With that, I will now hand it over to Jonathan. Jonathan E. Dickinson: Thank you, Stephanie. Good morning to those joining from the US. And good afternoon to our European participants. Turning to Slide 5, the first half of 2026 together with development since the end of the period has been marked by important progress across our focus portfolio. Starting with lacutamab, in August, we announced our strategic partnership with Sobe to advance the program in T cell lymphoma. As announced yesterday, that partnership is now effective following the closing of the deal. And the TELLOMAK-3 Phase 3 has been initiated. We are targeting the first patient in the study in Q1 2027 as we work toward a filing for accelerated approval in Sezary Syndrome in 2027. For IPH4.5 thousand as announced in July, we completed Phase 1 dose escalation and cohort enrichment enrollment, and have seen preliminary antitumor activity including objective responses in post EV urothelial cancer. As well as in non small cell lung cancer, and head and neck cancer. With a favorable safety profile observed to date. We will share initial Phase 1 dose escalation data at the URTC NCI AACR meeting on November 18, 2026, in Barcelona. Turning to monalizumab, enrollment in the PACIFIC-9 Phase 3 study has been completed. And we continue to expect the Phase 3 readout in the second half of 2026. Financially, our position has been strengthened by the 75 million Sobe upfront payment associated with the closing of the deal. And the 30 million equity financing. Together, these are expected to extend our projected cash runway through the end of the first quarter of 2028. Taken together, we believe these developments position NAEP for several important catalysts in the second half of 2026. Let me start with lacutamab, Lacutamab is our anti-KIR3DL2 antibody being developed in cutaneous T cell lymphoma or CTCL. Turning to slide 7, As I mentioned, in August, we announced a strategic partnership with Sobe to license lacutamab in T cell lymphoma. The transaction has now closed. TELLOMAK-3, our confirmatory Phase 3 study in CTCL has been initiated. With the first patient expected in the first quarter of 2027. Innate will conduct the Phase 3 study and we will file for accelerated approval in Sezary Syndrome based on the existing Phase 2 TELLOMAK data. Upon the potential accelerated approval, Sobe will receive exclusive global rights to commercialize lacutamab. Following positive Phase 3 results, Sobe will be eligible to obtain full global development rights. Under the terms of the agreement, the transaction includes a 75 million upfront payment up to 40 million in near term milestones connected to Sezary Syndrome. And up to an additional $465 million related to Sobe's option to obtain full development rights and future re regulatory and commercial milestones. Agreement also includes tiered double digit royalties on future net sales. I will now hand it over to Sonia to review the regulatory and development path forward. Sonia? Sonia Quaratino: Thank you, Jonathan. Lacutamab is now progressing toward Phase 3 TELLOMAK-3 initiation and planned accelerated approval filing. So from a regulatory and development perspective, the path forward is well defined. We have FDA clearance to proceed with TELLOMAK-3. Which now has been initiated with the first patient expected in the first quarter 2027. The study includes a confirmatory cohort in Sezary Syndrome and a registrational cohort in mycosis fungoides. The existing Phase 2 TELLOMAK data are intended to support an accelerated approval filing in Sezary Syndrome once TELLOMAK-3 is underway. With a filing currently planned for the second half of 2027. As a reminder, lacutamab has received breakthrough therapy designation from the FDA for relapsed or refractory Sezary Syndrome as well as fast track designation from the FDA, PRIME designation from the EMA, and an orphan drug status in both United States and Europe. So with the regulatory pathway is established and the Sobe partnership now effective, our focus is on advancing TELLOMAK-3 toward first patient enrollment in the first quarter of 2027. Turning to the next slide, please. I now move to IPH4.5 thousand. Our differentiated Nectin-4 exatecan ADC. Which is in Phase 1 development for advanced solid tumors. IPH4.5 thousand was designed to address some of the key limitations of the first generation of Nectin-4 ADCs. The molecule combines an exatecan topoisomerase-I payload with our proprietary stable linker and a high-affinity Nectin-4 antibody that binds non overlapping epitope compared with enfortumab vedotin. We believe these features provide an important point of differentiation as the Nectin-4 ADC landscape continues to evolve. Importantly, we are now beginning to see that profile translate clinically. We have observed preliminary antitumor activity with objective responses in heavily pretreated patients, including patients with urothelial cancer following prior enfortumab vedotin treatment as well as in non small cell lung cancer, head and neck cancer. The safety profile observed to date has been favorable with limited hematological. Toxicity. We completed dose escalation in July, and a broadly tracking in line with our expectations across expansion cohorts with approximately 15 patients enrolled in both post TB urothelial cancer, head and neck cancer, and somewhat lower enrollment in the non-small cell lung cancer cohort. Data cleaning is ongoing, and we look forward to presenting the initial Phase 1 dose escalation dataset at the EORTC NCI AACR Symposium on November 18, 2026. Next slide, please. An area of particular interest for IPH4.5 thousand is urothelial cancer. following prior EV treatment. While EV plus pembrolizumab has significantly changed the treatment landscape, Most patients progress within 2 years. And there remains no established second line standard of treatment after progression on this regimen. Against that backdrop, the preliminary activity we have observed with IPH4.5 thousand in heavily pretreated post-EV patients including objective responses, is encouraging. These remain early Phase 1 observations, and the upcoming dataset will help us determine how to best advance the program. Slide 12, please. I now move forward to monalizumab. Which is our NKG2A antibody being codeveloped with AstraZeneca in non small cell lung cancer. PACIFIC-9 is a randomized Phase 3 trial with unresectable Stage III non small cell lung cancer. Patients who have not progressed following a definitive platinum based concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Study enrolled 1.05 thousand patients in a comparison to nivolumab plus oliclumab, duvalumab plus monalizumab, and duvalumab plus placebo with progression-free survival as the primary endpoint. The program is supported by 3 earlier Phase 2 studies in non small cell lung cancer, including COAST, NeoCOAST, and NeoCOAST-2. With enrollment complete, Phase 3 data remain expected in the second half of 2026. I now hand over to Yannis to briefly review the economics of our partnership with AstraZeneca. Yannis Morel: Thank you, Sonia. As a reminder, under our monalizumab partnership with AstraZeneca, we have received to date $450 million. And the additional potential milestone in the agreement are up to $825 million together with double digit royalties outside Europe and 50% profit sharing in Europe. Turning to Slide 15. I will move now to our next generation ADC pipeline. Beyond IPH4.5 thousand we are using our internal capabilities and technology to build a broad portfolio of differentiated ADC candidates. Turning to slide 16. Leveraging our antibody discovery and engineering expertise, expertise, we have built a comprehensive ADC platform to develop a portfolio of next generation ADCs designed to overcome the limitation of the current ones. Building on IPH4.5 thousand linker, which stability in patients is demonstrated by our emerging clinical data we are developing a drug candidate portfolio around 3 approaches. First, dual targeted bispecifics ADCs to address tumor antigen heterogeneity and to expand addressable indication compared to single tumor antigen targeting. Second, bispecific ADCs with enhanced internalization to unlock the activity in antigen low expressing tumors. And finally, dual payload ADCs using complementary mechanism of action to overcome resistance. I now hand over to Frederic our financial results. Frederic Lombard: Thank you, Yanis. I will now provide a brief overview of our financial position for the first half of 2026. Turning to Slide 18. So as of June 30, 2026, our cash equivalent and financial assets amounted to €21.4 million. That balance does not include the $75 million, Sobi upfront payment equivalent to €65 million, nor the proceeds from the €30 million equity offering. The offering represents €30 million on gross proceeds or €28 million in expected net proceeds. Primary use of proceeds is the continued clinical development of IPH4.5 thousand the advancements of our preclinical ADC portfolio, and as well as general corporate purposes. Together with the Sobe upfront payment, these proceeds are expected to extend our cash runway through the end of the first quarter of 2028. I will now hand over to Jonathan. Jonathan E. Dickinson: Thank you, Frederic. Moving to slide 20, and turning to our key catalysts for the remainder of 2026. For lacutamab, following closing of the strategic partnership with Sobi, TELLOMAK-3 has been initiated. With the first patient planned for the first quarter of 2027. Followed by a planned filing for accelerated approval in the second half of 2027. For IPH4.5 thousand dose escalation enrollment is complete with preliminary antitumor activity and a favorable safety profile observed to date. We will report initial Phase 1 dose escalation data at the EORTC-NCI-AACR meeting on November 18, 2026. And for monalizumab, PACIFIC-9 enrollment is complete. With the Phase 3 readout expected in the second half of this year. So we have 3 important near term catalysts across our focus portfolio. Together with a strengthened financial position that supports our continued execution of these priorities. With that, operator, we are ready to open the call for questions. Operator: We will now begin the question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star 1 to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star 1 again. We ask that you pick up your handset when asking a question to allow for optimum sound quality. If you are muted locally, please remember to unmute your device. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Daina Graybosch with Leerink Partners. Your line is open, Daina. Please go ahead. Bill: Good morning, everyone. Congrats on the updates. So just 1 for me. I got Bill on for Daina. So we have seen the prior base ADC show some pretty good activity in the post setting, but it did have some, you know, pretty high heme toxicities. And so can you talk about IPH4.5 thousand stable linker design and what you confidence you will not see the same sort of issues? Thank you. Yannis Morel: Thank you for the question. Maybe, Yanis, you can take that 1. Yeah. Maybe I can start and let Sonia comment? I mean, we have worked on the on the design of the linker, and based on what we have seen at ASCO, published by others with the with their own linker. It seems that the stability of our linker that we have seen in preclinical models, including in nonhuman primates, seems to be translated into the human situation leading to a very limited release of the free payload, which is 1 of the reasons for the systemic pathological toxicity of some AEDCs. Yeah. What we can add is the bicycle data that have been released recently actually stated based on their own data that was seen in the trial. So the instable linker was used as an explanation for the hematologic toxicity in these data set. Sonia Quaratino: Great. Yannis Morel: Thank you. Operator: Your next question comes from the line of Jeet Mukherjee with BTIG. Your line is open, Jeet. Please go ahead. Jeet Mukherjee: Great. Good morning, and thanks for taking the question. So pending, you know, an accelerated approval there, could you speak to the potential for front line off label use for lacutamab in Sezary Syndrome? Given that seems to be the case with mogolizumab? And I have a follow-up question. Jonathan E. Dickinson: Yeah. Maybe I would take that question, Jeet. So our expectation is that lacutamab will be listed in the NCCN guidelines following the accelerated approval for both Sezary Syndrome and for mycosis fungoides. I think with that listing, it seems to leave it open for physicians to be able to use the product across the different lines of therapy. So our expectation based on the safety profile of lacutamab, which is pretty benign, We expect that you will see some off label usage in the first line setting. And so, yes, I mean, I think there is an expectation that you will see that. And, also, despite the fact that the accelerated approval will be in Sezary Syndrome, There will also be an expectation based on the potential listing in the NCCA guidelines for mycosis fungoides that you will also see usage in MF. Hopefully, answers your question. Jeet Mukherjee: Great. I appreciate that. Maybe just 2 other quick follow ups. Just any initial thoughts on pricing Do you think you could price at a premium to mogolizumab? And then separately, on Pacific 9, in terms of just the update format anticipate perhaps a press release at minimum from AstraZeneca. But will Innate have their own press release and analyst call as well? Thank you. Jonathan E. Dickinson: Yeah. So in terms of pricing, we have completed pricing research in the US, which was conducted by ZS Associates. And what we were able to establish with US payers was that we can price lacutamab between $500 thousand and $650 thousand per patient per annum. And that will be supported by our clinical data in the NCCN listing. So there is an expectation here that you would be able to achieve premium pricing, particularly in an indication like Sezary Syndrome, with a relatively low incidence. And then be able to carry that forward into the mycosis fungoides indication, which is a larger indication, but still an orphan disease. So that is pricing. So and then with respect to Pacific 9, you are correct. The expectation is that there will be a press release from AstraZeneca when the results are available, and we would also look to press release that as well and potentially do some calls following the availability of that primary endpoint data. Great. Thank you. Hopefully, that answers the question. Operator: The next question will be read by Stephanie Cornen. Stephanie, please go ahead. Stephanie Cornen: Yes. So we have a question from Clément Steiert from Stifel. The first question is, as dose escalation and cohort expansion enrollment are now complete, should we expect the initial ENA data sets to be primarily a safety pharmacology update? Or mature enough to inform subsequent development decision. So, Sonia, maybe you can take that question. Sonia Quaratino: Yeah. Yeah, the question is almost the answer. So this is out of 11 different indications and 76 patients, so we are expecting to see relevant and informative safety data. And we are also expecting response data from patients, and this will inform our next steps. We need to fully understand the data and we will review and disclose that as proposed on the in our meeting. Thank you. Stephanie Cornen: And there is another question. With the strengthened balance sheet following the recent financing, how far along the development path could you advance IPH4.5 thousand on your own. Frederic Lombard: So, maybe Frederic can take that. Jonathan E. Dickinson: I think you are all aware that we did a small raise of €30 million a couple of weeks ago. The rationale behind that equity raise was to be able to progress seamlessly into the next steps for IPH4.5 thousand So we are well positioned now to be able to move into the next steps, whatever that will be, and will dictate what that is: whether it is dose optimization, and we are equipped to be able to do that. If we would need to broaden the program, if the data supports going to potentially additional tumor types, then that would require additional funding to be able to conduct multiple dose optimizations across different tumor types. But at least for the initial steps, we are funded to be able to take those steps and take the product forward seamlessly into dose optimization. Hopefully, that answers the question again. Operator: We have now reached the end of the Q&A session. I will turn the call back to Jonathan E. Dickinson, CEO, for closing remarks. Jonathan E. Dickinson: So thank you very much everybody for joining us today for our update and following our H1 results. We look forward to updating you as we progress through the important catalysts that we outlined today, which come across the remainder of the year. So thank you for your time, and see you soon. Operator: This concludes today's call. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect.

