KIR3DL2

MARSEILLE, France I April 29, 2025 I Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH; Nasdaq: IPHA) (“ Innate ” or the “ Company ”) today shared new preclinical data for IPH4502, its novel and differentiated topoisomerase I inhibitor Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) targeting Nectin-4. The data were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025. Nectin-4 targeting is validated by enfortumab vedotin (EV), an ADC with a monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) payload, approved for urothelial carcinoma (UC), an indication with high Nectin-4 expression. However, EV discontinuation due to toxicity, disease relapse, or treatment ineligibility, along with its limited efficacy in tumors with lower Nectin-4 expression, underscores the need for a differentiated Nectin-4 ADC with improved therapeutic window and improved mechanisms of action. IPH4502 demonstrated anti-tumor activity in EV-resistant patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model with upregulation of multi-drug resistance protein 1 (MDR1), supporting its potential to overcome resistance mechanisms in EV-refractory disease. Beyond UC, IPH4502 also exhibited anti-tumor activity in preclinical models of triple-negative breast cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and esophageal cancer, suggesting broader potential clinical applicability. In addition, in preclinical tumor models with low Nectin-4 expression, IPH4502 showed superior anti-tumor activity compared to a clinical-stage Nectin-4-exatecan ADC supported by higher internalization, cytotoxicity, and bystander killing effect. “ We are highly encouraged by these preclinical data, which suggest that IPH4502 has the potential to translate into improved clinical benefit in indications with unmet medical need. These findings also reinforce the rationale for our ongoing Phase 1 trial. We look forward to sharing initial clinical data in 2026 as the program advances, ” said Sonia Quaratino, Chief Medical Officer of Innate Pharma . IPH4502 is currently investigated in a Phase 1 trial in advanced solid tumors known to express Nectin-4 ( NCT06781983 ). The poster is available on Innate Pharma’s website . About IPH4502 IPH4502 is a differentiated topoisomerase I inhibitor Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) conjugated to exatecan targeting Nectin-4, a cell adhesion molecule that is overexpressed in several types of solid tumors, such as urothelial carcinoma, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer or gastro-intestinal tract cancer. IPH4502 is currently investigated in a Phase 1 trial in advanced solid tumors. The Phase 1 trial will assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of IPH4502 in different solid tumors known to express Nectin-4, including but not limited to urothelial carcinoma, non-small cell lung, breast, ovarian, gastric, esophageal, and colorectal cancers. The study plans to enroll approximately 105 patients. In preclinical models, IPH4502 demonstrates strong bystander killing effect, and efficient internalization, enabling a potent anti-tumor activity in models with various Nectin-4 expression levels. Additionally, IPH4502 shows efficacy in models resistant to MMAE-ADC. These results support its potential for development beyond UC and in cancer patients treated with MMAE-based ADCs.

February 17, 2025 -- Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH; Nasdaq: IPHA) (“Innate” or the “Company”) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) to lacutamab, an anti-KIR3DL2 cytotoxicity-inducing antibody, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) Sézary syndrome (SS) after at least 2 prior systemic therapies including mogamulizumab. The BTD is granted based on Phase 1 study results as well as results from the Phase 2 TELLOMAK study, where lacutamab demonstrated encouraging efficacy and a favorable safety profile in heavily pretreated, post-mogamulizumab patients with advanced Sézary syndrome. “There is a high unmet medical need for patients with Sézary syndrome. In this aggressive and rare form of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, patients in advanced disease often experience very poor quality of life and are in strong need of new, targeted treatment options,” commented Sonia Quaratino, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Innate Pharma. “The Breakthrough Therapy Designation underscores lacutamab’s potential to transform the patient’s care by achieving clinically meaningful efficacy and favorable safety profile compared to available therapies. This is an important step in Innate’s strategy for lacutamab. We are excited to work with the U.S. FDA to accelerate the development of this therapy.” A Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the FDA is intended to accelerate the development and regulatory review in the U.S. of drugs that are intended to treat a serious condition and that have shown encouraging early clinical results, which may demonstrate substantial improvement on a clinically significant endpoint over available medicines. Lacutamab previously received a Fast Track designation by the FDA in 2019 for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory Sézary syndrome who have received at least two prior systemic therapies as well as a PRIME designation by European Medicines Agency in 2020. Innate continues to align with the regulatory agencies around the confirmatory Phase 3 trial in CTCL and is actively seeking for a partner Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma (CTCL) is a heterogeneous group of non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas which arise primarily in the skin and are characterized by the presence of malignant clonal mature T-cells. CTCL accounts for approximately 4% of all non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas and has a median age at diagnosis of 55-65 years. Mycosis fungoides, and Sézary syndrome, its leukemic variant, are the most common CTCL subtypes. The overall 5-year survival rate, which depends in part on disease subtype, is approximately 10% for Sézary syndrome. There are approximately 6,000 new CTCL cases in Europe and the United States per year. Sézary syndrome is the leukemic variant of CTCL. Patients often experience very poor quality of life with severe and debilitating pruritus (chronic itchy skin). Despite recent advancements, Sézary syndrome is associated with a high relapse rate with currently available therapies. Lacutamab is a first-in-class anti-KIR3DL2 humanized cytotoxicity-inducing antibody that is currently in clinical trials for treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), an orphan disease, and peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL). Rare cutaneous lymphomas of T lymphocytes have a poor prognosis with few efficacious and safe therapeutic options at advanced stages. KIR3DL2 is an inhibitory receptor of the KIR family, expressed by approximately 65% of patients across all CTCL subtypes and expressed by up 90% of patients with certain aggressive CTCL subtypes, in particular Sézary syndrome. It is expressed by up to 50% of patients with mycosis fungoides and peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). It has a restricted expression on normal tissues. Lacutamab is granted European Medicines Agency (EMA) PRIME designation and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Fast Track designation and Breakthrough Therapy Designation for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory Sézary syndrome who have received at least two prior systemic therapies. Lacutamab is granted orphan drug status in the European Union and in the United States for the treatment of CTCL. TELLOMAK (NCT03902184) is a global, open-label, multi-cohort Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides (MF) in the United States and Europe. Specifically: The trial is fully enrolled. The primary endpoint of the trial is objective global response rate. Key secondary endpoints are progression-free survival, duration of response, overall survival, quality of life, pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity and adverse events.
