Pipeline highlights

ANKET® (Antibody-based NK cell Engager Therapeutics):

ANKET® is Innate’s proprietary platform for developing next-generation, multi-specific NK cell engagers to treat certain types of cancer.

IPH6501 (ANKET® anti-CD20 with IL-2V, proprietary)

The Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating IPH6501 in B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (B-NHL) is ongoing. The study is planned to enroll up to 184 patients. Clinical sites are open in the US, Australia and France and the first safety and preliminary activity data are expected in late 2025.

IPH6101 (ANKET® anti-CD123)

In alignment with both companies' current strategic priorities, Sanofi and Innate agreed to terminate the 2016 Research Collaboration and Licence Agreement (the “2016 Agreement”) as it relates to SAR’579/IPH6101 (CD123 ANKET®); Innate will regain its rights on SAR’579/IPH6101 (CD123 ANKET®).

  • The originally Sanofi-led Phase 1/2 study with SAR’579 / IPH6101 (clinical study identifier: NCT05086315) is ongoing. Efficacy and safety results from the dose-escalation part, were shared in an oral presentation at the EHA 2024 Congress.
  • In April 2024, Sanofi advanced SAR’579 / IPH6101 to the Phase 2 preliminary dose expansion of the trial.
  • The Parties will discuss a transition plan with regard to ongoing studies.

SAR’514/IPH6401, IPH62 (partnered with Sanofi)

SAR’514/IPH6401

As previously disclosed, Sanofi will opt to pursue the development of SAR’514/IPH6401 (BCMA ANKET®) in autoimmune indications under the terms of the 2016 Agreement.

  • The continued Sanofi-led Phase 1/2 study (clinical study identifier: NCT05839626) for the treatment of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma will be terminated early and SAR’514/IPH6401 will now be refocused to pursue development in autoimmune indications.

IPH62 and other target

  • IPH62 is a NK-cell engager program targeting B7-H3 under development from Innate’s ANKET® platform. Following a research collaboration period and upon candidate selection, Sanofi will be responsible for all development, manufacturing and commercialization.
  • Sanofi still retains the option of one additional ANKET® target under the terms of the 2022 research collaboration and license agreement.

Antibody Drug Conjugates:

IPH4502 (Nectin-4 ADC, proprietary):

IPH4502 is Innate’s novel and differentiated topoisomerase I inhibitor ADC targeting Nectin‑4.

  • The first patient was dosed in a Phase 1 study in January 2025. The Phase 1 will assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy 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 study plans to enroll approximately 105 patients. A Trial in Progress Poster will be shared at the upcoming American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in June 2025.
  • New preclinical data were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2025. IPH4502 demonstrated superior preclinical anti-tumor activity compared to enfortumab vedotin (EV) in urothelial carcinoma models with low or heterogeneous Nectin-4 expression, as well as in models resistant to EV. Beyond UC, IPH4502 also exhibited anti-tumor activity in preclinical models of triple-negative breast cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and esophageal cancer, suggesting broader potential clinical applicability.

Lacutamab (anti-KIR3DL2 antibody, proprietary):

Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma

TELLOMAK is a global, open-label, multi-cohort Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating lacutamab in patients with Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides.

  • In February 2025, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to lacutamab for relapsed or refractory Sézary syndrome based on TELLOMAK Phase 2 results demonstrating efficacy and a favorable safety profile in patients with advanced 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. Partnering discussions are underway. Phase 3 preparation is advancing with the FDA and EMA.
  • Long-term follow-up for Sezary syndrome and mycosis fungoides will be presented at the ASCO Annual Meeting in June 2025.

Peripheral T Cell lymphoma (PTCL)

The Phase 2 KILT (anti-KIR in T Cell Lymphoma) trial, an investigator-sponsored, randomized controlled trial led by the Lymphoma Study Association (LYSA) to evaluate lacutamab in combination with chemotherapy GEMOX (gemcitabine and oxaliplatin) versus GEMOX alone in patients with KIR3DL2-expressing relapsed/refractory PTCL is ongoing and continues to recruit patients.

Monalizumab (anti-NKG2A antibody), partnered with AstraZeneca:

  • The Phase 3 PACIFIC-9 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 definitive platinum-based concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is ongoing.
  • AstraZeneca will present an update on the outcomes of the Phase 2 study NeoCOAST-2 at the upcoming ASCO Annual Meeting in June 2025. NeoCOAST-2 is evaluating neoadjuvant durvalumab plus chemotherapy and novel anticancer agents and adjuvant durvalumab with or without novel agents in resectable non-small-cell lung cancer.

IPH5201 (anti-CD39), partnered with AstraZeneca:

  • The MATISSE Phase 2 clinical trial conducted by Innate in neoadjuvant lung cancer for IPH5201, an anti-CD39 blocking monoclonal antibody developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca, is ongoing and recruitment is on track.

IPH5301 (anti-CD73):

  • The investigator-sponsored CHANCES Phase 1 trial of IPH5301 with Institut Paoli-Calmettes is ongoing.

Corporate Update

  • As of March 31, 2025, the balance available under our April 2023 sales agreement under the At-The-Market program remains at $75 million.

Post period event

  • As announced on April 23, 2025, as part of the discussions with regard to the review of their 2016 Agreement, Sanofi and Innate agreed to a potential investment by Sanofi of up to €15 million in new shares of Innate. Sanofi then subscribed to 8,345,387 new ordinary shares of Innate, at a price of €1.7974 per share, representing a total capital increase of €14,999,998.59 (€417,269.35 in nominal amount and €14,582,729.24 of issue premium), representing 9.05% of Innate’s total outstanding shares as of the time of such capital increase.
  • Innate Pharma will propose to its Annual General Meeting taking place on May 22, 2025, to move from an executive board/supervisory board corporate governance structure to a board of directors structure with a Chief Executive Officer. This transformation is part of the Company’s strategic plan to simplify and align its governance with international standards.

Financial Results

Cash, cash equivalents and financial assets of the Company amounted to €72.5 million as of March 31, 2025. At the same date, financial liabilities amounted to €29.2 million. Cash, cash equivalents and financial assets as of March 31, 2025 do not include the €15.0 million payment received from Sanofi.