The partnership is intended to enable initiation of the TELLOMAK-3 confirmatory Phase 3 study in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), a key step toward filing for accelerated approval of lacutamab in Sézary syndrome, a subtype of CTCL. On September 16, Innate Pharma announced closing of the transaction under the partnership agreement, following expiration of the anti-trust waiting periods and completion of other conditions (Link PR). This triggers a USD 75 million upfront payment and marks the initiation of the TELLOMAK-3 confirmatory Phase 3 study, with first patient expected in Q1 2027. Under the agreement, Innate is conducting the TELLOMAK-3 Phase 3 confirmatory trial in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The TELLOMAK-3 study will subsequently support applications for full approvals in key jurisdictions in Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, the most common subtype. Sobi will receive exclusive global rights to commercialize lacutamab upon potential accelerated approval and will be eligible to assume full global development rights following positive Phase 3 results. Under the terms of the agreement, Sobi will pay Innate Pharma USD 75 million, payable on closing. Innate will be eligible to receive up to a further USD 40 million in respect of near-term development milestones connected to Sézary syndrome. Additionally, Innate will be eligible to receive up to USD 465 million related to the option for Sobi to get full development rights and to future regulatory and commercial milestones. Innate will be eligible to receive tiered double-digit royalties on net sales. In February 2025, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to lacutamab for relapsed or refractory Sézary syndrome based on TELLOMAK Phase 2 results demonstrating encouraging efficacy and a favorable safety profile in patients with Sézary syndrome, heavily pretreated, post-mogamulizumab. Breakthrough Therapy Designation 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 has also received Fast Track designation from the FDA, PRIME designation from the EMA and orphan drug status in both the United States and Europe. Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL) The investigator-sponsored Phase 2 KILT (anti-KIR in T-Cell Lymphoma) trial, led by the Lymphoma Study Association (LYSA), evaluating lacutamab in combination with GEMOX (gemcitabine and oxaliplatin) versus GEMOX alone in patients with KIR3DL2-expressing relapsed/refractory PTCL has ended recruitment. IPH4502 (Nectin-4 exatecan ADC): In July 2026, Innate announced completion of dose-escalation and backfill enrollment in the ongoing Phase 1 study of IPH4502, with 76 patients enrolled across multiple tumor types known to express Nectin-4. Preliminary anti-tumor activity has been observed in heavily pre-treated patients, including objective responses in urothelial cancer following prior enfortumab vedotin, as well as in NSCLC and HNSCC. A favorable safety profile has been observed to date, with limited hematological toxicity. Initial Phase 1 dose-escalation data will be presented at the 38th EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics (ENA 2026) on November 18, 2026. Monalizumab (anti-NKG2A antibody), developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca: PACIFIC-9 is an AstraZeneca-sponsored Phase 3 study evaluating durvalumab in combination with monalizumab or oleclumab in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC who have not progressed following platinum-based chemoradiation therapy (CRT). Enrollment in the trial is complete, and data readout is expected in H2 2026. The Phase 3 program is supported by clinical findings from the Phase 2 COAST study, in which the combination of durvalumab and monalizumab suggested prolonged progression-free survival compared with durvalumab alone. IPH5201 (anti-CD39 antibody, developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca): The Phase 2 MATISSE study evaluating IPH5201 in combination with durvalumab and platinum-based chemotherapy in resectable NSCLC is ongoing. Encouraging results from a pre-planned interim analysis presented at AACR 2026 showed an overall pathological complete response rate of 27.5%, with higher response rates observed in patients with PD-L1-positive tumors. Following the interim analysis, MATISSE continues enrollment in the PD-L1 ≥1% patient population. Preclinical ADC pipeline For its preclinical ADC portfolio, Innate is leveraging its proprietary linker technology, in clinical development through IPH4502. Innate’s next-generation ADC approaches include bispecific ADCs designed to address tumor antigen heterogeneity, approaches aimed at enhancing internalization to unlock activity in tumors with low target expression, and dual-payload approaches intended to overcome payload resistance. Post period events and Corporate Update: In August 2026, Innate Pharma announced the appointment of Markus Jensen, 57, as Chief Medical Officer and member of the Executive Leadership Team, effective September 1, 2026. He succeeds Sonia Quaratino and oversees the Company’s clinical development activities as Innate prepares to advance lacutamab into Phase 3 and continues development of IPH4502. Markus Jensen joined Innate Pharma in 2024 as head of clinical pharmacology and has served as global clinical lead for Company key programs, including IPH4502. He brings more than 25 years of experience spanning clinical medicine, academic research and the pharmaceutical industry. Prior to joining Innate, he held leadership positions at Bayer for more than 16 years, with a particular focus on oncology and clinical development. He holds a medical degree from the University of Cologne and is double board certified by Ärztekammer Nordrhein in Internal Medicine and Clinical Pharmacology. On August 18, 2026, Innate completed a capital increase without preferential subscription consisting of a private placement of 17,647,059 new ordinary shares of the Company for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of an approximately €30 million. Together with the $75 million upfront payment, the proceeds of the private placement are expected to extend the Company’s projected cash runway through end of Q1 2028. As of June 30, 2026, the balance available under our April 2023 sales agreement under the At-The-Market program remains at $75 million. Financials highlights for the first half of 2026: The key elements of Innate’s financial position and financial results as of and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 are as follows: Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and financial assets amounting to €21.4 million (€m) as of June 30, 2026 (€44.8m as of December 31, 2025). As of June 30, 2026, financial liabilities amount to €20.2m (€22.6m as of December 31, 2025). This change is mainly due to loan repayments. Revenue and other income amounted to €5.7m in the first half of 2026 (€4.9m in the first half of 2025) and mainly comprised of: Operating expenses are €24.7m in the first half of 2026 (€30.3m in the first half of 2025), of which 68.4% (€16.9m) are related to R&D. A net financial loss of €0.6m in the first half of 2026 (profit for €4.1m in the first half of 2025). This change is mainly due to an unfavorable variation in net foreign exchange gain with its unfavorable impact on the collaboration liabilities recorded during the first half of 2026 in connection with the change in the dollar exchange rate and an unfavorable variation in income resulting from financial assets and fair value revaluation due to an unfavorable effect of investment rates recorded on the financial markets. A net loss of €19.6m for the first half of 2026 (net loss of €21.3m for the first half of 2025). The table below summarizes the IFRS consolidated financial statements as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026, including 2025 comparative information.

Summary of Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes as of JUNE 30, 2026 Revenue and other income The following table summarizes operating revenue for the periods under review: Revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements Revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements increased by €1.4 million, to €3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to revenues from collaboration and licensing agreements of €1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. These revenues mainly result from the partial or entire recognition of the proceeds received pursuant to the agreements with AstraZeneca and Sanofi. They are recognized when the entity's performance obligation is met. They are recognized at a point in time or spread over time according to the percentage of completion of the work that the Company is committed to carry out under these agreements. The evolution for the first half of 2026 is mainly due to: (i) Since December 31, 2025, the revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements for monalizumab has been fully recognized. Therefore, no revenue is recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to €0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. (ii) No revenue related to IPH5201 were generated during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as during the six months ended June 30, 2025. As a reminder, the revenue is related to the milestone payment received from AstraZeneca following the signature on June 1, 2022 of an amendment to the initial contract signed in October 2018. This amendment sets the terms of the collaboration following AstraZeneca’s decision to advance IPH5201 to a Phase 2 study.The Company will conduct the study. Both parties will share the external cost related to the study and incurred by the Company and AstraZeneca will provide products necessary to conduct the clinical trial.Revenue from invoicing of research and development costs for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was 0.4 million compared to 0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, or a decrease of (0.5) million. (iii) No revenue were generated for the license and collaboration agreement signed with Sanofi in 2016 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as well as for the six months ended June 30, 2025. On April 23, 2025, the Company announced that, 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 regained the rights to SAR’579/IPH6101 in July 2025. Data from the Sanofi-led Phase 1/2 study and Phase 2 preliminary dose expansion of the trial have been transferred to Innate. Otherwise, Sanofi announced deprioritization of SAR’514, a trifunctional anti-BCMA NK-cell engager and retains exclusive development and commercialization rights, and the license terms remain unchanged. It has not triggered any milestone payments as of June 30, 2026. (iiii) Revenue related to the research collaboration and licensing agreement signed with Sanofi in 2022 remained constant over the period, with revenue amounting to €0.2 million for the first half of 2026, as for the first half of 2025. As previously disclosed, In December 2022, the Company entered into a research collaboration and license agreement with Genzyme Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sanofi ("Sanofi"), under which the Company granted Sanofi an exclusive license to Innate’s B7-H3 ANKET® program and options for two additional targets.In March 2023, Innate Pharma received an upfront payment of €25 million under its research, collaboration and license agreement with Sanofi. This amount consisted of €18.5 million relating to the exclusive license to the B7-H3 technology, which was recognized in profit or loss in June 2023; €1.5 million relating to research activities to be performed over a three-year period, recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis through November 2026; and €5 million relating to the two additional license options, recognized as contract liabilities until their expiration or until the options are exercised.In December 2023, Sanofi exercised one of its license options for an ANKET® program, resulting in the recognition of €2.5 million in revenue and the payment of a €15 million milestone, of which €13.3 million related to the license was recognized immediately in revenue and €1.7 million related to research activities. These research activities were discontinued following the termination of the agreement in October 2024, which led to the full recognition of the €1.7 million in revenue in 2024. As a result, Innate regained the rights to the IPH67 program, while Sanofi retains a right to compensation on any potential future revenues.On January 24, 2026, following the expiration of the deadline to exercise the license option on an identified target, the revenue of €2.5 million has been fully recognized. Sanofi still has a right on a non-exclusive license option for an additional target, exercisable up to January 24, 2028. This option is not linked with any other revenue. Government financing for research expenditures Government financing for research expenditures decreased by €0.6 million, or 20.1%, to €2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to €3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This change is mainly due to a €0.8 million decrease in the research tax credit due to a decrease in eligible subcontracting expenses. Operating expenses The table below presents our operating expenses for the six months periods ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025: Research and development expenses Research and development ("R&D") expenses decreased by €3.6 million, or 17.8%, to €16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to €20.