BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INmune Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB) (the “Company”), a clinical-stage immunology company focused on developing treatments that harness the patient’s innate immune system to fight disease, today announces its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and provides a business update.

Q2 2025 and Recent Corporate Highlights  

DN-TNF Platform Highlights (XPro™):

• Released top-line data from the MINDFuL phase 2 trial in 208 patients with MCI and early Alzheimer’s.
  • The trial missed its primary cognitive endpoints in the 200 modified mITT patients enrolled, however;
  • XPro™ demonstrated a positive impact on the primary cognitive endpoint EMACC in a pre-defined subset of 100 patients (50%) with two or more biomarkers of inflammation, defined as the enriched population.
• Additional data from the MINDFuL trial was presented by a Key Opinion Leader, Dr. Sharon Cohen of the Toronto Memory Program, at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) on July 29^th. This data is summarized in the forest plot below.

Figure Legend: With the enriched population underpowered for detecting statistically significant changes, the Company and third-party statisticians relied on Cohen’s d effect sizes to evaluate the meaningfulness of observed changes. These effect sizes, though small, consistently favored XPro™ over placebo on the primary endpoint and multiple secondary and exploratory endpoints (see figure). Across most endpoints, XPro™ showed favorable trends, with effect sizes approaching the 0.2 threshold for clinical relevance.

The clinical endpoints shown in the forest plot include:

• EMACC (Early Mild Alzheimer's Cognitive Composite)-Performance-based measure of Cognition: empirically derived composite of neuropsychological tests that are widely used in clinics.

• ISRL (International Shopping List Test, delayed recall) – Performance-based measure of Memory. Delayed recall component of widely used word-list learning test.

• CDR-SB (Clinical Dementia Rating Scale – Sum of Boxes) – Clinician-rated measure that combines Cognition and Function: interview with study partner and patient as well as some performance-based items completed by patient.

• NPI (Neuropsychiatric Interview) - Caregiver-reported measure of the patient's psychiatric symptoms.

• ECog (Everyday Cognition) - Caregiver reported questionnaire: caregiver rates the patient's change in cognition (skills now as compared to 10 years ago – prior to cognitive decline) 

• GAS (Goal Attainment Scale) Personalized Patient and caregiver-rated scale where the specific goals and items are chosen by patient and caregiver and they rate change on the goals over the course of the study.

• Presented a poster at the Keystone Symposia that showed that XPro™ significantly reduces amyloid formation and improves clinical measures of brain function in patients with TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).

CORDStrom™ Platform:

• Received a favorable written opinion from The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), acting as the International Search Authority, on all claims in INmune Bio’s international patent application PCT/US25/17028, titled “THERAPEUTIC COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING POOLED, CULTURE-EXPANDED HUMAN UMBILICAL CORD DERIVED MESENCHYMAL STROMAL CELLS.”

• Partnered with the Cell and Gene Therapy Catapult (CGT Catapult) to establish large-scale, commercial-ready manufacturing for CORDStrom™ and the Company's other cell therapy platforms. This is an essential part of our ambitious timeline to transfer the manufacturing site, validate the large-scale manufacturing process and all of the analytical assays in time for MAA and BLA submissions next year. Much of this work continues to provide data to strengthen our existing IP position portfolio.

• The complete database of clinical data from the randomized, double-blind trial of CORDStrom™ in Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa (RDEB) has now been delivered from the trial sponsor to an independent statistical analysis company which is applying a statistical analysis plan devised by INmuneBio. We believe this will enrich the data presented by the Sponsor previously and we anticipate the data being available in Q4.

INKmune® Platform:

• Following success in meeting the primary endpoint at completion of the phase I aspect of the CARE-PC trial we opened the phase II in Q1 this year and quickly enrolled the first three patients. Early analysis of blood samples for the biomarkers of interest demonstrated that both secondary endpoints of NK activation and NK cell proliferation in vivo had been met.

