−Removed: are a clinical-stage immunotherapy company focused on reprogramming the patient’s innate immune system to treat disease.
−Removed: We do this by targeting four key cells of the innate immune system, natural killer, or NK cells, and myeloid derived suppressor
−Removed: cells, or MDSC, hepatic stellate cells of the liver, or HSC, and microglial cells of the central nervous system.
−Removed: the body’s first line of defense due to their innate ability to rapidly seek and destroy abnormal cells, such as cancer
−Removed: or virally-infected cells, without prior exposure or activation by other support molecules required to activate adaptive immune
−Removed: cells such as T-cells.
−Removed: NK cells play a key role in the immune-surveillance that prevents people from getting cancer and in eliminating
−Removed: residual disease which may cause people to relapse after cytotoxic therapy.
−Removed: MDSC are myeloid cells produced in the bone marrow,
−Removed: take up residence in the tumor microenvironment, the tissue associated with the cancerous cells, to protect the tumor from immunological
−Removed: attack by the patient’s immune system.
−Removed: MDSC play a critical role in making the cancer resistant to immunotherapy such as
−Removed: currently approved checkpoint inhibitors.
−Removed: Microglial cells are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system responsible
−Removed: for protecting the neural unit of microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and neurons from infection.
−Removed: In the setting of chronic
−Removed: inflammation, microglial cells become activated and cause dysfunction of the other three cells types in the neural unit resulting
−Removed: in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases.
−Removed: Hepatic stellate cells are immunologically active cells that are part of the
−Removed: liver architecture that support hepatocyte function in health and disease.
−Removed: INB03, LivNate and XPro1595 are the identical drug
−Removed: used in different therapeutic arenas.
−Removed: INB03 is the name of the drug for cancer targeted applications.
−Removed: XPro1595 in the name of
−Removed: the drug for neurology and psychiatric indications.
−Removed: LivNate is the name of the drug for treatment of liver diseases.
−Removed: believe INKmune, our NK cell directed therapy, and INB03, our MDSC directed therapy, and XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy
−Removed: and LivNate, or HSC directed therapy offer unique strategies to improve the response of patients’
−Removed: innate immune system to
−Removed: their cancer, neurologic and liver disease respectively.
−Removed: These therapies will use a precision medicine approach to select patients
−Removed: who will benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy.
−Removed: For oncology, neither INB03 nor INKmune therapy is
−Removed: cancer specific.
−Removed: The decision to use either INKmune or INB03 as part of cancer therapies, or with each other, depends on immunologic
−Removed: parameters that can be tested in patients before treatment.
−Removed: The type of cancer is not important.
−Removed: This means that both therapies
−Removed: can be used to treat patients with a variety of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors that have the immunologic profile needed
−Removed: Put simply, we are treating the immune system to attack the patients’
−Removed: cancer, not targeting the patient’s
−Removed: cancer directly.
+Added: are a clinical-stage immunotherapy company focused on developing drugs that may reprogram the patient’s innate immune system
+Added: to treat disease.
+Added: We believe this may be done by targeting cells of the innate immune system that cause acute and chronic inflammation
+Added: and are involved in the immune dysfunction associated with chronic diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative, metabolic and infectious
+Added: The Company has two therapeutic platforms –
+Added: dominant-negative TNF platform (“DN-TNF”) and the Natural
+Added: Killer (“NK”) platform.
+Added: The DN-TNF platform neutralizes soluble TNF (“sTNF”) without affecting trans-membrane
+Added: TNF (“tmTNF”) or the receptors TNFR1 and TNFR2.
+Added: This unique biologic mechanism differentiates the DN-TNF drugs from
+Added: currently approved non-selective TNF inhibitors that inhibit the function of both sTNF and tmTNF.
+Added: Protecting the function of tmTNF
+Added: while neutralizing the function of sTNF is a potent anti-inflammatory drug that does not cause immunosuppression or demyelination.
