Innate Pharma SA (the "Company" - Euronext Paris: FR0010331421 – IPH) today announced its revenues and cash position for the first three-months of 2019.
"During the first quarter, we successfully launched two key clinical studies and presented new data that paves the way for the advancement of new molecular entities towards the clinic," commented Mondher Mahjoubi, Chief Executive Officer of Innate Pharma. "In particular, the launch of the IPH4102 TELLOMAK study, which may support a potential BLA submission in Sézary syndrome, will allow us to evaluate IPH4102's potential benefit in larger subsets of T-cell lymphoma. Additionally, together with our partner, AstraZeneca, we will explore triple combination of monalizumab, cetuximab and an anti-PD(L)1 in IO-naïve head and neck patients. This is an important achievement to further assess the potential of monalizumab in the management of advanced head and neck cancer patients. We are committed to execute on our clinical plans and will provide data updates on many of our programs throughout the rest of the year and into 2020."
*Including short term investments (€15.7 million) and non-current financial instruments (€34.7million).

• First patient dosed in a new expansion cohort of the ongoing Phase Ib/II study (IPH2201-203). The expansion cohort will evaluate the safety and efficacy of monalizumab, a first-in-class immune checkpoint inhibitor with a dual effect on both Natural Killer (NK) cells and T lymphocytes, in combination with a PD-(L)1 inhibitor and cetuximab in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M SCCHN) who have not received prior systemic regimens in the R/M setting and who have not received prior treatment with a PD-(L)1 inhibitor ("IOnaïve").
• AstraZeneca selected four molecules from Innate's preclinical portfolio per the October 23, 2018 transaction terms. Selected molecules include the anti-MICA/B antibody drug conjugate† (IPH43) and the anti-Siglec 9 antibody program. Two other programs are undisclosed and include a multi-specific NKp46 NK cell engager.
† In 4Q 2018, the Company elected to advance the anti-MICA/B program as an ADC-antibody and terminated the naked antibody (ADCC) program IPH4301.

• Dose-escalation part of the Phase I study (STELLAR-001) with IPH5401, in combination with durvalumab (Imfinzi®) for the treatment of patients with solid tumors, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with secondary resistance to prior immuno-oncology (IO) treatment and IO-naïve hepatocarcinoma (HCC) is on track; safety update and start of cohort expansion are expected in 2H2019.
Cash, cash equivalents and financial assets of the Company amounted to €237.1 million as of March 31, 2019. At the same date, financial liabilities amounted to €5.3 million, of which €0.9 million resulting from the application of IFRS 16‡ (€4.5 million as of December 31, 2018).
During the first quarter, the remainder of the upfront cash payments associated with the October 23, 2018 AstraZeneca transaction were received or paid to the appropriate party.
• The Company received in January 2019 \$100 million (€87.6 million) as a result of AstraZeneca exercising its option to obtain the full rights of monalizumab in oncology.
‡ IFRS 16 « Leases » supersedes IAS 17 from January 1, 2019. Under IFRS 16, a lease liability is recognized for all the leases (operating and finance leases) whilst it was only applied to finance leases under IAS 17.

Revenues for the first three-months of 2019 amounted to €13.9 million (€8.7 million for the same period in 2018). For the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements mainly results from the spreading of the initial payments received under our agreements with AstraZeneca.