• Determined that patients with low NK cell function responded better to treatment, with substantial increases in NK cell potency. This allows us to screen patients in future trials to direct treatment only to those with the ability to respond, in the same way that patients have been screened for suitability for treatment with checkpoint inhibitor drugs.

• We await receipt of results of PSMA-PET scans for most of the trial subjects, although initial results from the phase I patients showed reduction or control of individual lesions in a background of worsening disease.

• Having reviewed the current data, we concluded that the CARE-PC trial has provided all the data needed to design a future randomized trial and we have closed the trial to further recruitment to ensure completion of follow-up by end of Q4 of 2025 as planned.

Corporate:

• Dr. RJ Tesi retires as CEO.

• David Moss appointed President & CEO and to the Board of Directors.

• Cory Ellspermann appointed as Interim CFO.

• Kelly Ganjei appointed as Chairman of the Board.

• Closed a $19 million registered direct offering.

Upcoming Events and Milestones:

• End of phase 2 meeting regarding the MINDFuL trial with the FDA expected to take place in the fourth quarter.

• The Company will file a publication on the MINDFuL trial results expected to be available this month.

• The Company remains on track to file a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) in the UK and Biologic License Application (BLA) for CORDStrom™ in RDEB by mid-2026.

• We have ambitious plans to develop a pipeline of additional indications for CORDStrom™ which we will pursue with non-dilutive funding or partnerships.

• Additional data from Greater Orman Street Hospital on RDEB patients treated with CORDStrom™ expected in the fourth quarter.

• More patient data from the INKmune® ongoing phase 2 trial in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer will be released as it becomes available.

About XPro™

XPro™ is a next-generation inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) that 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 have potential substantial beneficial effects in patients with neurologic disease by decreasing neuroinflammation. For more information about the importance of targeting neuroinflammation in the brain to improve cognitive function and restore neuronal communication visit this section of the INmune Bio’s website.

About CORDStrom™

CORDStrom™ is a patent-pending cell medicine comprising aseptic, allogeneic, pooled human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hucMSCs) in suspension for injection or infusion. The CORDStrom™ platform leverages, among other things, proprietary screening, pooling and expansion techniques to create off-the-shelf, allogeneic, pooled hucMSCs as medicines to treat complex inflammatory diseases. CORDStrom™ products are designed to provide high-quality, off-the-shelf, batch-to-batch consistent, scalable, cGMP manufactured, potent cellular medicines that can be produced at low cost and with repeatable specification independent of donor characteristics. The CORDStrom™ product platform shares many similarities, including reagents, equipment, and procedures, with the Company’s INKmune® oncology product, enabling the Company to leverage economies of scale, experienced staff, and other resources to strategically manufacture both products in a rotational campaign with resource and environmental efficiencies.

Initially developed at the INKmune® manufacturing facilities utilizing UK academic grant funding, CORDStrom™ is an MSC product platform that shows promise as a first systemic therapy for potentially treating RDEB and many other debilitating conditions. While the first generation CORDStrom™ product is agnostic to disease indication, the platform enables creation of indication-specific products, which can be tuned for optimization of anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, wound healing, and other characteristics.

About INKmune®

INKmune® is a pharmaceutical-grade, replication-incompetent human tumor cell line which conjugates to resting NK cells and delivers multiple, essential priming signals to convert the cancer patient’s resting NK cells into tumor killing memory-like NK cells (mlNK cells).  INKmune® treatment converts the patient’s own NK cells into mlNK cells. In patients, INKmune® primed tumor killing NK cells have persisted for more than 100 days. These cells function in the hypoxic TME because due to upregulated nutrient receptors and mitochondrial survival proteins.  

INKmune® is a patient friendly drug treatment that does not require pre-medication, conditioning or additional cytokine therapy to be given to the patients. INKmune® is easily transported, stored and delivered to the patient by a simple intravenous infusion as an out-patient. INKmune® is tumor agnostic; it can be used to treat many types of NK-resistant tumors including leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, lung, ovarian, breast, renal and nasopharyngeal cancer.  INKmune® is treating patients in an open label Phase I/II trial in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in the US this year.
