REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Advancing Eftilagimod Alpha Through Late-Stage Development

Immutep is progressing efti through late-stage clinical trials towards potential marketing approvals in three cancer indications:

Directors’ Report (Continued)

During the half year, Immutep received positive scientific advice from the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) advising that further toxicology studies are not needed for Immutep to submit a future Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for efti in Europe. Similar advice was previously received from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a potential future Biologics License Application (BLA).

Additionally, the Company received constructive feedback regarding its upcoming pivotal trial in 1^st line NSCLC from the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI), a German regulatory authority and part of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), which is covered in more detail below.

Registrational trial in 1^st line NSCLC

TACTI-004 Phase III

TACTI-004 is Immutep’s planned Phase III trial of efti in combination with an anti-PD-1 therapy in 1^st line NSCLC patients. The FDA has granted Fast Track designation to efti for this indication in patients with a PD-L1 Tumor Proportion Score (TPS) of >1%, offering the potential for expedited development and review.

Immutep advanced the necessary preparations for the trial throughout the half year period, including regulatory interactions. In December 2023, Immutep received constructive feedback from the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI), a German regulatory authority and part of the CHMP, regarding the planned trial. The PEI indicated its support for evaluating efti in combination with an anti-PD-1 therapy in a chemotherapy-free regimen or as a triple combination approach that includes chemotherapy and noted the good safety profile of efti in this combination.

Additional interactions with the FDA, other local European regulators, as well as with other stakeholders and potential partners are ongoing.

Immutep is uniquely positioned to address multiple patient populations within non-small cell lung cancer as defined by their level of PD-L1 expression, including high (TPS >50%), low (TPS 1-49%), and negative (TPS <1%) expressors, with either efti combined with anti-PD-1 therapy or a triple combination approach including chemotherapy. Immutep expects to commence the trial in CY2024.

Late-stage trial with Fast Track designation in 1^st line HNSCC

TACTI-003 - Phase IIb

TACTI-003 is Immutep’s ongoing Phase IIb trial evaluating efti in combination with KEYTRUDA^® (pembrolizumab) as a first line treatment in patients with HNSCC. It is a randomised, multicenter clinical trial conducted under a Clinical Trial Collaboration and Supply Agreement between Immutep and Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, NJ, USA (known as “MSD” outside the US and Canada). Immutep has FDA Fast Track designation for this indication with the potential for expedited development and review.

Immutep completed patient enrolment for TACTI-003 in November 2023. Of the 171 patients participating, 138 patients have PD-L1 positive (Combined Positive Score [CPS] ≥1) tumours (Cohort A) and 33 patients have PD-L1 negative tumours (Cohort B). Patients in Cohort A whose tumors express PD-L1 (CPS >1) are stratified by CPS 1-19 and CPS >20, and the clinical results for these three CPS groups will be evaluated.

The primary endpoint of the study is Overall Response Rate of evaluable patients according to RECIST 1.1. Secondary endpoints include Overall Survival, Overall Response Rate according to iRECIST, Progression Free Survival, and Duration of Response. The primary analysis according to the trial protocol will be performed after all subjects have completed at least three cycles of treatment (18 weeks in total) or discontinued the trial, and all relevant data for the primary endpoint has been collected, cleaned, and analysed.

Immutep expects to report first data from TACTI-003 in H1 CY2024.

Directors’ Report (Continued)

Late-stage integrated trial in Metastatic Breast Cancer AIPAC-003 Phase II/III

AIPAC-003 is an integrated Phase II/III trial evaluating efti in combination with standard-of-care paclitaxel (a chemotherapy) for the treatment of metastatic HER2-neg/low breast cancer and triple-negative breast cancer, which together account for ~78% of breast cancer cases. The study is taking place at different clinical sites across Europe and the US.

During the first half, Immutep completed the safety lead-in portion of the AIPAC-003 trial evaluating for the first time 90mg of efti in combination with paclitaxel in 6 patients during the quarter. The treatment was well tolerated with no dose limiting toxicities. Following the recommendation of the independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC), the Company proceeded into the randomised (1:1) portion of the Phase II study consisting of up to 58 evaluable patients who will receive 30mg efti or 90mg efti to determine the optimal biological dose in combination with paclitaxel. Currently 21 patients have been dosed in the randomized part.

