· P140's MOA support its potential not only for SLE sufferers, but for patients suffering from a multitude of autoimmune diseases that are caused by the same underlying immune system malfunction
· In April 2024, the Company announced that it has initiated a new intellectual property strategy to significantly enhance the patent life and commercial value for its P140 technology platform
SLE (Lupus)
· A Phase 3 dose-range study of P140 continues preparation in collaboration with Simbec-Orion, the designated Contract Research Organisation ("CRO")
· The new international SLE Phase 3 dose-range study design and protocol is substantially different from the previous Phase 3 clinical trial completed by ImmuPharma in 2018
· The monthly dose level administered by subcutaneous injection will be significantly higher
CIDP
· A Phase 2/3 adaptive clinical study of P140 in CIDP is planned following positive guidance from a Pre-Investigational New Drug (PIND) meeting with the FDA last year
· An IND application is now close to submission to the FDA, incorporating all guidance points
· Simbec-Orion, has been appointed as the CRO for this program
Preclinical Portfolio
· The core anti-infective program with antifungal (BioAMB) and antibacterial (BioCIN) candidates are progressing through pre-clinical studies
· The non-core anticancer collaboration with Orano SA is ongoing
Incanthera
· On 3 June 2024 ImmuPharma divested its investment in shares in Incanthera. All of the 9,904,319 shares held at the year-end were sold at 15p per share realising gross proceeds of £1.5 million.
· Announced today: As confirmed by a separate announcement issued today, the warrants of 7,272,740 held in Incanthera have been extended to 31 March 2025. See separate announcement for full details of the transaction.
Commenting on the statement and outlook Tim McCarthy, CEO and Chairman, said:
"We remain committed as a Board, on the development of P140 in SLE and CIDP, our two key late-stage clinical assets, together with securing additional partnering for P140. We have made significant scientific progress over the last period, including refinement of the protocols for the SLE and CIDP studies and new insights into the MOA of P140, and as a result, we have a high level of confidence of the success of these new studies.
We will also continue to concentrate on securing further commercial and partnering deals, on which we have made significant progress over the last 6 months.
On an operational level, we have continued our focus on tight cost controls and maximising the use of outsourcing to keep our committed overhead costs to the minimum. This is illustrated very clearly in the reduction of our operating loss for the period to £0.4m down from £0.8m for the same period last year. We have also strengthened the balance sheet and extended our cash runway by successfully selling our shareholding in Incanthera, whilst still retaining a further 7.3 million warrants.
We look forward to providing further updates on the progress of our pipeline and commercial deals throughout the remaining period of 2024 and moving into 2025.
In closing, we would like to thank our shareholders for their support as well as our staff, corporate and scientific advisers and our partners including CNRS and Avion."

FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2024
ImmuPharma plc
Chairman's Statement
Chairman's Report
The first part of 2024 has been a period of progress for ImmuPharma, with our late-stage pipeline assets, specifically within our P140 autoimmune technology platform, where we have gained new insights into the MOA which is strengthening our discussions with potential partners.
There has also been continuing significant attention to tight financial management and stability over the period, which is highlighted in the key financial highlights. But in summary, this is reflected in the operating loss for the period reducing to £0.4m down from £0.8m for the previous period.
P140 / SLE & CIDP
Preparation for a new international, dose-range, Phase 3 study in systemic lupus erythematosus ("SLE") is underway with Simbec-Orion, our appointed Contract Research Organisation ("CRO").
There are a number of significant improvements in the new Phase 3 study design compared to the one completed by ImmuPharma in 2018. Of particular note are dose levels of P140, administered through subcutaneous injection, which will be significantly higher.
Our second major clinical study addresses chronic idiopathic demyelinating polyneuropathy ("CIDP"), a high medical need autoimmune disease. The Company received positive feedback from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) at a Pre-Investigational New Drug Application (pre-IND) meeting for a late-stage Phase 2/3 adaptive clinical program. CIDP is a rare disease and qualifies as an orphan indication.