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, representing a total of 68.4% and 67.8% of the total operating expenses, respectively. R&D expenses include direct R&D expenses (subcontracting costs and consumables), depreciation and amortization, personnel expenses and other expenses. Direct R&D expenses decreased by €1.5 million, or 15.3%, to €8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to €9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This variation is mainly explained by a €1.0 million decrease in expenses related to the phasing of studies (maturity of clinical studies on lacutamab and IPH5201, discontinuation of preclinical studies partially offset by the ramp-up of IPH4502, our antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)). The change in expenses related to clinical programs is attributable to: (i) an increase of €0.5 million for IPH4502, related to the completion of patient enrollment in the dose-escalation phase of the Phase 1 study; (ii) a decrease of €0.5 million for the lacutamab program, as clinical studies are reaching completion; (iii) a decrease of €1.0 million in the IPH5201 program, as recruitment for Cohort 2 was less advanced than that for Cohort 1 whose recruitment was finalized in the first half of 2025. Additionally, as of June 30, 2026, collaboration liabilities related to monalizumab and the agreements signed with AstraZeneca in April 2015, October 2018, and September 2020 amounted to €39.6 million, as compared to collaborations liabilities to €38.2 million as of December 31, 2025. This €1.4 million increase mainly results from due to exchange rate fluctuations observed during the period for the euro-dollar exchange rate. Personnel and other expenses allocated to R&D decreased by €2.2 million, or 20.0%, to €8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to an amount of €10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 due to a reduction in personnel expenses of €2.7 million, resulting from a reduction in the R&D workforce (from 133 to 92 employees), partially offset by a €0.7 million increase in other expenses, corresponding to a provision for risks and charges.. General and administrative expenses General and administrative expenses decreased by €2.0 million, or 20.2%, to €7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to general and administrative expenses of €9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. General and administrative expenses represented a total of 31.6% and 32.2% of the total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. Personnel expenses includes the compensation paid to our employees. They amounted €3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to €4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease of €1.5 million is primarily due to employees reduction (29 employees for the six months ended June 30, 2026 vs. 42 for the six months ended June 30, 2025). Non-scientific and consulting fees mainly consist of fees for statutory auditors, accountants, legal advisors, and recruitment. This item decreased by €0.2 million, or 15.2%, to €1.2 million for the first half of 2025, compared to €1.4 million for the first half of 2024. The decrease is mainly due to the suspension of the "At the Market" program on the Nasdaq. Other expenses decreased by €0.2 million, primarily in connection with the Director & Officer (D&O) insurance policy. Financial income (loss), net We recognized a net financial loss of €0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to €4.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025. This variance of €2.5 million mainly results from (i) a favorable variation in net foreign exchange gain increasing by €(3.9) million for the first half of 2026 with its favorable impact on the collaboration liabilities recorded during the first half of 2026 in connection with the change in the dollar exchange rate and (ii) an unfavorable variation of €0.9 million in income resulting from financial assets and fair value revaluation due to an unfavorable effect of investment rates recorded on the financial markets. Balance sheet items Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and non-current financial assets amounted to €21.4 million as of June 30, 2026, as compared to €44.8 million as of December 31, 2025. Net cash as of June 30, 2026 amounted to €0.1 million (€25.5 million as of December 31, 2025). Net cash is equal to cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments less current financial liabilities. The Company also has bank borrowings of €20.1m, including €12.8m of State Guaranteed Loans ("Prêts Garantis par l’Etat") as of June 30, 2026 and €7.3m loans subscribed with Société Générale for the construction of its head office as well as €0.1m of lease liabilities. The other key balance sheet items as of June 30, 2026 are: A receivable of €4.1 million from the French State, including €2.5 million for the research tax credit for the first half of 2026 and €1.6 million for VAT credits for the first half of 2026. Advances granted to suppliers to primarily finance ongoing clinical activities, amounting to €2.3 million. Collaboration debt of €39.6 million (of which €30.6 million is recorded as "Collaboration Debt – Non-Current Part"), corresponding to the Company’s commitment to co-financing the monalizumab program with AstraZeneca. Shareholders’ equity amounting to (40.5) million euros, including the net loss for the first half of 2026 of 19.6 million euros. Cash-flow items As of June 30, 2026, cash and cash equivalents amounted to €6.5 million, compared to €28.1 million as of December 31, 2025, corresponding in a decrease of €21.6 million. The net cash flow used during the period under review mainly results from the following: Net cash flow generated from operating activities of €21.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to net cash flows used by operating activities of €31.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. Net cash flow from operating activities for the first half of 2026 includes the receipt of the Research Tax Credit (CIR) due for fiscal year 2025, amounting to €6.2 million. Excluding this receipt, cash flow from operating activities for the first half of 2026 is down by €3.9 million compared to the first half of 2025. This is primarily due to lower net payments to suppliers related to reduced operating expenses and changes in collaboration debt. Net cash flow from investing activities of €2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 mainly composed of a disposal of current financial instruments to meet cash requirements. Net cash flow used in investing activities of €7.0 million for the first half of 2025 was mainly comprised of a disposal of a current financial instrument and reinvested up to 4.0 million euros in term deposits in order to secure and diversify investments. Net cash flow in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was €2.4 million as compared to net cash flow used in financing activities of €10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, consumptions mainly related to repayments of financial liabilities for €2,4 million (€4,4 million for the six month ended June 30, 2025) as the company benefited from a deferral of loan repayments related to the second quarter of 2026 for an amount of €2.1 million. As a reminder, the first 2025 semester cash flow included the investment for a net amount of €14,9 million received from Sanofi. Post period events On August 10, 2026, Innate Pharma S.A. and Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ) (Sobi®) announced that they have entered a strategic partnership. Under the terms of the agreement, Sobi will pay Innate Pharma USD 75 million, payable on closing. Innate will be eligible to receive up to a further USD 40 million in respect of near-term development milestones connected to Sézary syndrome. Additionally, Innate will be eligible to receive up to USD 465 million related to the option for Sobi to get full development rights and to future regulatory and commercial milestones. Innate will be eligible to receive tiered double-digit royalties on net sales. This partnership will enable initiation of the TELLOMAK-3 confirmatory Phase 3 study in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), a key step toward filing for accelerated approval of lacutamab in Sézary syndrome, a subtype of CTCL. Under the agreement, Innate will conduct the TELLOMAK-3 Phase 3 confirmatory trial in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, supporting a planned accelerated approval filing in Sézary syndrome. The planned TELLOMAK-3 study will subsequently support applications for full approvals in key jurisdictions in Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, the most common subtype. Sobi will receive exclusive global rights to commercialize lacutamab upon potential accelerated approval and will be eligible to assume full global development rights following positive Phase 3 results.

Lacutamab’s phase III TELLOMAK-3 trial has begun, with enrollment expected in Q1 2027 and a potential accelerated-approval filing for Sézary syndrome planned for the second half of 2027. Sobi holds potential global commercialization and development rights under the agreement. The company expects key clinical updates in the second half of 2026, including a PACIFIC-9 phase III readout for monalizumab and initial phase I data for IPH4502, an antibody-drug conjugate that has shown preliminary responses in several heavily pretreated solid-tumor populations. Innate Pharma (NASDAQ:IPHA) said its first-half 2026 developments included the closing of a strategic partnership with Sobi for lacutamab, completion of dose-escalation enrollment for IPH4502, and completed enrollment in the PACIFIC-9 phase III study of monalizumab. Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Dickinson said the Sobi transaction became effective following its closing and included a $75 million upfront payment. Combined with a €30 million equity financing, the company expects the funding to extend its projected cash runway through the end of the first quarter of 2028. → Could Dave & Buster’s Capitulation Signal the Bottom Is Finally In? Lacutamab, Innate’s anti-KIR3DL2 antibody, is being developed for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. The company said it has initiated the TELLOMAK-3 confirmatory phase III trial, with the first patient expected to be enrolled in the first quarter of 2027. The study includes a confirmatory cohort in Sézary syndrome and a registrational cohort in mycosis fungoides, according to Chief Medical Officer Markus Jensen. Innate plans to seek accelerated approval in Sézary syndrome in the second half of 2027 based on existing phase II TELLOMAK data once the phase III study is underway. → SpaceX Defies Gravity With a Nasdaq-100 Double-Weighting Boost Jensen said lacutamab has received FDA Breakthrough Therapy designation for relapsed or refractory Sézary syndrome, as well as FDA Fast Track designation, European Medicines Agency PRIME designation, and orphan-drug designations in the U.S. and Europe. Under the Sobi agreement, Innate will conduct the phase III trial and file for potential accelerated approval. If the product receives accelerated approval, Sobi would receive exclusive global commercialization rights. Following positive phase III results, Sobi could obtain full global development rights. $75 million upfront payment Up to $40 million in near-term Sézary syndrome milestones Up to an additional $465 million tied to development-rights options and future regulatory and commercial milestones Tiered double-digit royalties on future net sales → Running on Empty: 3 Energy Plays for Europe's Deep Freeze During the question-and-answer session, Dickinson said the company expects lacutamab could be included in National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines after a potential accelerated approval. He said Innate expects physicians may use the treatment off-label in earlier lines of therapy and in mycosis fungoides, though the initial accelerated approval filing would be for Sézary syndrome. Dickinson also said pricing research conducted with U.S. payers indicated potential annual pricing of between €500,000 and €625,000 per patient, supported by the company’s clinical data and a potential NCCN listing. Innate completed phase I dose escalation and cohort-enrichment enrollment for IPH4502, its Nectin-4 exatecan antibody-drug conjugate for advanced solid tumors. The company reported preliminary antitumor activity, including objective responses in heavily pretreated patients with urothelial cancer after prior enfortumab vedotin treatment, as well as in non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck cancer. The company said it has observed a favorable safety profile to date, including limited hematological toxicity. Jensen said approximately 15 patients have been enrolled in each of the post-enfortumab vedotin urothelial cancer and head and neck cancer cohorts, while enrollment in the non-small cell lung cancer cohort was lower. Management attributed the observed safety profile in part to the molecule’s stable proprietary linker, which it said may limit the release of free payload associated with systemic toxicity in some antibody-drug conjugates. Innate plans to present initial phase I dose-escalation data at the EORTC-NCI-AACR meeting in Barcelona in November. Management referenced November 18 during prepared remarks, while Jensen referenced November 26 during his presentation. Jensen said the dataset spans 11 indications and 76 patients and is expected to provide both safety and response information to guide next development steps. Dickinson said the recent equity financing should allow Innate to move into dose optimization, while expansion into multiple additional tumor types could require further funding. Enrollment has been completed in PACIFIC-9, a randomized phase III trial of monalizumab in unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer. The study enrolled 1,051 patients who had not progressed following definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy. PACIFIC-9 compares durvalumab plus oleclumab, durvalumab plus monalizumab, and durvalumab plus placebo, with progression-free survival as the primary endpoint. Innate continues to expect a phase III readout during the second half of 2026. Chief Operating Officer Yannis Morel said Innate has received €450 million to date under its monalizumab partnership with AstraZeneca. The agreement also includes up to €825 million in additional potential milestones, double-digit royalties outside Europe, and 50% profit sharing in Europe. Chief Financial Officer Frédéric Lombard said Innate had €21.4 million in cash equivalents and financial assets as of June 30, 2026. That balance excluded the Sobi upfront payment, which the company valued at approximately €65 million, and proceeds from the equity offering. The €30 million offering is expected to generate approximately €28 million in net proceeds. Innate said the funds are intended to support continued IPH4502 clinical development, advancement of its preclinical antibody-drug conjugate portfolio, and general corporate purposes. Innate Pharma SA is a biotechnology company headquartered in Marseille, France, focused on developing immunotherapies for cancer.

FY2026 Q2 earnings call transcript
Hello, everyone. Thank you for joining us and welcome to the Innate Pharma first half 2026 business update and financial results. After today's prepared remarks, we will host a question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star one again. I will now hand the conference over to Stéphanie Cornen, Vice President, Investor Relations, Communication, and Commercial. Stephanie, please go ahead.
