PRESS RELEASE
UPDATE ON CLINICAL TRIALS
WITH IPH2101 IN MULTIPLE MYELOMA
Marseilles, France, December 11, 2012
Innate Pharma SA (the "Company" - Euronext Paris: FR0010331421 - IPH), the
innate immunity company developing first-in-class drugs for cancer and
inflammatory diseases, updates on four early clinical trials with IPH2101
(hybridoma anti-KIR antibody) in Multiple Myeloma ("MM").
- Interim data of Phase I trial KIRIMID presented at ASH: a poster describing
interim data from the Phase I study KIRIMID, investigating the safety and
tolerability of the combination of IPH2101 with lenalidomide in patients with
relapsed MM following one or two lines of prior therapy was presented at the
2012 American Society of Hematology ("ASH") meeting by Don Benson, MD, PhD
(Division of Hematology/ Oncology, Ohio State Cancer Center, Columbus, OH).
The poster is available on Innate Pharma's
website: http://www.innatepharma.com/sites/default/files/ash_2012_
antikir_and_lena_phase_1_poster.pdf.
- Publication of Phase I results of IPH2101 in MM in Blood: the results of the
Phase I trial of IPH2101 in 32 patients with relapsed/refractory MM were
published online in the journal Blood. Patients were treated with IPH2101 for
up to 4 cycles without achieving dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) or reaching
maximal tolerated dose (MTD). Analysis of PK data demonstrated a clear
relationship between dose and drug concentration.
Innate Pharma also reports the results of the Phase IIa trials REMYKIR and
KIRMONO. IPH2101, tested as a single agent in patients with stable measurable
MM after induction therapy (REMYKIR study) and in patients with previously
untreated smoldering myeloma (KIRMONO study), did not show significant
reductions in M-protein levels, the primary efficacy endpoint of the studies.
The safety profile of IPH2101 was satisfactory.
Marcel Rozencweig, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of
Innate Pharma, said: "These published data were obtained with our first
generation anti-KIR antibody. IPH2102/BMS-986015 is a second generation
anti-KIR antibody that has been selected for further development and patients
are now being treated with IPH2102 in the recently announced Phase II
single-agent trial in Acute Myeloid Leukemia and the Phase I combination trial
with the Anti-PD-1 antibody nivolumab in solid tumors."