+Added: Currently approved non-selective TNF inhibitors are approved to treat autoimmune disease, however they are contraindicated in
+Added: patients with infection, cancer and neurologic diseases because they increase the risk of infection, cancer and demyelinating
+Added: neurologic diseases, respectively, because of off-target effects on inhibiting tmTNF.
+Added: The NK platform targets the dysfunctional
+Added: natural killer cells (“NK cells”) in patients with cancer.
+Added: NK cells are part of the normal immunologic response to
+Added: cancer with important roles in immunosurveillance to prevent cancer and in preventing relapse by clearing residual disease.
+Added: disease is the cancer left behind, often undetected, that can grow and cause relapse.
+Added: The NK cells of cancer patients have the
+Added: ability to kill cancer cells but are not effective because cancer cells mutate to evade NK cell immune surveillance.
+Added: INKmune provides
+Added: the missing signals needed to prime NK cells to overcome the immune evasion mutation to allow NK cells to kill the cancer cell.
+Added: We believe INKmune is best used to eliminate residual disease after the patient has completed other cancer therapies.
+Added: DN-TNF platform and the INKmune platform can be used to treat multiple diseases.
+Added: The DN-TNF platform will be used as an immunotherapy
+Added: for the treatment of cancer, neurodegenerative, metabolic and infectious diseases.
+Added: INKmune is being developed to treat NK sensitive
+Added: hematologic malignancies and solid tumors.
+Added: believe our DN-TNF platform can be used to reverse resistance in immunotherapy, to target glial activation to prevent progression
+Added: of Alzheimer’s disease (“AD”), to target neuroinflammation in treatment resistant depression (“TRD”),
+Added: to target intestinal leak and inflammation to treat non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (“NASH”) and to treat complications
+Added: of the cytokine storm associated with COVID-19 infection.
+Added: The drug is named differently for each indication;
+Added: INB03, XPro1595,
+Added: LIVNate and Quellor, respectively, but it is the same drug product.
+Added: In each case, we believe neutralizing sTNF is a cornerstone
+Added: to the treatment of each of these diseases.
+Added: As an immunotherapy for cancer, we are using INB03 to neutralize sTNF produced by
+Added: HER2+ trastuzumab resistant breast cancers to reverse resistance to therapy.
+Added: sTNF causes an up-regulation of MUC4 expression that
+Added: causes steric hindrance of trastuzumab binding to the HER2/Neu receptor on HER2+ breast cancer cells.
+Added: Without binding, trastuzumab
+Added: is not effective.
+Added: In addition, INB03 changes the immunobiology of the tumor microenvironment by decreasing the number of immunosuppressive
+Added: myeloid cells, both myeloid derived suppressor cells and tumor active macrophages, and increasing the number of cytotoxic lymphocytes
+Added: The Company has completed an open label dose escalation trial in cancer patients with metastatic solid tumors that
+Added: have failed multiple lines of therapy.
+Added: The trial informs the design of the Phase II trial by demonstrating that INB03 was safe
+Added: and well tolerated, defined the dose of INB03 to carry into Phase II trials, and demonstrated a pharmacodynamic end-point.
+Added: II trial is planned in women with advanced HER2+ breast cancer with metastasis.
+Added: we believe the DN-TNF platform can be used to treat selected neurodegenerative diseases.
+Added: XPro1595 is being used to treat patients
+Added: with Alzheimer’s disease in a Phase I trial partially funded by a Part-the-Clouds Award from the Alzheimer’s Association.
+Added: XPro1595 targets activated microglia and astrocytes of the brain that produce sTNF that promotes nerve cell loss and synaptic
+Added: dysfunction, key elements in the development of dementia.
+Added: In animal models, elimination of sTNF prevents nerve cell dysfunction
+Added: and reverses synaptic pruning.
+Added: The Phase I trial in patients with biomarkers of inflammation with AD is enrolling patients.
+Added: open label, dose escalation trial is designed to demonstrate that XPro1595 decreases neuroinflammation in patients with AD.