Good morning and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us for Innate Pharma's first half 2026 business update and financial results conference call. The press release and today's presentation are both available on the IR section of our website. Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that today's presentation includes forward-looking statements based on current expectation. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. To briefly cover today's agenda, our CEO, Jonathan Dickinson, will begin with a strategic overview and outlook. Markus Jensen, our Chief Medical Officer, and Yannis Morel, our Chief Operating Officer, will then take us through updates on lacutamab, IPH4502, monalizumab, and our preclinical ADC pipeline. Frédéric Lombard, our Chief Financial Officer, will then review our financial results. Jonathan will return for our upcoming catalysts and closing remarks before we open the call for Q&A.
With that, I will now hand it over to Jonathan.
Thank you, Stephanie. Good morning to those joining from the U.S., and good afternoon to our European participants. Turning to slide five. The first half of 2026, together with developments since the end of the period, has been marked by important progress across our focused portfolio. Starting with lacutamab. In August, we announced our strategic partnership with Sobi to advance the program in T-cell lymphoma. As announced yesterday, that partnership is now effective following the closing of the deal, and the TELLOMAK-3 phase III has been initiated. We are targeting the first patient in the study in Q1 2027 as we work toward a filing for accelerated approval in Sézary syndrome in H2 2027.
For IPH4502, as announced in July, we completed phase I dose escalation and cohort enrichment enrollment and have seen preliminary anti-tumor activity, including objective responses in post-enfortumab vedotin urothelial cancer, as well as in non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck cancer with a favorable safety profile observed to date. We will share initial phase I dose escalation data at the EORTC-NCI-AACR meeting on November 18, 2026, in Barcelona. Turning to monalizumab. Enrollment in the PACIFIC-9 phase III study has been completed, and we continue to expect the phase III readout in the second half of 2026. Financially, our position has been strengthened by the $75 million Sobi upfront payment associated with the closing of the deal and the $30 million equity financing. Together, these are expected to extend our projected cash runway through the end of the first quarter of 2028.
Taken together, we believe these developments position Innate for several important catalysts in the second half of 2026. Let me start with lacutamab. Lacutamab is our anti-KIR3DL2 antibody being developed in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma or CTCL. Turning to slide seven. As I mentioned, in August, we announced a strategic partnership with Sobi to license lacutamab in T-cell lymphoma. The transaction has now closed. TELLOMAK-3, our confirmatory phase III study in CTCL, has been initiated with the first patient expected in the first quarter of 2027. Innate will conduct the phase III study, and we will file for accelerated approval in Sézary syndrome based on the existing phase II TELLOMAK data. Upon the potential accelerated approval, Sobi will receive exclusive global rights to commercialize lacutamab. Following positive phase III results, Sobi will be eligible to obtain full global development rights.
Under the terms of the agreement, the transaction includes a $75 million upfront payment, up to $40 million in near-term milestones connected to Sézary syndrome, and up to an additional $465 million related to Sobi's option to obtain full development rights and future regulatory and commercial milestones. The agreement also includes tiered double-digit royalties on future net sales. I'll now hand it over to Markus to review the regulatory and development path forward. Markus.
Thank you, Jonathan. Lacutamab is now progressing towards phase III TELLOMAK initiation endpoint accelerated approval filing. From a regulatory and development perspective, the path forward is well-defined. We have FDA clearance to proceed with TELLOMAK-3, which now has been initiated with the first patient expected in the first quarter 2027. The study includes a confirmatory cohort in Sézary syndrome and a registrational cohort in Recurrens spongiosis. The existing phase II TELLOMAK data are intended to support an accelerated approval filing in Sézary syndrome once TELLOMAK-3 is underway, with the filing currently planned for the second half of 2027. As a reminder, lacutamab has received Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA for relapsed or refractory Sézary syndrome, as well as Fast Track designation from the FDA, PRIME designation from the EMA, and an orphan drug status in both U.S. and Europe.
With the regulatory pathway established and the Sobi partnership now effective, our focus is on advancing TELLOMAK-3 towards first patient enrollment first quarter 2027. Turn the slide, please. I now move to IPH4502, our differentiated Nectin-4 exatecan ADC, which is in phase I clinical development for advanced solid tumors. IPH4502 was designed to address some of the key limitations of the first generation of Nectin-4 ADCs. The molecule combines an exatecan topoisomerase I payload with our proprietary stable linker and a high-affinity Nectin-4 antibody that binds non-overlapping epitope compared with enfortumab vedotin. We believe these features provide an important point of differentiation as the Nectin-4 ADC landscape continues to evolve.
Importantly, we are now beginning to see that profile translate clinically and have observed preliminary antitumor activity with objective responses in heavily pretreated patients, including patients with urothelial cancer following prior enfortumab vedotin treatment, as well as in non-small cell lung cancer, head and neck cancer. The safety profile observed to date has been favorable with limited hematological toxicity. We completed dose escalation in July and are broadly tracking in line with our expectations across expansion cohorts, with approximately 15 patients enrolled in both post-EV urothelial cancer, head and neck cancer, and somewhat lower enrollment in non-small cell lung cancer cohort. Data cleaning is ongoing, and we look forward to presenting the initial phase I dose escalation data set at the EORTC-NCI-AACR Symposium on November 18, 2026. Next slide, please. Our area of particular interest for IPH4502 is urothelial cancer following prior EV treatment.
While EV plus pembrolizumab has significantly changed the treatment landscape, most patients progress within two years, and there remains no established second-line standard treatment after progression of this regimen. Against that backdrop, the preliminary activity we have observed with IPH4502 in heavily pretreated post-EV patients, including objective responses, is encouraging. These remain early phase I observations, and the upcoming data set will help us to determine how to best advance the program. Slide 12, please. I now move forward to monalizumab, which is our NKG2A antibody, being co-developed with AstraZeneca in non-small cell lung cancer. PACIFIC-9 is a randomized phase III trial with unresectable Stage three non-small cell lung cancer. Patients who have not progressed following a definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Study enrolled 1,051 patients and compares durvalumab plus atezolizumab, durvalumab plus monalizumab, and durvalumab plus placebo as a control with progression-free survival as the primary endpoint.
The program is supported by three earlier phase II studies in non-small cell lung cancer, including COAST, NeoCOAST, and NeoCOAST-2. With enrollment complete, phase III data remain expected in the second half of 2026. I now hand over to Yannis to briefly review the economics of our partnership with AstraZeneca.
Thank you, Markus. As a reminder, under our monalizumab partnership with AstraZeneca, we have received up to date EUR 450 million. The additional potential milestone in the agreement are up to EUR 825 million, together with double-digit royalties outside Europe and 50% profit sharing in Europe. Turning to slide 15, I'll move now to our next generation ADC pipeline. Beyond IPH4502, we are using our internal capabilities and technology to build a broad portfolio of differentiated ADC candidates. Turning to slide 16. Leveraging our antibody discovery and engineering expertise, we have built a comprehensive ADC platform to develop a portfolio of next generation ADCs designed to overcome the limitation of the current ones. Building on IPH4502 linker, which stability in patients is demonstrated by our emerging clinical data, we are developing a drug candidate portfolio around three approaches.
First, dual targeted bispecific ADCs to address tumor antigen heterogeneity and to expand addressable indication compared to single tumor antigen targeting. Second, bispecific ADCs with enhanced internalization to unlock the activity in antigen low expressing tumors. Finally, dual payload ADCs using complementary mechanism of action to overcome resistance. I'll now hand over to Frédéric for our financial results.
Thank you, Yannis. I'll now provide a brief overview of our financial position for the first half of 2026. Turning to slide 18. As of June 30, 2026, our cash equivalent and financial assets were amounting for EUR 21.4 million. That balance does not include the $75 million Sobi up-front payment, equivalent to EUR 65 million, nor the proceeds from the EUR 30 million equity offering. The offering represents EUR 30 million on gross proceed or approximately EUR 28 million in expected net proceeds. The primary use of proceeds is the continued clinical development of IPH4502, the advancement of our preclinical ADC portfolio, and as well as general corporate purposes. Together with the Sobi up-front payment, these proceeds are expected to extend our cash runway through the end of the first quarter of 2028. I now hand over to Jonathan.
Thank you, Frédéric. Moving to slide 20, and turning to our key catalysts for the remainder of 2026. For lacutamab, following closing of the strategic partnership with Sobi, TELLOMAK-3 has been initiated, with the first patient planned for the first quarter of 2027, followed by a planned filing for accelerated approval in the second half of 2027. For IPH4502, dose escalation enrollment is complete, with preliminary antitumor activity and a favorable safety profile observed to date. We will report initial phase I dose escalation data at the EORTC-NCI-AACR meeting on November 18, 2026. For monalizumab, PACIFIC-9 enrollment is complete, with the phase III readout expected in the second half of this year. We have three important near-term catalysts across our focused portfolio. Together with a strengthened financial position that supports our continued execution of these priorities.
With that, operator, we are ready to open the call for questions.
We will now begin the question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star one again. We ask that you pick up your handset when asking a question to allow for optimum sound quality. If you are muted locally, please remember to unmute your device. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Daina Graybosch with Leerink Partners. Your line is open, Daina. Please go ahead.
Good morning, everyone. Congrats on the updates. Just one for me. You got Bill on for Daina. We have seen the prior exatecan-based ADC show some pretty good activity in the post Padcev setting, but it did have some pretty high heme toxicities. Can you talk about IPH4502 stable linker design and what gives you confidence you will not see the same sort of issues? Thank you.
Thank you for the question. Maybe Yannis, you can take that one.
Yeah, maybe I can start and let Markus comment. We have worked on the design of the linker, and based on what we have seen at ASCO, published by others with their own linker. It seemed that the stability of our linker that we have seen in preclinical models, including in non-human primates, seems to be translated into the human situation, leading to a very limited release of a free payload, which is one of the reason of the systemic pathological toxicity of some ADCs.
What we can add is the Lilly data that have been released recently actually state that based on their own data they have seen in the trial. So the instable linker was used as an explanation for the hematologic toxicity in this data set.
Great. Thank you.
Your next question comes from the line of Jeet Mukherjee with BTIG. Your line is open, Jeet. Please go ahead.
Great. Good morning, and thanks for taking the question. Pending an accelerated approval there, could you speak to the potential for frontline off-label use for lacutamab in Sézary syndrome, given that seems to be the case with mogamulizumab? And I have a follow-up question.
Yeah. Maybe I will take that question, Jeet. Our expectation is that lacutamab will be listed in the NCCN guidelines following the accelerated approval for both Sézary syndrome and for mycosis fungoides. I think with that listing, it seems to leave it open for physicians to be able to use the product across the different lines of therapy. Our expectation, based on the safety profile of lacutamab, which is pretty benign, we expect that you will see some off-label usage in the first-line setting. I think there's an expectation you will see that. And also, despite the fact that the accelerated approval will be in Sézary syndrome, there will also be an expectation based on the potential listing in the NCCN guidelines for mycosis fungoides that you will also see usage in MF. Hopefully that answers your question.
Great. Appreciate that. Maybe just two other quick follow-ups. Just any initial thoughts on pricing? Do you think you could price at a premium to mogamulizumab? And then separately on PACIFIC-9, in terms of just the update format, anticipate perhaps a press release at minimum from AstraZeneca. But will Innate have their own press release and analyst call as well? Thank you.
Yeah. In terms of pricing, we have completed pricing research in the U.S., which was conducted by ZS Associates. And what we were able to establish with U.S. payers was that we can price lacutamab between EUR 500,000 and EUR 625,000 per patient per annum. And that would be supported by our clinical data and the NCCN listing. There is an expectation here that you would be able to achieve premium pricing, particularly in an indication like Sézary syndrome with a relatively low incidence. And then be able to carry that forward into the mycosis fungoides indication, which is a larger indication, but still an orphan disease. So that's pricing. And then with respect to PACIFIC-9, you're correct. The expectation is that there will be a press release from AstraZeneca when the results are available.
