize the achievement this regulatory approval represents: France is a large market and one that is highly regulated in particular for cell-based therapies. Gaining access to the clinics and patients in France supports further patient enrollment. It also provides further recognition of our approach and its potential for treating cancer.
Along the lines of providing detail on the additional steps required for the clinical development of a cell-based therapy like INTUVAX, I am pleased to give an update on the extension of the MERECA trial in the United States. As announced in December 2016, Immunicum received clearance on its Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with INTUVAX. Since that time, we have focused our efforts on achieving all the steps needed to enable the recruitment of patients in the clinical centers in the US. With the FDA clearance as the necessary start of the process, Immunicum has since obtained authorization for the German INTUVAX manufacturing facility to produce the product as defined by the FDA, which required additional approvals in Germany for the production of the INTUVAX cells. Only after the successful production and shipping of INTUVAX to the centers in the US could the clinicians at those centers start the pre-screening of patients for the trial. At this stage, the pre-screening process has been underway since mid-April, and we anticipate the first patients to be ready for treatment during the second quarter of 2017.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) - As previously reported, we have now enrolled the last of the six additional liver cancer patients that receive INTUVAX concomitantly with first line standard of care medication in the extension of the study. Top line results from this trial are expected in the third quarter of 2017.
GastroIntestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) -Following the protocol amendment, our collaborators at the Karolinska UniversitetsSjukhuset have now enrolled 3 patients in our clinical phase I/II study with INTUVAX in patients with GIST.
Operations - Over the course of the first quarter we invested time and effort in meeting all the requirements for the Nasdaq Stockholm uplisting process, which the committee acknowledged we had achieved in their review of our application. As we announced earlier this quarter, the committee delayed their approval based on the desire to see that we can maintain all corporate governance and communications standards in an ongoing manner and establish a longer track record. We are committed to meeting these requirements to achieve our listing on the Nasdaq Stockholm.
As another focus for the long-term achievement of our corporate goals, we remain active in raising the awareness of the Company and our products in development. In addition to adding a key member to the team to support overall business development, during the first quarter, I have been active at several events and conferences in the US and Europe. The goal is to introduce the Company to key audiences in the international biotechnology industry, including other biotech and pharmaceutical companies, international investors and industry thought-leaders.
We as a leadership team, together with the Board of Directors, are focused on building value for our shareholders through the rigorous development of our clinical programs and the vision to increase the opportunities for success. We are grateful for your continued support and confidence.