+Added: end-points of the trial are measures of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration in blood and cerebral spinal fluid, measures of
+Added: neuroinflammation by MRI by measuring white matter free water and breath by measuring volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath
+Added: and by monitoring neuropsychiatric symptoms known to be associated with neuroinflammation including depression, apathy, aggression,
+Added: hallucinations and sleep disorders.
+Added: addition, we believe the DN-TNF platform can be used to treat selected metabolic diseases.
+Added: LIVNate is being developed to treat
+Added: NASH is a pleiotropic disease caused by a complex mix of metabolic, inflammatory and fibrotic pathophysiology.
+Added: targeting inflammation caused by intestinal leak, mesenteric and peripheral fat will prevent lipotoxicity, hepatic stellate cell
+Added: activation and hepatocyte death that causes fibrosis and liver dysfunction associated with advanced disease.
+Added: sTNF is elevated
+Added: in obesity and is believed to cause intestinal leak.
+Added: Intestinal leak combined with cytokines coming from mesenteric fat may dramatically
+Added: increase the concentration of inflammatory cytokines in portal blood destined for the liver.
+Added: The cytokine load contributes to
+Added: the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”) and progression to NASH.
+Added: LIVNate, by neutralizing sTNF
+Added: improves insulin sensitivity, decreases the inflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat and may also seal the intestinal leak.
+Added: This combination prevents development of NAFLD or NASH in animal models.
+Added: The Company is planning a Phase II open label randomized
+Added: study using non-invasive measures to enroll patients with NASH in a study using a fixed dose of LIVNate delivered as a once a
+Added: week sub-cutaneous injection.
+Added: also believe the DN-TNF platform may be used to treat the complications associated with the cytokine storm caused by coronavirus
+Added: disease 2019 (“COVID-19”).
+Added: Three inflammatory cytokines make up the cytokine storm associated with COVID19 infection
+Added: sTNF, IL-6 and IL-1β.
+Added: Targeting sTNF with Quellor may have advantages because IL-6 and IL-1 expression occur after
+Added: sTNF expression;
+Added: sTNF promotes endothelial activation causing expression of proteins that promote trafficking of immune cells
+Added: from the blood vessel to the tissue and expression of Tissue Factor that stimulates the coagulopathy that is a prominent pathology
+Added: of COVID-19 infection.
+Added: The Company plans a Phase II trial in patients with symptomatic COVID-19 infection and hypoxia.
+Added: of the study is to prevent the catastrophic complications of advanced COVID-19 infection including one or more of the need for
+Added: mechanical ventilation, new onset of cardiovascular, neurologic or thromboembolic disease, admission to an intensive care unit
+Added: The randomized trial will treat patients requiring hospitalization because of their disease.
+Added: therapy for treatment resistant depression (TRD) is a large unmet need.
+Added: Twenty percent of patients with a Major Depressive Disorder
+Added: Once third of TRD patients have peripheral biomarkers to inflammation (elevated CRP).
+Added: This is a large patient population.
+Added: The role of TNF and anti-TNF therapeutics was explored in a small open label clinical trial by Prof.
+Added: Andrew Miller, MD of Emory
+Added: University demonstrated the patients have elevated TNF levels and treatment with infliximab treated their depression (Miller,
+Added: The Company received a $2.9M USD award from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to treat TRD with XPro1595.
+Added: The blinded, randomized Phase II trial will use a biomarkers of peripheral inflammation to select patients with TRD for enrollment.
+Added: Patients will be treated for 6 weeks.
+Added: Primary end-points include both clinical and neuroimaging measures.
+Added: The final trial design
+Added: has is ongoing and discussions with the FDA are not complete.
+Added: The Company anticipates receiving authorization to initiate the
+Added: clinical trial in the second half of 2021.
believe that INKmune improves the ability of the patient’s own NK cells to attack their tumor.
−Removed: INKmune itself will not kill
−Removed: cancer cells.