We would also look to press release that as well and potentially do some analyst calls following the availability of that primary endpoint data.
Great. Thank you.
Hopefully that answers the question.
The next question will be read by Stéphanie Cornen. Stephanie, please go ahead.
Yes. We have a question from Clémence Thiers from Stifel. The first question is, as dose escalation and cohort expansion enrollment are now complete, should we expect the initial ENA data set to be primarily a safety pharmacology update or mature enough to inform subsequent development decision?
Markus, maybe you can take that question.
The question is almost the answer. This is out of 11 different indications and 76 patients. We are expecting to see relevant and informative safety data. We are also expecting response data from patients, and this will inform our next steps. We need to fully run the tables, and we will review and disclose that as proposed on the ENA meeting.
Thank you. There is another question from Clémence. With the strengthened balance sheet following the recent financing, how far along the development path could you advance IPH4502 on your own?
Maybe I can take that. I think you are all aware that we did a small equity raise of EUR 30 million a couple of weeks ago. The rationale behind that equity raise was to be able to progress seamlessly into the next steps for IPH4502. We are well-positioned now to be able to move into the next steps, whatever that will be. The data will dictate what that is, whether it is dose optimization. And we are equipped to be able to do that. If we would need to broaden the program, if the data supports going to potentially additional tumor types, then that would require additional funding to be able to conduct multiple dose optimizations across different tumor types. But at least for the initial steps, we are funded to be able to take those steps and take the product forward seamlessly into dose optimization.
Hopefully that answers the question again.
We have now reached the end of the Q&A session. I will turn the call back to Jonathan Dickinson, CEO, for closing remarks.
Thank you very much, everybody, for joining us today for our update following our H1 results. We look forward to updating you as we progress through the important catalysts that we outlined today, which come across the remainder of the year. Thank you for your time, and see you soon.
This concludes today's call. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect.

Innate Pharma SA (NASDAQ:IPHA) secured a $30 million equity raise, extending its projected cash runway through Q1 2028. The strategic partnership with SOBI, including a $75 million upfront payment and up to $40 million in near-term milestones, enables the initiation of the TELAMAC-3 phase 3 study for lacutamab. IPH 4502, a second-generation Nectin-4 ADC, has shown preliminary clinical activity in post-PADCEF urothelial cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and head and neck cancer, with a favorable safety profile. The proprietary linker of IPH 4502 has demonstrated stability in patients, supporting the hypothesis of minimized payload release into circulation. The upcoming Pacific-9 study readout for monalizumab, with up to $825 million in potential milestones and a 50% profit share in Europe, represents a significant future value opportunity. The company is advancing a preclinical ADC portfolio with innovative approaches, including bispecific ADCs and dual-payload ADCs, to address tumor heterogeneity and resistance. The $30 million equity raise may dilute existing shareholders, and the company did not provide specific details on the number of patients or follow-up data for IPH 4502 in each indication. The TELAMAC-3 study initiation is subject to conditions, including antitrust clearance, which could delay the timeline.

Innate Pharma SA (NASDAQ:IPHA) secured a $30 million equity raise, extending its projected cash runway through Q1 2028. The strategic partnership with SOBI, including a $75 million upfront payment and up to $40 million in near-term milestones, enables the initiation of the TELAMAC-3 phase 3 study for lacutamab. IPH 4502, a second-generation Nectin-4 ADC, has shown preliminary clinical activity in post-PADCEF urothelial cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and head and neck cancer, with a favorable safety profile. The proprietary linker of IPH 4502 has demonstrated stability in patients, supporting the hypothesis of minimized payload release into circulation. The upcoming Pacific-9 study readout for monalizumab, with up to $825 million in potential milestones and a 50% profit share in Europe, represents a significant future value opportunity. The company is advancing a preclinical ADC portfolio with innovative approaches, including bispecific ADCs and dual-payload ADCs, to address tumor heterogeneity and resistance. The $30 million equity raise may dilute existing shareholders, and the company did not provide specific details on the number of patients or follow-up data for IPH 4502 in each indication. The TELAMAC-3 study initiation is subject to conditions, including antitrust clearance, which could delay the timeline. The company has not yet presented the full data set for IPH 4502, and the next development steps are dependent on the results, which are not yet available. The Pacific-9 study primary completion date is not until the end of September, with data expected by year end, leaving uncertainty about the outcome and potential value realization. The company's ability to progress its preclinical ADC portfolio is contingent on the success of IPH 4502, and the timeline for communicating on these programs is not until 2027, indicating a long wait for potential catalysts. The CEO noted that the company is in a competitive space for Nectin-4 ADCs, and the ambiguity around Lilly's program could pose competitive risks. Q: What is the rationale behind the $30 million equity raise, and how does it fit with the recent Sobi partnership?A: Jonathan Dickinson, CEO, explained that the raise is designed to allow seamless progression of IPH 4502 into next development steps following the presentation of dose-escalation data later this year, avoiding a future financing gap. It also funds the advancement of the preclinical ADC portfolio. The Sobi partnership, which provides a $75 million upfront at closing, extends the projected cash runway through Q1 2028, while this raise ensures momentum in the competitive Nectin-4 ADC space. Q: Can you provide more guidance on the number of patients and follow-up for IPH 4502 in the highlighted indications (post-PADCEF bladder, head and neck, and lung)?A: Jonathan Dickinson, CEO, stated that while specific patient numbers per indication were not disclosed, the company expects 10-15 patients at go-forward pharmacological doses in each indication. Since the last patients were recruited in mid-July, follow-up scans are needed, pushing the efficacy data presentation to a medical conference later in the year, which he noted is not ESMO. Q: Given recent Nectin-4 ADC readouts with varying therapeutic indices, why should we be excited about IPH 4502's differentiation?A: Jonathan Dickinson, CEO, highlighted that IPH 4502's proprietary linker benchmarks with the best in the field, minimizing hematological toxicity. The company has achieved dosing levels comparable to other Topo1-based ADCs, and the Lilly dataset validated the approach of targeting Nectin-4 post-PADCEF. Crucially, all urothelial cancer patients in the study had prior PADCEF and most also received Pembro, so any observed activity in this heavily pre-treated, progressing population is considered genuine and encouraging. Q: Is the $30 million raise a bridging funding between now and the Sobi close, or is it for other purposes?A: Jonathan Dickinson, CEO, clarified that the raise is primarily to fund the next steps for IPH 4502 and the preclinical ADC portfolio, not as a bridge. The goal is to present data and immediately proceed with development without interruption. He emphasized the competitive landscape, noting that with Lilly's program facing ambiguity, Innate is close to the front of the pack for Western-based Nectin-4 ADCs and wants to maintain speed. Q: When will we get a full picture of IPH 4502's development pathway and see the pipeline molecules?A: Jonathan Dickinson, CEO, stated that the full data set for IPH 4502 will be presented at a medical conference later in 2026, which will dictate the next tumor types to pursue. While activity has been seen in urothelial, head and neck, and non-small cell lung cancer, the complete data will validate these as candidates. For the preclinical ADC portfolio, the company expects to start communicating on those aspects sometime in 2027. Q: Are there expansion opportunities for monalizumab outside of oncology, such as in fibrosis indications like IPF?A: Jonathan Dickinson, CEO, acknowledged the recent publication highlighting monalizumab's potential in fibrosis but stated the company is currently focused on the PACIFIC-9 readout in non-small cell lung cancer, which is the critical gating factor. He reminded that AstraZeneca's license covers oncology indications only, so a fibrosis indication would be outside the collaboration agreement. The company will evaluate other opportunities after seeing PACIFIC-9 results. Q: What would be due upfront to Innate if PACIFIC-9 is positive?A: Jonathan Dickinson, CEO, did not disclose the specific schedule of milestones but reminded that there are up to $400 million in development and regulatory milestones tied to the AstraZeneca collaboration. He noted these follow standard criteria for such deals, implying the amounts are predictable based on typical industry structures. Q: Can you elaborate on the strategic agenda and how the Sobi partnership enables the TELAMAC-3 study?A: Jonathan Dickinson, CEO, reiterated that the Sobi partnership, announced earlier in the week, allows initiation of the TELAMAC-3 confirmatory phase 3 study in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Innate will continue to run the study leveraging its expertise. At closing, Sobi pays $75 million upfront plus up to $40 million in near-term milestones tied to Sezary syndrome accelerated approval, with an additional $465 million in opt-in, regulatory, and commercial milestones plus double-digit royalties.

Dickinson said the company has received FDA clearance to proceed with TELLOMAK-3, a confirmatory Phase 3 trial, and expects to initiate the study in the second half of 2026, subject to financing. Chief Medical Officer Sonia Quaratino said prior Phase 2 TELLOMAK data showed “clinically meaningful and durable activity” in both mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, along with quality-of-life improvement and a favorable safety and tolerability profile. Lacutamab has received FDA breakthrough therapy designation in relapsed or refractory Sézary syndrome, as well as FDA fast track designation, EMA PRIME designation and orphan drug status in the U.S. and Europe. → MercadoLibre Boldly Invests in Growth: Discount Deepens TELLOMAK-3 is planned as an open-label, multicenter, randomized comparative study in two cohorts of patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma who have failed at least one prior systemic therapy. In Sézary syndrome, patients who have failed at least one prior systemic therapy, including mogamulizumab, will be randomized to lacutamab or romidepsin. In mycosis fungoides, patients will be randomized to lacutamab or mogamulizumab. The primary endpoint in both cohorts is progression-free survival assessed by blinded independent central review. Stéphanie Cornen, vice president of investor relations, communication and commercial strategy, said Innate sees a focused commercial opportunity because most patients are treated in specialized academic centers. She cited estimates of about 300 incident Sézary syndrome patients per year and around 1,000 prevalent patients in the U.S., along with about 3,000 incident mycosis fungoides patients per year and prevalence of about 12,000 patients. → MP Materials Is Quietly Building a Rare Earth Powerhouse Cornen said Innate sees a stepwise commercial strategy, beginning with an initial opportunity of up to EUR 150 million in Sézary syndrome and expanding to more than EUR 500 million across Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides in the second-line setting. During the question-and-answer session, Dickinson said Innate is in advanced discussions regarding non-dilutive financing for lacutamab, including potential business development partnerships or royalty financing structures. Chief Operating Officer Yannis Morel said the company is confident it can execute an arrangement before the third quarter. Innate also highlighted progress with IPH4502, its Nectin-4 exatecan antibody-drug conjugate being evaluated in a Phase 1 study in advanced solid tumors. Dickinson said the study is approaching completion of enrollment in the dose-escalation phase and backfill cohorts, and the company continues to observe preliminary antitumor activity in heavily pretreated patients, including urothelial cancer patients previously treated with enfortumab vedotin, marketed as PADCEV. Morel described IPH4502 as designed to address limitations of first-generation Nectin-4 ADCs. He said the antibody binds to a distinct, non-overlapping epitope versus enfortumab on Nectin-4 and uses a stable, cleavable, hydrophilic linker with an exatecan payload. Morel said the payload is a topoisomerase I inhibitor with bystander activity and is not sensitive to resistance mechanisms related to MMAE, the payload used in enfortumab vedotin. Quaratino said the first-in-human study began in January 2025 at specialized cancer sites in the U.S. and France. She said the dose-escalation portion and cohort enrichment are nearing completion, the maximum tolerated dose has been reached and Innate has defined a “clear therapeutic window” with a favorable safety profile to date. Quaratino said the company sees a therapeutic gap in bladder cancer after progression on enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab. She noted that, as of 2026, there is no single established gold standard for second-line treatment after that regimen, and said IPH4502 may be positioned to address that unmet need. In response to analyst questions, Quaratino said Innate expects to provide more detail on dose levels and potential go-forward indications at a clinical conference later this year. Dickinson said the data presentation is expected in the second half of the year and should include urothelial cancer data and next steps for the program. Innate also reviewed two programs partnered with AstraZeneca: monalizumab and IPH5201. Monalizumab, an anti-NKG2A monoclonal antibody, is being evaluated in PACIFIC-9, a Phase 3 randomized, double-blind study in unresectable stage 3 non-small cell lung cancer in patients who have not progressed after definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Quaratino said enrollment has been completed and data are expected in the second half of 2026. Morel said the monalizumab agreement includes up to EUR 1.275 billion in milestones, of which Innate has received EUR 450 million and remains eligible for EUR 825 million. If approved, AstraZeneca would book sales, while Innate would receive double-digit royalties in the U.S. and the rest of the world. In Europe, Innate is contributing 30% of Phase 3 trial funding and would receive 50% of profit, with an option to co-promote. IPH5201, an anti-CD39 antibody, is being studied in the MATISSE Phase 2 trial in combination with durvalumab and neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy in resectable non-small cell lung cancer. Quaratino said preplanned interim data presented at the AACR Annual Meeting showed a 35.7% pathological complete response rate in patients with PD-L1 expression above 1% and a 50% rate in patients with PD-L1 expression of at least 50%. She said the study is now focusing recruitment exclusively on patients with PD-L1-positive tumors, and no new or unexpected safety signals were identified. For IPH5201, Morel said the agreement is worth up to EUR 885 million in milestones, including EUR 60 million already received and EUR 825 million remaining. Innate has the option to co-fund a Phase 3 trial to receive 50% of European profit and co-promotion rights; otherwise, it would receive royalties in Europe, the U.S. and the rest of the world. Dickinson said Innate’s near-term priorities include initiating the TELLOMAK-3 Phase 3 study for lacutamab, presenting first-in-human IPH4502 data before the end of the year, and awaiting monalizumab’s PACIFIC-9 primary endpoint results in the second half of 2026. “Taken together, these three programs provide a clear set of value-driving catalysts across our portfolio,” Dickinson said. Innate Pharma SA is a clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in the discovery and development of antibody-based therapies that harness the body's innate immune system to combat cancer. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Marseille, France, the company pioneers novel monoclonal antibodies designed to activate natural killer cells and macrophages, offering a complementary approach to existing immuno-oncology treatments.