An IND application is now being prepared for submission to the FDA, incorporating all guidance points and Simbec-Orion has been appointed as the CRO for this program.
New insights into P140's mechanism of action ("MOA") explain why it is the only non-immunosuppressing therapy in clinical development in the industry for autoimmune diseases. P140's MOA supports its potential as a therapy for patients suffering from a multitude of autoimmune diseases that are caused by the same underlying malfunction. This agrees with preclinical animal models where P140 has demonstrated efficacy in several autoimmune diseases, for example, asthma (acute and chronic), gout, periodontitis, IBD and Sjogren's disease.
Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS)
ImmuPharma continues to have important collaboration arrangements with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique ("CNRS"), the French National Council for Scientific Research and the largest basic research organisation in Europe.
Anti-Infection
Anti-infection (antifungal and antibacterial) was chosen as a core therapy focus because of the continual emergence and threat of new and drug-resistant fungi and bacteria.
The innovative peptide technology at ImmuPharma Biotech has been a huge success and very recently has given rise to two novel development programs, out of which we have identified two core programs, in pre-clinical development: BioAMB and BioCin, which we believe have the best commercial opportunity and speed to market. The new entities include BioAMB (a new antifungal based on amphotericin-B) and BioCIN (a new antibacterial based on vancomycin) and will be fully patent protected.
Interest in Incanthera Plc
On 3rd June 2024 the Company sold its investment in shares in Incanthera plc. All of the 9,904,319 shares held at the year end were sold at 15p per share realising gross proceeds of £1.5 million. ImmuPharma continues to hold 7,272,740 warrants in Incanthera plc. As of 6 September 2024, the warrants have been extended to 31 March 2025. See announcement issued on 9 September 2024 for further information.
Current Activities and Outlook
We remain committed as a Board, on the development of P140 in SLE and CIDP, our two key late-stage clinical assets, together with securing additional partnering for P140. We have made significant scientific progress over the last period, including refinement of the protocols for the SLE and CIDP studies and new insights into the MOA of P140, and as a result, we have a high level of confidence of the success of these new studies.
We will also continue to concentrate on securing further commercial and partnering deals, on which we have made significant progress over the last 6 months.
On an operational level, we have continued our focus on tight cost controls and maximising the use of outsourcing to keep our committed overhead costs to the minimum. This is illustrated very clearly in the reduction of our operating loss for the period to £0.4m down from £0.8m for the same period last year.

("Lanstead") at a price of 10p per share for an aggregate subscription price of £1.3m before expenses. In December 2021, the Company issued 20,000,000 new ordinary shares to Lanstead at a price of 11p per share to raise £2.2m before expenses. In the placement completed in August 2022, the Company issued 20,000,000 new ordinary shares to Lanstead at a price of 5p per share to raise £1m gross. In the placement completed in August 2023, the Company issued 50,000,000 new ordinary shares to Lanstead at a price of 2p per share to raise £1m gross. All Subscriptions proceeds were pledged under the Sharing Agreement, under which Lanstead made and will continue to make, subject to the terms and conditions of that Sharing Agreement, monthly settlements to the Company that are subject to adjustment upwards or downwards depending on the Company's share price performance.
In December 2021 and August 2022, the Company also issued 1,400,000 new ordinary shares consecutively and 4,750,000 in August 2023 to Lanstead as value payments in connection with the Share Subscriptions and the Sharing Agreements. The settlements from remaining agreements (December 2021, August 2022 and August 2023) will continue until 2025, completing in June 2024, October 2024 and October 2025 respectively.
At the end of the accounting period the amount receivable has been adjusted to fair value based upon the share price of the Company at that date. Any change in the fair value of the derivative financial asset is reflected in the income statement. As at 30 June 2024, the Company completed a calculation of fair value of the derivative financial asset that resulted in a finance gain of £170,766 (£142,439 loss at 30 June 2023), which was recorded in the income statement. The restatement to fair value will be calculated at the end of each accounting period during the course of each Sharing Agreement and will vary according to the Company's share price performance. |