−Removed: INKmune interacts with the patient’s NK cells to convert them from inert resting NK cells that ignores the
−Removed: cancer into primed NK cells that kill the cancer cell.
−Removed: INKmune is a replication incompetent proprietary cell line we have named
−Removed: INB16 that is given to the patient after determining that i) the patient has adequate NK cells in their circulation and ii) those
−Removed: NK cells are functional when exposed to INKmune in vitro.
−Removed: INKmune is designed to be given to patients after their immune system
−Removed: has recovered after cytotoxic chemotherapy to target the residual disease the remains after treatment with cytotoxic therapy.
−Removed: we believe XPro1595, our microglial directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to decrease neuroinflammation, a key pathophysiology
−Removed: in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases.
−Removed: XPro1595 will use a precision medicine approach to select patients who will
−Removed: benefit from the therapy and monitor the response to the therapy.
−Removed: The therapy is not diagnosis specific but will be used in patients
−Removed: who have biomarkers of neuroinflammation.
−Removed: Our initial program with XPro1595 will be treating patients with Alzheimer’s disease
−Removed: with biomarkers inflammation.
−Removed: we believe LivNate, our HSC directed therapy, offers a unique strategy to treat NASH by decreasing peripheral , regional and local
−Removed: inflammatory cycles that results in hepatocyte ballooning and death, hepatitis and fibrosis, the core pathophysiology of many
−Removed: inflammatory liver diseases.
−Removed: Our initial program with LivNate will be treating patients with NASH.
−Removed: shown in Figure 4 above, is an engineered protein therapeutic that neutralizes soluble TNF using Dominant-Negative technology.
−Removed: Dominant-Negative TNF biology is possible because of the unique properties of TNF.
−Removed: TNF is comprised of 3 identical proteins that
−Removed: form a homotrimer that bind the TNF receptor.
−Removed: INB03, a mutated form of the monomer, can displace one or more of the monomers for
−Removed: the sTNF homotrimer to form a heterotrimer.
−Removed: The heterotrimer is unable to bind TNFR.
−Removed: Without sTNF/TNFR interaction, there is not
−Removed: biologic affect.
−Removed: This is shown in Figure 5 below.
−Removed: unique mechanism of action allows INB03 to be the only selective TNF inhibitor that affects only sTNF.
−Removed: All currently available
−Removed: TNF inhibitors are non-selective TNF inhibitors that block both sTNF and tmTNF.
−Removed: This functional difference shown in Figure 6 below
−Removed: translates into therapeutic differences.
−Removed: The most obvious in the use of a TNF inhibitor in the treatment of cancer patients is
−Removed: related to safety.
−Removed: Non-selective TNF inhibitors are immunosuppressive because they inhibit both sTNF and tmTNF.
−Removed: INB03 is not immunosuppressive
−Removed: because it inhibits only sTNF and allows tmTNF to function normally (please refer to Figure 3).
−Removed: In animal models of cancer, the
−Removed: combination of no sTNF with functional tmTNF after treatment with INB03 improved the immune response against the tumor compared
−Removed: to animals treated with the non-selective TNF inhibitor etanercept (Vujanovic 2016).
−Removed: In summary, sTNF, by binding to TNFR1, is
−Removed: essential for MDSC proliferation by causing phosphorylation of STAT3.
−Removed: Without the binding of sTNF to TNFR1, the proliferation
−Removed: of the MDSC stops and the MDSC population collapses.
−Removed: Without the immunosuppressive shield provided by the MDSC population, the
−Removed: patient’s immune system, without concomitant immunotherapy, can attack the tumor.
−Removed: A secondary effect of INB03 is to improve
−Removed: NK cells-dendritic cell (NK/DC) cross-talk to help expand patient’s anti-tumor immune response by recruiting cytotoxic T
−Removed: cells of the adaptive immune system.
−Removed: tmTNF is essential to NK/DC cross-talk.