It is exciting to see the continued advancement of our differentiated immunotherapy pipeline for patients with high unmet medical need," said Jonathan Dickinson, Chief Executive Officer of Innate Pharma. Pipeline highlights: Lacutamab (anti-KIR3DL2 antibody): Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma The planned confirmatory Phase 3 TELLOMAK-3 trial is an open-label, multi-center, randomized, comparative study evaluating lacutamab in patients with Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, who have failed at least one prior systemic therapy. TELLOMAK-3 includes two cohorts: a confirmatory cohort in Sézary syndrome, intended to support a potential accelerated approval based on existing TELLOMAK Phase 2 data, and a registrational cohort in mycosis fungoides, intended to support full approval. The primary endpoint of the study for both cohorts is progression-free survival (PFS) evaluated by blinded central review. Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review of the Phase 3 protocol, with no further comments in November 2025, the trial is planned for initiation in H2 2026. The FDA provided encouraging feedback on the TELLOMAK Phase 2 results and the proposed regulatory pathway, which may support an accelerated approval in Sézary syndrome once the Phase 3 trial is underway. In February 2025, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to lacutamab for relapsed or refractory Sézary syndrome. The TELLOMAK Phase 2 trial is completed, and patients still on treatment at the end of the study continue to receive lacutamab through a Post Trial Access program. An abstract authored by ZS Associates entitled "Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma Epidemiology in the United States: A Real-World Data Analysis of Administrative Claims" has been accepted for publication in the official Abstract Book of the European Hematology Association Congress 2026. The analysis, sponsored by Innate, reports approximately 12,400 prevalent patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) and 1,100 with Sézary syndrome (SS), with ~2,900 and ~300 new cases per year, respectively. Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL) KILT (anti-KIR in T-Cell Lymphoma) Phase 2 trial, an investigator-sponsored, randomized study led by the Lymphoma Study Association (LYSA) evaluating lacutamab in combination with GEMOX (gemcitabine and oxaliplatin) versus GEMOX alone in patients with KIR3DL2-expressing relapsed/refractory PTCL, is ongoing. IPH4502 (Nectin-4 exatecan ADC): The IPH4502-101 Phase 1 study (NCT06781983), recruiting in France and in the United States, is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of IPH4502 in advanced 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 maximum tolerated dose has been reached and enrollment in the Phase 1 dose escalation and cohort enrichment is nearing completion. Preliminary anti-tumor activity continues to be observed in heavily pre-treated patients with advanced solid tumors, including in patients with urothelial cancer relapsed or refractory to enfortumab vedotin, with a favorable safety profile to date. Monalizumab (anti-NKG2A antibody), developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca: The PACIFIC-9 Phase 3 trial run by AstraZeneca evaluating durvalumab (anti-PD‑L1) in combination with monalizumab or AstraZeneca’s oleclumab (anti-CD73) in patients with unresectable, Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have not progressed following platinum-based chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is ongoing. Enrollment in the trial is complete, and data readout is expected in H2 2026. Other Clinical stage assets IPH5201 (anti-CD39 antibody, developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca): The MATISSE Phase 2 trial is evaluating IPH5201 in combination with durvalumab and platinum-based chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant lung cancer setting. Interim results from MATISSE Phase 2 were presented in a Clinical Trials Plenary Session at the AACR Annual Meeting 2026 on April 21, 2026 in San Diego, by Pr. Fabrice Barlesi (Institut Gustave Roussy). The pre-planned interim analysis was conducted on 40 patients with resectable early-stage (stage II–IIIA) NSCLC treated with perioperative IPH5201 in combination with durvalumab and platinum-based chemotherapy. The combination showed encouraging results with overall pathological complete response (pCR) rate of 27.5% (95% CI: 14.6–43.9). pCR rates were notably higher in patients with PD-L1-positive tumors, reaching 35.7% in PD-L1 ≥1% patients (n=28%) and 50.0% in PD‑L1 ≥50% patients (n=14). Higher baseline tumor CD39+ and CD8+ cell density was observed in patients achieving pCR/mPR, suggesting CD39 expression as a potentially emerging biomarker. The safety profile was comparable to that of preoperative platinum-based chemotherapy with durvalumab. Based on these encouraging results, the MATISSE study continues enrollment in the PD-L1 ≥1% patient population. IPH5301 (anti-CD73, proprietary): The investigator-sponsored CHANCES Phase 1 trial of IPH5301 with Institut Paoli-Calmettes is ongoing. IPH6101 (ANKET® anti-CD123, proprietary): Innate has initiated a research collaboration to further assess next steps of development. IPH6401/SAR’514 (ANKET® anti-BCMA, partnered with Sanofi): During the first quarter, Sanofi announced deprioritization of SAR’514, a trifunctional anti-BCMA NK-cell engager. Sanofi retains exclusive development and commercialization rights, and the license terms remain unchanged. Corporate Update: As previously announced, in line with its strategic focus, the Company has streamlined its organization. Planned layoffs were implemented through a redundancy plan which is completed. As of March 31, 2026, the balance available under our April 2023 sales agreement under the At-The-Market program remains at $75 million. Financial highlights for Q1 2026: Cash, cash equivalents and financial assets of the Company amounted to €25.4 million as of March 31, 2026. At the same date, financial liabilities amounted to €20.3 million. Revenue for the three-month period ending March 31, 2026, amounted to €2.6 million (€1.2 million for the same period in 2025). Revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements mainly resulted from the partial or entire recognition of the proceeds received pursuant to the agreements with AstraZeneca and Sanofi.

FY2026 Q1 earnings call transcript
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us. Welcome to the Innate Pharma First Quarter 2026 Business Update and Financial Results. After today's remarks, we will host a question-and-answer session. If you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypads to raise your hand. I will now hand the conference over to Stéphanie Cornen, Vice President of Investor Relations, Communication, and Commercial Strategy at Innate Pharma. Please go ahead.
Good morning and good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us for Innate Pharma's Q1 2026 business update and financial results conference call. The press release and today's presentation are both available on the IR section of our website. Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that today's presentation includes forward-looking statements based on current expectations. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. To briefly cover today's agenda, our CEO, Jonathan Dickinson, will begin with a strategic overview and outlook. Sonia Quaratino, our Chief Medical Officer, and Yannis Morel, our Chief Operating Officer, and I will then provide updates on lacutamab, IPH4502, and next generation ADCs, as well as AstraZeneca partner program, including monalizumab and IPH5201. Jonathan will return with closing remarks.
Frédéric Lombard, our CFO, will join us for the Q&A. With that, I will now hand it over to Jonathan.
Thank you, Stéphanie. Good morning to those joining from the U.S., and good afternoon to our European participants. Turning to slide five. We continue to execute against our strategy, which is focused on our three priority assets with discipline, and we're pleased with the strong progress we are seeing today. Starting with lacutamab, our anti-KIR3DL2 monoclonal antibody, which is being developed in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma or CTCL. As you remember, we received the FDA clearance to proceed with the TELLOMAK-3 phase III trial for lacutamab in CTCL, and we expect to be able to initiate the study in the second half of 2026. We have made progress in negotiating non-dilutive financing options for lacutamab, including potential pharma partnerships and royalty-based structures.
From a commercial perspective, we believe that lacutamab represents a meaningful opportunity in CTCL in both the United States and Europe, with additional life cycle expansion opportunities in peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Moving to IPH4502, our differentiated Nectin-4 ADC, which is being evaluated in advanced solid tumors. The phase I study is ongoing and approaching completion of enrollment in the dose escalation phase and backfill cohorts. As highlighted on the slide, we continue to observe preliminary antitumor activity in heavily pretreated patients, including in urothelial cancer patients previously treated with EV. We believe that IPH4502 may represent a differentiated opportunity, both in the post-PADCEV urothelial cancer setting and potentially across a broader range of solid tumors. And finally, turning to monalizumab, our AstraZeneca-partnered anti-NKG2A monoclonal antibody, which is being developed in non-small cell lung cancer.
The ongoing PACIFIC-9 Phase 3 study remains on track for a planned readout in the second half of 2026. From a financial perspective, the partnership also continues to represent a potentially important source of future value for Innate, including potential milestones, profit-sharing in Europe, and royalties in the United States and the rest of world. Overall, we believe these three assets provide Innate with a focused portfolio of differentiated clinical stage opportunities spanning both proprietary and partnered programs. I'll now hand over to Sonia and Stéphanie for a more detailed review of the lacutamab program.
Thank you, Jonathan. Turning to slide seven. Lacutamab continues to progress towards initiation of the TELLOMAK-3 confirmatory phase III trial and the potential accelerated approval pathway in Sézary syndrome. As a reminder, the phase II TELLOMAK study has demonstrated clinical meaningful and durable activity in both mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, including improvement in quality of life with a favorable safety and tolerability profile supporting potential for long-term treatment. Based on this data, lacutamab has received breakthrough therapy designation from the FDA in relapsed or refractory Sézary syndrome. It has previously received fast track designation from the FDA, PRIME designation from EMA, and Orphan Drug status in both United States and Europe. The phase II data from the TELLOMAK trial also support the potential accelerated approval filing in Sézary syndrome once the confirmatory phase III trial is underway.
In the next slide, the planned TELLOMAK-3 is an open-label, multicenter randomized comparative study to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of lacutamab in two separate cohorts of patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma who have failed at least one prior systemic therapy. In cohort one, patients with any stage Sézary syndrome who have failed at least one prior line of systemic therapy, including mogamulizumab, will be randomized 1-to-1 to either lacutamab or romidepsin. In cohort two, patients with MF ranging from stage 1B to four who have failed at least one prior line of systemic therapy will be randomized one-to-one to either lacutamab or mogamulizumab. Both cohorts will be randomized one-to-one, and randomization will be stratified according to disease stage and region. The primary endpoint for both cohorts is progression-free survival assessed by blinded independent central review.