Depending on the Phase II results, potential regulatory actions and resources, the Phase III portion of the trial will potentially follow, providing a risk-balanced approach for Immutep. If it proceeds, the Phase III study will be a randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial evaluating Overall Survival of patients as its primary objective and may include a specific patient population.

Phase I and II Studies with Eftilagimod Alpha

TACTI-002 (also designated KEYNOTE-798) Phase II Trial in 1^st line NSCLC (Part A)

Immutep’s ongoing Phase II trial being conducted in collaboration with MSD and evaluating efti in combination with MSD’s anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA^® (pembrolizumab) in patients with 1^st line NSCLC (Part A). The trial is an all-comer study meaning patients can participate regardless of their PD-L1 biomarker status. It is a non-comparative, open-label, single-arm, multicentre clinical study at 18 centres across Australia, Europe and the US, which completed patient recruitment in late 2021.

Immutep has been continuing to follow patients from Part A of TACTI-002, reporting excellent Overall Survival results in patients with metastatic NSCLC at the ESMO Congress 2023 in Spain during the half year. Exceeding our expectations, median Overall Survival has reached 35.5 months in NSCLC patients expressing PD-L1 (patients with a TPS of >1%), 23.4 months in patients with low PD-L1 expression (TPS 1-49%), and encouragingly has not yet been reached in patients with high PD-L1 expression (TPS >50%). Efti in combination with pembrolizumab is enabling deep, durable responses for patients regardless of PD-L1 expression with a favourable safety profile that is in line with anti-PD-1 monotherapy.

The 35.5-month survival benefit seen in patients with a TPS of >1% gives these patients 12 to 18 months of additional survival compared to historical data from current standard-of-care immuno-oncology (IO) monotherapy and IO-IO or IO-chemotherapy options, including pembrolizumab in combination with doublet chemotherapy. In addition to the substantial survival benefit, the combination of efti and pembrolizumab is chemotherapy-free, avoiding the toxic side effects seen in chemotherapy options.

Following the efficacy results, new biomarker data from the trial was presented at the Society for Immunotherapy of Cancer (SITC) Annual Meeting in November 2023. The data demonstrated an early increase in immune cells (absolute lymphocyte count) was linked to improved clinical outcomes including the OS as detailed above.

EFTISARC-NEO Phase II Trial in Soft Tissue Sarcoma

EFTISARC-NEO is an ongoing investigator-initiated study being conducted by the Maria Skłodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology in Poland. It is an open-label Phase II trial evaluating efti in combination with radiotherapy and pembrolizumab in up to 40 soft tissue sarcoma (STS) patients in the neoadjuvant (prior to surgery) setting. STS is an orphan disease with high unmet medical need and poor patient prognosis.

The trial is the first to evaluate efti in a neoadjuvant setting. The Maria Skłodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology will primarily fund the study with a grant from the Polish government of € 1.5M(~A$2.2M), with Immutep providing efti at no cost.

Directors’ Report (Continued)

The first patient was enrolled and safely dosed with the chemotherapy-free triple combination therapy in July 2023, and currently a total of 9 patients have been safely dosed.

Institute of Clinical Cancer Research (IKF) INSIGHT Clinical Trial Platform

INSIGHT is an ongoing investigator-initiated Phase I clinical trial platform investigating efti in different combination treatments. It consists of five different arms from strata A to E, with active arms reported on below. The trial is being conducted by the Institute of Clinical Cancer Research (IKF) at Northwest Hospital, Frankfurt, Germany.

INSIGHT-003 (Stratum C) - Phase I triple combination with standard-of-care anti-PD-1 therapy and chemotherapy

INSIGHT-003 evaluates a triple combination therapy consisting of efti and an approved standard of care combination of chemotherapy (carboplatin and pemetrexed) and anti-PD-1 therapy (pembrolizumab) in 50 patients as first line treatment in non-squamous NSCLC adenocarcinomas.

During the first half, encouraging efficacy and tolerability data was presented at the ESMO Congress 2023. A strong 71.4% Overall Response Rate was reported, along with a 90.5% Disease Control Rate and 10.1-month median PFS. Median Overall Survival (OS) has not yet been reached, despite 81% of patients having low or negative PD-L1 expression.

