INmune Bio Receives EMA’s Authorization in France and Spain for Phase II Clinical Trial of XPro™ for Early Alzheimer’s Disease

Boca Raton, Florida, Nov. 27, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — INmune Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB) (the “Company”), a clinical-stage immunology company dedicated to advancing treatments that leverage the patient’s innate immune system to combat disease, announced today it has received European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Authorized Decision from the Agence Nationale de Securite du Medicament et des Produits de Sante (ANSM) in France and the Agencia Espanola de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios (AEMPS) in Spain to initiate a Phase II trial in Early Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) with XPro™. 

This authorization follows the acceptance of the Company’s Clinical Trial Application (CTA) under EU Clinical Trials Regulation and prior EMA’s Authorized Decision in Poland on Nov 15, 2023.  The Spanish and French arms are part of the Company’s international clinical development strategy for XPro™ in patients with early AD. The trial is currently enrolling patients in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

“The French and Spanish clinical sites will significantly broaden the trial in Europe.  We are grateful for the collaboration from the ANSM and the AEMPS and look forward to continuing our progress toward completing enrollment of the Phase II trial.  We believe clinical sites in these two countries will be significant contributors to the Phase II program and will be part of the global Phase III clinical trial,” said RJ Tesi M.D., CEO of INmune Bio.

The Phase II clinical trial is a global, multi-center, randomized clinical study in patients diagnosed with early Alzheimer’s disease who have biomarkers of elevated inflammation. In a prior Phase I open-label trial, INmune Bio met all primary and secondary endpoints. Patients with AD who received XPro™ demonstrated notable decreases in neuroinflammation, enhanced axonal integrity, and improved synaptic function. Employing advanced MRI imaging techniques enabling a “virtual biopsy” of the brain, treatment with XPro™ demonstrated improvements in the structural integrity of both gray and white matter in the brain.

About XPro™

XPro™ (XPro1595, pegipanermin) is a next-generation selective inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) that is currently in clinical trials and acts differently than currently available TNF inhibitors in that it neutralizes soluble TNF (sTNF), without affecting trans-membrane TNF (tmTNF) or TNF receptors. XPro™ could potentially have substantial beneficial effects in patients with neurologic disease by decreasing neuroinflammation, decreasing neurodegeneration while improving synaptic function and promoting remyelination.