The secondary endpoint for the Sézary cohort is overall survival, whilst the key secondary endpoints for the MF cohort are quality of life and pruritus. The TELLOMAK-3 study is designed to serve as the confirmatory trial for Sézary syndrome while also supporting full approval in mycosis fungoides. From a regulatory standpoint, we have received FDA clearance to proceed with this clinical trial protocol, and we continue towards phase III initiation expected in the second half of 2026. Stéphanie will now go through the commercial opportunity.
Thank you, Sonia. We continue to believe lacutamab represents an attractive commercial opportunity supported by a focused and efficient commercial footprint. Starting with Sézary syndrome. Based on recent real-world data analysis, we estimate approximately 300 incident patients per year in Sézary syndrome in the U.S., with a prevalence of around 1,000 patients, the majority of whom are treated in a limited number of specialized academic centers. Mycosis fungoides represent a significantly larger opportunity with approximately 3,000 incident patients per year and a prevalence of around 12,000 patients in the U.S. This data from an analysis conducted by ZS Associates are now available in the EHA 2026 online abstract book. This is a highly concentrated treatment landscape with over 85% of patients managed in academic centers and a large proportion treated within approximately 50 key institutions.
This concentration enables a targeted commercial approach with limited infrastructure. At the same time, Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides share the same prescriber base, which is a critical point from a commercial perspective. This means that an initial launch in Sézary syndrome is not a standalone opportunity but a direct entry point into the broader CTCL market. Importantly, when looking at the current market, mogamulizumab generated approximately EUR 300 million in annual sales in 2025 as planned and is projected to reach EUR 350 million in 2026 with strong adoption in Sézary syndrome and more limited penetration in mycosis fungoides. This provides a relevant benchmark for the market opportunity and highlights the potential for our therapy able to capture share across both Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides.
From a value perspective, key drivers include treatment duration, which is supported by durability of responses, pricing, and market share across a broader eligible patient population. Taken together, this supports a stepwise commercial strategy starting with an initial opportunity of up to EUR 150 million in Sézary syndrome, expanding to over EUR 500 million across Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides in the second-line setting, with additional upside as lacutamab moves into earlier lines of therapy and broader patient segments over time. I will now hand it over to Yannis to start the update on IPH4502.
Thank you, Stéphanie. IPH4502 is our novel and differentiated Nectin-4 exatecan ADC, which is in phase I. Turning to slide 11. IPH4502 has been designed to overcome the limitation of the first generation Nectin-4 ADCs and to deliver a more favorable therapeutic profile across multiple solid tumors. The drug candidate is based on a proprietary humanized antibody that binds to a distinct non-overlapping epitope versus enfortumab on the Nectin-4 target. It is combined with a stable, cleavable, and hydrophilic linker, which supports high systemic exposure of the ADC while minimizing the release of free exatecan in circulation and therefore reducing the risk of off-target toxicity. The payload, exatecan, is a potent topoisomerase I inhibitor with strong bystander activity, enabling to target not only Nectin-4 expressing tumor cells, but also neighboring cells with lower or heterogeneous expression.
Moreover, it is not sensitive to the mechanism of drug resistance related to MMAE, allowing to address patients who have been pre-exposed to PADCEV. Next slide shows how IPH4502 is positioned within the evolving Nectin-4 ADC landscape. The first wave of Nectin-4 ADCs largely relied on the MMAE payloads, including enfortumab vedotin. While EV has validated Nectin-4 as an important ADC target, other MMAE-based approach will most likely face similar limitation than EV, such as MDR1-mediated resistance and peripheral neuropathy. IPH4502 is designed to address this limitation through its topoisomerase payload and differentiated linker design. We believe this create a potential opportunity in bladder cancer, particularly in the post-enfortumab vedotin setting, as well as across multiple tumor type with low or moderate Nectin-4 expression. Overall, we believe we believe IPH4502 has the potential to be best in class Topo-1 Nectin-4 ADC driven by its differentiated design.
On the next slide, we show newly generated preclinical data that continue to reinforce the best-in-class potential of IPH4502 as a Topo-1 Nectin-4 ADC. You can see that in both high and low Nectin-4 expressing models, IPH4502 demonstrate robust antitumor activity. However, the key differentiation versus other Topo-1 Nectin-4 clinical ADCs appears in model with low Nectin-4 expression. IPH4502 maintains meaningful antitumor efficacy, while the other clinical ADCs show a clear loss of activity. This is really important as it highlights the unique ability of IPH4502 to remain active in tumors with lower target expression. Overall, across multiple in vivo models, we consistently observe better efficacy for IPH4502, supporting its best-in-class agent potential, particularly in low to moderate Nectin-4 expressing tumors. Now turning to Sonia for the clinical update.
Thanks, Yannis. Turning to slide 14, we see the outline of the clinical design of the phase I of IPH4502 study. We are currently evaluating this asset in a first-in-human phase I open label multicenter study in patients with advanced solid tumors known to express Nectin-4. We collect tumor biopsies at baseline from these patients and evaluate the Nectin-4 expression retrospectively. The study started in January 2025 and runs at specialized cancer sites in the U.S. and in France. This first-in-human study is guided by an adaptive BOIN design with backfill cohorts with the objective to assess safety, tolerability, and preliminary antitumor activity. Cohorts are backfilled at lower doses during the dose-finding trial while prioritizing the dose escalation cohort to explore a higher dose. These backfills help to generate more data in terms of safety, PK, efficacy at a given dose level.
Enrollment in the dose escalation part of the study has progressed well. Phase I dose escalation and cohort enrichment are nearing to completion. The maximum tolerated dose has been reached. We have defined a clear therapeutic window with a favorable safety profile to date and see preliminary efficacy at different dose level within the defined therapeutic window in an heavily pretreated patients with advanced solid tumor, including urothelial cancer patient who have progressed after enfortumab vedotin. Turning to next slide, we see that we highlight the growing therapeutic gap in bladder cancer after progression on EV plus pembro. Despite the advancement of enfortumab vedotin that has introduced in urothelial cancer patients, two-third of these patients still experience disease progression within two years. The management of patients who progress to this regimen has become a critical challenge.
As of 2026, there is no single established gold standard for second-line therapy after enfortumab pembrolizumab. Several strategies are utilized based on patient-specific factors. For patients who received first-line enfortumab plus pembrolizumab without prior platinum exposure, platinum-based chemotherapy, cisplatin or carboplatin with gemcitabine, is the preferred subsequent option. Real-world data indicates a modest efficacy with a median real-world time to next therapy of approximately three to 4.7 months. Due to the limited efficacy of current second-line options, enrollment in clinical trials is strongly prioritizing 2026 guidelines to investigate novel mechanism of action and combination therapies. This creates a significant unmet need in the post-enfortumab plus pembrolizumab setting, and we believe IPH4502 is well-positioned to potentially fill this therapeutic gap. In the next slide, we'll see our development vision for IPH4502, which includes both bladder cancer and broader solid tumor opportunities.
In bladder cancer, we see an opportunity to address the growing population of metastatic urothelial cancer patients who progress after EV-based therapies, where Nectin-4 expression appears to remain stable in tumor from patients who progress after EV. Over time, we also see potential to move to earlier lines, including in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy. Beyond bladder cancer, we believe IPH4502 may also have potential across multiple solid tumors with low to medium Nectin-4 expression, and we intend to consolidate the signals observed in the dose escalation study. Overall, our objective is to build a broad and modular clinical development strategy, starting with high unmet need populations and expanding into earlier lines of therapy and additional tumor types over time, depending on the emerging data.
Now, before we move ahead with our partner program, this slide highlights how we have built a comprehensive ADC discovery platform to develop a portfolio of next-generation ADCs designed to overcome the limitation of the current ones. Building on the IPH4502 linker, which stability in patients is clearly demonstrated by our emerging clinical data, we are developing a drug candidate portfolio around three approaches. Dual targeted bispecific ADCs to address tumor antigen heterogeneity and to expand addressable indications compared to single tumor antigen targeting. Bispecific ADC with enhanced internalization to unlock the activity in the low-expressing tumors. Finally, dual-payload ADCs using complementary mechanism of action to overcome resistance. Our next wave of ADC is currently progressing towards candidate selection and then IND-enabling studies. Now, turning to Sonia.
Turning to slide 19, we now provide an update on our AstraZeneca partner programs, monalizumab and IPH5201. In the next slide, let's start with monalizumab. The PACIFIC-9 is a major phase III randomized double-blind study to demonstrate that dual immunotherapy can significantly increase the survival rate of patients with unresectable stage three non-small cell lung cancer who have not progressed following definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. The rationale for this trial is supported by three phase II studies in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, including COAST, NeoCOAST, and NeoCOAST-2 studies. These studies reinforce the potential of targeting the NKG2A pathway to enhance the innate immune response alongside PD-L1 inhibition in early-stage lung cancer. Enrollment in PACIFIC-9 has been completed, and now we look forward to the data expected in the second half of 2026.
Now, in the next slide, let's move to another asset, this time in the adenosine pathway that is also co-developed with AstraZeneca, IPH5201, that blocks CD39, an enzyme that converts ATP into adenosine, which suppress the immune system. By preventing this conversion, the therapies is re-energizing the immune system within the tumor microenvironment. IPH5201 is currently evaluated in the MATISSE Phase 2 trial in combination with durvalumab and neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. The recent preplanned interim data presented at the AACR Annual Meeting on April 21st during a clinical trial plenary session has significantly strengthened the case for this anti-CD39 antibody. The interim analysis of 40 patients demonstrated that the combination of IPH5201, durvalumab, and chemotherapy is achieving pathological complete response rates that compare very favorably to the current benchmark.
The primary endpoint of pathological complete response showed a strong correlation with PD-L1 expression level. Based on the robust 35.7% pCR rate in PD-L1 above 1% and 50% pCR rate in patients with tumor with PD-L1 expression of at least 50%, the study is now moving forward by focusing recruitment exclusively on patients with PD-L1 positive tumors. No new or unexpected safety signals were identified. The combination was generally well-tolerated, with most adverse events being grade one or two. CD39 positive cell density in tumors is warrant to be further investigated as an emerging biomarker for predicting pathological complete response in IPH5201 plus durvalumab treatment. Overall, these encouraging early findings support continued investigation of IPH5201 in non-small cell lung cancer.
Turning to slide 22. Slide 22 summarizes the financial highlights of our AstraZeneca partnerships. For monalizumab, the agreements amount up to EUR 1.275 billion of milestones. We have already received EUR 450 million and remain eligible to additional EUR 825 million of potential payments. In case monalizumab is approved, AstraZeneca will book sales, and Innate Pharma will receive double-digit royalties on sales in the U.S. and rest of the world. In Europe, since Innate Pharma is contributing to 30% of the funding for the phase III trial, we will get 50% of the profit and have the option to co-promote the drug. For IPH5201, the agreement is worth up to EUR 885 million in milestones. To date, we already received EUR 60 million and remain eligible to EUR 825 million.
This agreement, having a similar structure than the monalizumab one, Innate Pharma has also the option to co-fund phase III trial in order to get 50% of the European profit and co-promotion rights. Otherwise, Innate Pharma will receive royalty in Europe, like in the U.S. and rest of the world. Together, this partner program provide Innate with meaningful potential non-dilutive cash through future milestone royalties and profit-sharing economics. I will now hand over to Jonathan for closing remarks.
Thank you, Yannis, Sonia, and Stéphanie. Turning to our upcoming milestones. Over the coming quarters, we expect several important catalysts across our priority assets. For lacutamab, we remain focused on initiating the TELLOMAK-3 confirmatory phase III study in the second half of 2026, subject to financing. For IPH4502, the study is progressing very well, and we have observed preliminary antitumor activity with a favorable safety profile to date, including in patients with urothelial cancer, relapsed or refractory to EV, which is a signal that we're starting to validate our preclinical hypothesis. We look forward to continued maturation of the emerging clinical data set following completion of dose escalation and cohort enrichment. For monalizumab, the phase III PACIFIC-9 trial in non-small cell lung cancer has completed enrollment, with data expected for the primary endpoint in the second half of 2026.