In the difficult-to-treat PD-L1 TPS <50% patient population, the triple combination achieved a high 70.6% response rate and median PFS above 10 months in both low (TPS 1-49%) and negative (TPS <1%) PD-L1 patients. These low and negative expressing PD-L1 patients collectively represent roughly 70% of the overall NSCLC patient population and remain an area of high unmet need. The strong ORR compares favourably to reported results from an independent registrational trial of anti-PD-1 and doublet chemotherapy that yielded a response rate of 40.8% in the same patient population.

The trial was expanded to four sites across Germany in November 2023 to support faster enrolment. Currently, 31 patients are enrolled in the study.

INSIGHT-005 (Stratum E) - New Phase I trial with Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

INSIGHT-005 is an open-label Phase I trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of efti in combination with BAVENCIO^® (avelumab) in up to 30 patients with metastatic urothelial carcinoma. The study is being conducted under a Clinical Trial Collaboration and Supply Agreement between Immutep and Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. The study is jointly funded by Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany and Immutep.

Following receipt of regulatory approvals, the first patient was enrolled and safely dosed in the trial in December 2023.

Manufacturing of Efti

During the half year, Immutep received regulatory authorisation for efti manufactured at commercial 2,000L scale for use in clinical trials across multiple European countries including Germany, Belgium, Denmark and the United Kingdom. This followed the successful scale up of the manufacturing process of efti (from the 200L process) to commercial scale.

Preclinical Research & Development

IMP761

IMP761 is Immutep’s proprietary preclinical candidate for autoimmune diseases and the world’s first LAG-3 agonist antibody. LAG-3 is a promising target in autoimmune diseases due to its ability to switch off activated T cells that are damaging tissue or creating inflammatory responses.

IMP761 has been designed to restore balance to the immune system. It does this by silencing self-antigen-specific memory T cells, which are the underlying cause of many autoimmune diseases. It has the potential to treat the underlying causes of many autoimmune diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis, rather than merely treating the symptoms.

Directors’ Report (Continued)

During the half year, Immutep commenced the toxicology study evaluating the safety and toxicity of IMP761. Assuming this preclinical work is successfully completed, Immutep will advance IMP761 into clinical trials, currently planned for the middle of 2024.

Monash University

Following the end of the half year, Immutep entered into a research collaboration agreement with Monash University to progress joint investigations into the structure of LAG-3 and how LAG-3 interacts with its main ligand, MHC Class II. The new agreement is an extension of previous research collaboration agreements with Monash University signed in 2017 and 2020 and continues to be led by Professor Jamie Rossjohn at Monash University and Immutep’s CSO, Dr Frédéric Triebel.

Licensed Programs

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) - IMP731 (GSK2831781) (in transition back to Immutep)

Immutep S.A.S entered into an exclusive License and Research Collaboration Agreement with GSK in 2010 for the development of GSK2831781, a LAG-3 depleting antibody derived from Immutep’s IMP731 antibody, targeting autoimmune disease.

GSK2831781 was evaluated by GSK in a Phase I/Ib trial in psoriasis, with encouraging early evidence of clinical efficacy. The trial was a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical study in 40 healthy participants and 27 patients with psoriasis. The results showed a dose-dependent depletion of LAG-3 positive T cells in peripheral blood and psoriatic skin, with no safety or tolerability concerns^[1].

GSK then commenced a Phase IIa trial of GSK2831781 in patients with active ulcerative colitis; however, the trial was discontinued based on the assessment of clinical data as part of a planned interim analysis conducted in consultation with the trial’s Data Review Committee, as announced by Immutep in January 2021. While the ulcerative colitis trial was discontinued, GSK evaluated whether GSK2831781 may have potential efficacy in other non-gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions^[2].

Exercising its right to terminate the Agreement for convenience, GSK provided written notice of termination of the Agreement to Immutep on 26 February 2024 with an effective termination date of 30 May 2024. With effect from that date, the development and commercialisation rights to the LAG-3 candidate will revert to Immutep. Immutep is currently working with GSK on transition plans to complete a transfer of the drug and all related data and intellectual property to Immutep.

As a depleting antibody, GSK2831781 has a different mode of action compared to that of Immutep’s other LAG-3 products in development in oncology and autoimmune diseases. Once the Company has had the opportunity to examine the data returned from GSK, the Company will explore options for further developing and commercialising this asset. The Company expects no material impact on the financial statements due to the termination.

EOC Pharma - Phase II (Efti in China)

EOC Pharma is Immutep’s exclusive development and commercialisation partner for efti (designated EOC202) in China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Immutep retains these rights in all other territories. Immutep is evaluating with EOC Pharma, the next steps for developing efti in China.