−Removed: believe our innate immune system reprogram platforms provides unique strategies to repair the immunologic dysfunction that characterizes
−Removed: the innate immune system of patients with cancer.
−Removed: The products can be used alone, in combination with other anti-tumor or immunotherapy
−Removed: treatments or with each other.
−Removed: In the near term, we are developing the products separately.
−Removed: After completion of proof-of-concept
−Removed: Phase II trials, we will consider developing them as a combination therapy.
−Removed: Until we complete clinical trials, we cannot predict
−Removed: if either product will be successful when used alone, in combination with other therapies or in combination with each other.
−Removed: mechanism of action for XPro1595 is identical to INB03, but the cell type targeted in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease
−Removed: is different.
−Removed: Microglial cells are macrophage like immune cells that are unique to the central nervous system.
−Removed: Activated microglial
−Removed: cells produce inflammatory cytokines and phagocytos debris in the brain to promote normal function of the neural unit and protect
−Removed: the brain against infection.
−Removed: Chronic inflammation is a low grade, unrelenting inflammatory process that is destructive to the
−Removed: host resulting in dendritic pruning, synaptic dysfunction and cell dysfunction and death.
−Removed: Death of nerve cells can cause cognitive
−Removed: decline of AD, motor dysfunction of Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (“ALS”).
−Removed: Death of oligodendrocytes
−Removed: that produce myelin can cause MS and other demyelinating diseases.
−Removed: In the brain, the unique action of XPro1595 to neutralize the
−Removed: destructive cytokine soluble TNF while promoting the function of the trans-membrane TNF, the protective cytokine is unique.
−Removed: Neutralization
−Removed: of soluble TNF and polarization of the immunology to trans-membrane TNF effects prevents dendritic pruning and synaptic dysfunction,
−Removed: promotes phagocytosis of debris by microglial cells and prevents demyelinization of neurons.
−Removed: These effects have benefits across
−Removed: a broad range of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatirc diseases.
−Removed: At this time, due to non-dilutive funding provided by the Part-the-Cloud
−Removed: Award from the Alzheimer’s Association, we will focus our develop efforts on Alzheimer’s disease.
−Removed: The funding provided
−Removed: by the Alzheimer’s Association supports a Phase I trial.
−Removed: If the trial is successful and the Company decides to pursue additional
−Removed: development is AD, additional funding will be needed to support a Phase II trial.
−Removed: In the future, when resources become available,
−Removed: we may expand our activities other neurodegenerative or neuropsychiatric diseases.
−Removed: mechanism of action for LivNate is identical to INB03 and XPro1595, but the cell type targeted in liver disease is different.
−Removed: In the liver, LivNate targets HSC, a key cell in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the liver.
−Removed: Our first therapeutic program
−Removed: will use LivNate to treat NASH.
−Removed: NASH is a complex, but silent liver disease that has reached epidemic proportions in the US;
−Removed: to be the primary cause of liver transplantation in the US.
−Removed: The company views NASH as a disease of chronic inflammation caused
−Removed: by three inflammatory loops.
−Removed: The peripheral inflammatory loop is due to obesity and insulin resistance.
−Removed: The regional inflammatory
−Removed: loop is due to intestinal inflammation and mesenteric fat.
−Removed: The local inflammatory loop is due to lipotoxicity and innate immune
−Removed: These inflammatory loops combine to promote hepatitis, hepatocyte dropout and fibrosis –
−Removed: the hallmarks of NASH.
−Removed: Pre-clinical models of LivNate in NASH support initiating a clinical study next year.
−Removed: Three well defined inflammatory loops contribute the development and progression of NASH.
−Removed: The peripheral loop includes obesity
−Removed: and insulin resistance.
−Removed: Adipocytes contribute to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance that initiates fat deposition in
−Removed: As obesity and insulin resistance progress, the regional inflammatory loop begins to contribute to the disease.
−Removed: intense inflammation associated with mesenteric fat and intestinal inflammation secondary to a leaky gut target the liver directly
−Removed: via the portal vein.