Taken together, these three programs provide a clear set of value-driving catalysts across our portfolio. With a cash position of EUR 25.4 million as of March 31st, 2026, we remain disciplined in our execution and focused on advancing programs that we believe have the potential to deliver meaningful value for both patients and shareholders. With that, operator, we're now ready to open the call for questions.
We will now begin the question-and-answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad to raise your hand. That is star one on your telephone keypad to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star one again. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. Your first question comes from the line of Daina Graybosch with Leerink Partners. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Hi, guys. I have a question on MATISSE and CD39 since that was presented recently. The discussant at AACR pointed out that while the triplet compares quite favorably to prior outcomes with durvalumab plus chemotherapy, it looks pretty similar to prior outcomes with the PD-1s plus chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting. I wonder what gives you confidence given, in given that sort of range of broader benchmarks? And in the next part of the MATISSE trial, is there a certain threshold of activity or a biomarker finding that AZ and you are looking for to take it forward into phase III?
I think Yannis and Sonia between the two can answer. I know you want to start Sonia, and then Yannis can fill in on the second piece.
Sure. Of course, you, you are right to say that this interim data show that the rate, the pCR rate that we observed at this interim analysis may be comparable to what has been seen in other trial using pembrolizumab. But, when you are benchmarking, of course, with the same PD-L1 backbone that is durvalumab, you have to admit that there is a significant uplift over this therapy as a single agent. In that respect, this has definitely produced an increase of pathological complete response that is not matched by an increase of toxicity. Which is remarkable. We also seen that, for instance, in pCR high expression, this pCR rate goes even higher. Of course, we cannot predict where this trial may materialize in a phase III, but so far the data looks very promising.
Hi, Daina. Yannis speaking. Like Sonia says, I mean, this trial has basically is providing two levels of information for that. When you add CD39 on top of an active PD-1 blocker, it's increasing the pCR rate. For us, it's clearly, if the signal is confirmed on the additional patient, really validating the targeting of this checkpoint in the adenosine pathway, plus targeting the, I would say, the efficacy of our drug candidate. Whether AZ will decide to take the license on this one and move it into phase III, that's another question that is more actually for AZ. But from a Innate perspective, it's very important to confirm and to establish that the blocking of CD39 can be effective in that setting.
Okay. Thank you.
Your next question comes from the line of Christopher Liu with Lucid Capital Markets. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Hey, thanks for the question. Maybe just two for me about IPH4502. For the first question, are there any additional details you can give us on the profile of the drug at the go-forward dose? For the second question, what do you see as the most compelling indications outside of bladder cancer for the asset, considering market opportunity and potential competition?
Thanks for the question. At this moment, we can only say we have seen some efficacy readouts in a different dose level within a therapeutic window. And we will be a bit more specific around both dose levels as well as potential indications to bring forward at a clinical conference this year.
Yep. Got it. Thanks.
Your next question comes from the line of Swayampakula Ramakanth with H.C. Wainwright. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Thank you. This is RK from H.C. Wainwright. You know, regarding the Nectin-4 ADC, you know, you're, it's just Lilly's product which are in phase I, where and Bicycle, you know, recently deprioritized their product. How do you see the competition going forward? You know, what sort of data would you be able to release in the next six months or so we have an understanding of how you are poised against the competition?
You need to take that?
Well, thanks for the question. In fairness, we don't know much about Lilly so far. We can only speculate that perhaps the asset was deprioritized because it doesn't look as good as the other Nectin-4 program that they also have in clinical development. We do not have, you know, the data because they've not been shared. We can only see when the abstract will be available on the 21st of May. Yeah, sorry for not adding more color, but we don't have details.
Yeah. In terms of the data, I think Sonia mentioned earlier.
Yeah.
That we expect to present the data at a medical conference sometime.
Later in the year.
Later in the second half of the year. I think at that point you will see go-forward indications and the data in urothelial cancer. Yeah, next steps for the program.
Okay. Thank you. On the collaboration with AstraZeneca, you know, have you elected for the 30% funding on the PACIFIC-9? What, you know, is there any residual cash obligations between you and them? I mean between now and a positive readout?
I mean, just to qualify a couple of things. The agreement that we have with AstraZeneca, it's capped at a certain level, and we are actually very close to the cap of the contribution. There are actually minimal contributions required between now and the data readout.
Okay. Thanks. Thanks for taking my questions.
Your next question comes from the line of Jeet Mukherjee with BTIG. Your line is now open. Please go ahead.
Great. Thank you for taking our question. Two from our side. Just any further color or perspective on the status of the lacutamab partnership discussions? Do you anticipate or feel confident that a deal can be finalized before the third quarter of this year? The second question, are we expecting any phase II PTCL data from lacutamab this year as well? Thank you.
Maybe on the partnerships, maybe I can start off and Yannis can fill in any gaps. We are very confident that we will execute a, either a BD partnership or a royalty financing partnership for lacutamab. The discussions are quite advanced and we would expect to be able to conclude one of those two types of partnerships moving forward in the relatively short term. From our perspective, it doesn't really matter which way we go with either a BD partnership or a royalty financing partnership. We would be running the phase III confirmatory study.
That would be in our control, where we could utilize our expertise that we've developed in the CTCL area from the TELLOMAK-2 study. We'll make that decision in the coming future, basically based on what's best for the company in terms of the NPVs of the two different approaches. Something coming in the future. Yannis, I don't know whether you want to.
The short answer is yes, we are confident that we can execute something before Q3.
Just the second question around phase II. Yeah.
Yeah. The PTCL, as you know, is run by the LYSA group, and we are towards the completion of this study. I don't think that this data will materialize before the end of this year. Yeah, and we have no further visibility on this study.
Yeah. This is an IST. It's under the control of the LYSA group. This is not a place where, as it's independent, where we can have control of the timelines. We know that the LYSA group are quite excited about lacutamab in combination with the GemOx chemo regimen, where they're studying this in late stage patients. We're optimistic that there will be data at some point in the future, but we can't put a very specific timeline on that.
Thank you.
There are no further questions at this time. I will now turn the call back to Jonathan Dickinson, CEO, for closing remarks.
Okay, thank you everybody for attending the earnings call today. We're at a point in time where I think we have some very exciting catalysts coming over the coming months. Just to remind you on lacutamab, the initiation of the confirmatory phase III program. For IPH4502, we're expecting to be releasing data on the first in human studies at a medical conference before the end of the year. And then, on monalizumab, we have the results from the primary endpoint of the PACIFIC-9 study coming before the end of the year. Thank you everybody for attending, and we look forward to giving you some updates in the very near future. Thank you.
This concludes today's call. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect.

Innate Pharma to Present MATISSE Phase 2 Interim Results of IPH5201 in Clinical Trials Plenary Session at AACR 2026
Encouraging early results catalyze continued investigation in the MATISSE Phase 2 study evaluating IPH5201, a first-in-class anti-CD39 monoclonal antibody, in combination with durvalumab and chemotherapy in resectable NSCLC; these results will be presented at the Clinical Trials Plenary Session at the AACR Annual Meeting 2026, on April 21 MARSEILLE, France, April 17, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH; Nasdaq: IPHA) ("Innate" or the "Company"), today announced that interim results from the MATISSE Phase 2 study evaluating IPH5201 in combination with durvalumab and platinum-based chemotherapy in resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be presented in one of the Clinical Trials Plenary Sessions at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026, taking place April 17–22, 2026 in San Diego, California. The MATISSE study (NCT05742607) is a single arm Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating perioperative IPH5201, an anti-CD39 blocking antibody, in combination with perioperative durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) in addition to neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy in previously untreated patients with resectable NSCLC. The trial is designed to assess whether dual inhibition of the CD39 and PD-L1 pathways, together with chemotherapy, can enhance anti-tumor immune responses and improve clinical outcomes in early-stage lung cancer. These results follow a pre-planned interim analysis on 40 patients. The combination of IPH5201 with durvalumab and chemotherapy demonstrated higher pathological complete response (pCR) rates compared with the benchmark set by durvalumab plus chemotherapy alone. Notably, pCR was 35.7% and 50% in patients with tumors expressing PD-L1 ≥1% and PD-L1 ≥50%, respectively. Based on these results, the study continues to recruit patients with tumors expressing PD-L1≥1%. "Patients with resectable NSCLC remain at significant risk of recurrence, underscoring the need for novel perioperative treatment strategies.

Encouraging early results catalyze continued investigation in the MATISSE Phase 2 study evaluating IPH5201, a first-in-class anti-CD39 monoclonal antibody, in combination with durvalumab and chemotherapy in resectable NSCLC; these results will be presented at the Clinical Trials Plenary Session at the AACR Annual Meeting 2026, on April 21 MARSEILLE, France, April 17, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News: Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH; Nasdaq: IPHA) ("Innate" or the "Company"), today announced that interim results from the MATISSE Phase 2 study evaluating IPH5201 in combination with durvalumab and platinum-based chemotherapy in resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be presented in one of the Clinical Trials Plenary Sessions at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2026, taking place April 17–22, 2026 in San Diego, California. The MATISSE study (NCT05742607) is a single arm Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating perioperative IPH5201, an anti-CD39 blocking antibody, in combination with perioperative durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) in addition to neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy in previously untreated patients with resectable NSCLC. The trial is designed to assess whether dual inhibition of the CD39 and PD-L1 pathways, together with chemotherapy, can enhance anti-tumor immune responses and improve clinical outcomes in early-stage lung cancer. These results follow a pre-planned interim analysis on 40 patients. The combination of IPH5201 with durvalumab and chemotherapy demonstrated higher pathological complete response (pCR) rates compared with the benchmark set by durvalumab plus chemotherapy alone. Notably, pCR was 35.7% and 50% in patients with tumors expressing PD-L1 ≥1% and PD-L1 ≥50%, respectively. Based on these results, the study continues to recruit patients with tumors expressing PD-L1≥1%. "Patients with resectable NSCLC remain at significant risk of recurrence, underscoring the need for novel perioperative treatment strategies. Disrupting the adenosine pathway through CD39 inhibition with IPH5201, in combination with PD-1 blockade and chemotherapy, could enhance anti-tumor immune responses—particularly in patients with PD-L1 positive tumors, where we observed up to 50% pCR rate in the MATISSE trial. This signal will be further investigated as we complete enrollment of the study in the PD-L1-positive population," commented Dr. Sonia Quaratino, Chief Medical Officer of Innate Pharma. The presentation will be available in the publication section of Innate Pharma’s website. Abstract details Dual CD39 and PD-L1 inhibition: Interim results from the Phase 2 MATISSE trial of IPH5201 plus durvalumab and platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with resectable NSCLC Abstract Code: CT231 Session: CTPL04 – Advances in Immunotherapy Session Date/Time: Tuesday, April 21, 2026, 10:45 – 11:00 AM PDT Presenter: Pr. Fabrice Barlesi, CEO of Institut Gustave Roussy About IPH5201 IPH5201 is a first-in-class monoclonal antibody targeting CD39, a key immunosuppressive enzyme in the adenosine pathway. CD39 is expressed on tumor-infiltrating immune and stromal cells and contributes to immunosuppression by degrading extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into adenosine monophosphate (AMP), which is then further degraded into adenosine by CD73. By blocking CD39, IPH5201 promotes the accumulation of immunostimulatory ATP and reduces the production of immunosuppressive adenosine, thereby enhancing anti-tumor immune responses. IPH5201 is being co-developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca and is currently being evaluated in the Phase 2 MATISSE trial (NCT05742607), a multicenter study investigating perioperative treatment with IPH5201 in combination with durvalumab (anti-PD-L1) and platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The MATISSE trial is designed to assess anti-tumor activity, including pathological complete response, and safety, with the goal of determining whether dual inhibition of the CD39 and PD-L1 pathways, in combination with chemotherapy, can enhance anti-tumor immunity and improve clinical outcomes in early-stage NSCLC.