Directors’ Report (Continued)

Novartis Ieramilimab

Novartis is Immutep’s partner for the development of ieramilimab (Novartis code: LAG525), a humanised LAG-3 antagonist antibody derived from Immutep’s IMP701 antibody. Novartis conducted clinical trials of ieramilimab in multiple cancer indications in combination with its PD-1 inhibitor, spartalizumab.

LabCorp

Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, known as LabCorp (NYSE: LH), is Immutep’s collaboration partner for the development of LAG-3 products or services. Immutep continued its work with LabCorp throughout the half year to support the development of new products and services, applying its in-depth LAG-3 expertise and knowledge.

Since the validation of the first LAG-3 product (Bristol Myers Squibb’s relatlimab) in 2022, there has been growing demand for immuno-oncology products or services. Immutep received initial fees from LabCorp and may be eligible to receive further revenues from commercial milestones as the collaboration progresses under its 2020 License and Collaboration Agreement with LabCorp.

Building Robust Intellectual Property

Immutep continued to build its portfolio of patents to protect its intellectual property, adding two new patents for efti and one new patent for IMP761 during the half year.

Eftilagimod Alpha

The Company was granted a new patent by the Brazilian Industrial Property Office protecting Immutep’s potency assay for release testing of efti. This assay is used in the commercial-scale (2,000L) manufacturing process for efti. The Brazilian patent follows similar patents granted in Japan and Australia in 2023, and Korea in 2022.

Immutep was also granted a new patent for efti by the Korean Intellectual Property Office. The patent protects Immutep’s intellectual property for combination therapies comprised of efti and a chemotherapy agent which is oxaliplatin, carboplatin, or topotecan. The application was filed as a second divisional application and follows the grant of the first divisional patent, announced in 2022.

IMP761

A new patent was also granted protecting IMP761 in September by IP Australia, the Australian Government’s patent agency.

Corporate Summary & Financial Performance

Following the half year, Immutep appointed Anne Anderson to the Board as independent non-executive director effective from 14 February 2024. Ms Anderson has extensive board and leadership experience serving Australian and international companies, including an executive career of more than 35 years spanning the energy and global financial services sectors. She brings considerable capability across capital markets, risk management and governance to Immutep’s Board.

During the current half-year reporting period, total revenue and other income increased from A$2.58 million to A$4.11 million. This was mainly as a result of an increase of A$1.70 million in interest income and an increase in grant income by A$360k which was partly offset by a decrease in gain in foreign exchange by $461k.

Immutep recognised A$2.02 million of grant income of which A$1.95 million was attributable to the Company’s French subsidiary which receives grants from the French Crédit d’Impôt Recherche scheme for expenditure incurred on eligible research and development activities conducted during the reporting period. Approximately A$68k was recognized in the parent entity from the Australian Federal Government’s R&D tax incentive program, which was provided mainly in respect of expenditure incurred on eligible research and development activities conducted in the reporting period for the TACTI-002 and TACTI-003 trials. Total grant income in the current half-year reporting period is A$2.02 million compared to A$1.66 million in the half year ended 31 December 2022.

Directors’ Report (Continued)

Interest income increased from A$304k to A$2 million in the current half-year reporting period mainly due to the substantial increase in cash holdings throughout the six-month period as a result of funds received from capital raising in June 2023 and also increased interest rates.

Research and development and intellectual property expenses increased from A$18.97 million in the half-year ended 31 December 2022 to A$20.44 million in the current half-year reporting period. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in clinical trial costs, staff costs and contract laboratory services while manufacturing costs decreased.

Corporate administrative expenses for the current half-year reporting period were A$4.80 million compared to A$4.13 million in the previous comparative period. This was mainly as a result of an increase in share-based payment expenses and also inflation.

The loss after tax for the half-year ended 31 December 2023 of A$21,228,191 was higher compared to A$20,623,250 for half-year ended 31 December 2022. This increase was mainly attributable to increase in clinical trial activities and contract laboratory services undertaken during the half year period.

Immutep continues to exercise prudent cash management and remains well-funded with a cash balance of A$103.7m as of 31 Dec 2023. This provides a cash runway to early calendar year 2026.