−Removed: The combination of peripheral and regional inflammation results in lipotoxicity and activation of resident
−Removed: innate immune cells in the liver results in the local inflammatory loop that causes hepatitis, hepatocyte ballooning and death,
−Removed: and fibrosis - the pathologic hallmarks of NASH.
−Removed: Based on preclinical data, LivNate appears to target, directly or indirectly,
−Removed: multiple elements of the inflammatory loops by decreasing adipocyte inflammation in peripheral and mesenteric fat, improving insulin
−Removed: resistance, decreasing the intestinal leak associated with intestinal inflammation, reducing hepatic lipotoxicity, liver inflammation,
−Removed: hepatocyte ballooning and fibrosis.
−Removed: Stem Cells (“MSC”) are pluripotent cells with potent immunologic effects which can be used alone as an anti-inflammatory
−Removed: treatment strategy or a vector to deliver gene therapy.
−Removed: We have access to a large quantity of human, GMP-grade MSC that can be
−Removed: repurposed for use in medical research or clinical trials.
−Removed: We plan to sell these cells to third parties.
−Removed: We may expand this activity
−Removed: in the future to include positioning the Company as a contract manufacturer for companies developing MSC products or developing
−Removed: our own MSC based products.
−Removed: At this time, the program will be self-sustaining and growing on reinvestment of revenues from the
−Removed: sale of the MSC products.
−Removed: Integrated Discovery and Development Process.
−Removed: Our focus on reprogramming the patient’s immune system to better attack
−Removed: disease allows for synergies between the development and discovery process.
−Removed: A majority of our effort is focused on the development
−Removed: process that includes improving the manufacturing systems for INKmune and the DN-TNF platform (INB03/XPro1595/LivNate) and optimizing
−Removed: bioassays to be used during the clinical trials.
−Removed: These manufacturing and monitoring programs may produce discoveries that the
−Removed: company can capitalize on as product improvements or new products.
−Removed: INB03 has uses beyond treatment of resistance to immunotherapy
−Removed: in oncology, and XPro1595 has uses beyond the treatment of AD in the treatment of neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases.
−Removed: The DN-TNF platform may have therapeutic opportunities in other diseases including cardiovascular diseases including arrythmias,
−Removed: congestive heart failure, renal disease and metabolic diseases including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (“NAFLD”)
−Removed: and other inflammatory diseases of the liver and gastrointestinal tract.
−Removed: Although the Company will focus on the immuno-oncology
−Removed: uses of INB03, the treatment of NASH with LivNate and the treatment of AD with XPro1595 in the near-term, the Company plans to
−Removed: expand the development into other indications as resources become available.
−Removed: All attempts will be made to fund new research and
−Removed: development with non-dilutive resources that come from grants or revenue from sales of the MSC products.
−Removed: our inception in 2015, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the discovery and development of our product candidates,
−Removed: including preparing for clinical trials, drug manufacturing and funding general and administrative support for these operations.
−Removed: To date, we have generated no revenue.
−Removed: We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception and, as of December 31, 2019,
−Removed: we had an accumulated deficit of $21,276,181.
−Removed: Our net losses were $7,678,313 and $12,440,023 for the years ended December 31,
−Removed: 2019 and 2018, respectively.
−Removed: Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research
−Removed: and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations, including stock-based compensation.
−Removed: do not expect to generate revenue from product sales of INKmune or any products from the DN-TNF platform until we successfully
−Removed: complete development and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates.
−Removed: We do not expect that to happen
−Removed: for at least the next several years, if ever.
−Removed: Until such time that we can generate substantial revenue from product sales, if
−Removed: ever, we expect to finance our operating activities through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, government or
−Removed: other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing
−Removed: arrangements.
−Removed: However, we may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such other arrangements when needed on favorable
−Removed: terms or at all, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition and could force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate
−Removed: our research and development programs or commercialization efforts.