Outlook

Immutep is actively and strategically pursuing the development of two first-in-class agonist therapeutics in oncology (efti) and autoimmune disease (IMP761) with the aim of bringing these therapeutics to market in a timely and capital efficient manner.

Looking ahead, Immutep has several significant value creating milestones on the horizon, including updates for the upcoming pivotal TACTI-004 Phase III trial in 1^st line NSCLC, the initiation of the first-in-human Phase I study of the Company’s autoimmune disease candidate IMP761, and clinical data updates from its Phase II trial in 1^st line NSCLC, Phase IIb trial in 1^st line HNSCC, and Phase II/III trial in metastatic breast cancer. This data pool across a wide range of cancers will potentially validate efti’s broad applicability and value as a promising immuno-oncology therapy.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of Preparation

The half-year consolidated financial statements is a general purpose financial report for the half-year ended 31 December 2023 has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, and the Corporations Act 2001.

The half-year report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financing and investing activities of Immutep as the annual report.

Accordingly, it is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2023 and any public announcements made by Immutep Limited during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

International Financial Reporting Standards form the basis of Australian Accounting Standards adopted by the AASB. The half-year financial report complies with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding half-year reporting period, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding half-year reporting period.

2. LIQUIDITY

The Group has experienced significant recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. As at 31 December 2023, the Group holds cash and cash equivalents of $103,734,981 (30 June 2023: $123,417,716).

In line with the Group’s financial risk management, the directors have carefully assessed the financial and operating implications of the above matters, including the expected cash outflows of ongoing research and development activities of the Group over the next 12 months. Based on this consideration, the directors are of the view there is no material uncertainty, and the Group will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due for at least 12 months following the date of these financial statements and that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

Monitoring and addressing the ongoing cash requirements of the Group is a key focus of the directors. This involves consideration of future funding initiatives such as potential business development opportunities, capital raising initiatives, and the control of variable spending on research and development activities of the Group.

3. DIVIDENDS

The Board did not declare any dividends in the half-year ended 31 December 2023.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

11. NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES – CONVERTIBLE NOTE

On 11 May 2015, the Group entered into a subscription agreement with Ridgeback Capital Investments (Ridgeback) to invest in Convertible Notes and Warrants of the Group for cash consideration totaling A$13,750,828, which was subject to shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholder approval was received on 31 July 2015.

The 13,750,828 Convertible Notes issued in 2015 had a face value of $1.00 per note and are currently convertible at a price of approximately $0.16 per share (adjusted for post share consolidation and anti-dilution clause), mature on 4 August 2025 and accrue interest at a rate of 3% per annum which may also be converted into shares. Conversions may occur during the period (i) at least 3 months after the Issue Date and (ii) at least 15 business days prior to the maturity date into ordinary shares of the Company (subject to customary adjustments for rights or bonus issues, off market buybacks, issues at less than current market price, share purchase plan, dividend reinvestment plan at a discount, return of capital or dividend or other adjustment). If a change of control event, delisting event or event of default has occurred, Ridgeback may elect to convert the notes into shares or repayment of principal and interest. The Convertible Notes rank at least equal with all present and future unsubordinated and unsecured debt obligations of the Company and contain customary negative pledges regarding financial indebtedness, dividend payments, related party transaction and others.

Details of the warrants granted together with the convertible note at initial recognition date are as follows:

All warrants may be settled on a gross or net basis and the number of warrants or exercise price may be adjusted for a pro rata issue of shares, a bonus issue or capital re-organisation. The Warrants do not confer any rights to dividends or a right to participate in a new issue without exercising the warrant.

As a result of the 10 to 1 share consolidation in November 2019, the above cited warrants have been restated in accordance with the subscription agreement. The exercise prices have been adjusted for the capital raising during the financial year under the anti-dilution clause of share purchase agreements.

The warrant expiry dates remain unchanged. The restated terms are as follows:

37,144,524 warrants with an exercise price of A$0.235 per share lapsed unexercised on 4 August 2020. None of the other warrants specified above have been exercised since initial recognition up to 31 December 2023.

After initial recognition, there were five subsequent conversions of convertible notes in total as follows and no conversion happened during the half-year ended 31 December 2023:

859,427 convertible notes (i.e., 6.25% of the initial convertible notes) remain outstanding as at 31 December 2023, each with a face value of A$1.00. The liability component of the convertible note has been measured at fair value as required by AASB 2 – Share-based Payments.
