Immuron Announces Close of Its Phase II NASH Clinical Trial Recruitment with 134 Randomized Patients & Provides an Update on Timing of Data-Driven Milestones Through CY2017

Melbourne, Australia, 6 April 2017: Australian biopharmaceutical Company Immuron Limited (ASX: IMC) is pleased to announce that the Company’s IMM-124E Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of NASH (Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis) has successfully randomized its 134th subject and that recruitment has now officially concluded. Earlier this year, the Company had reached the recruitment goal of 120 randomized subjects. However, due to strong demand, the Company allowed for subjects already in the screening process to complete screening and randomize into the study if eligible.

As previously announced, the Company expects to report an interim analysis of the first 80 subjects in CY3Q2017 and announce the top results of the study in CY4Q2017.

Immuron’s Senior VP Head of Medical, Dr. Dan Peres commented;

“All of us here at Immuron are pleased to close enrollment and excited to see the data come in. We are scheduled for an Interim analysis to be released in early CY3Q2017followed by the topline results by the end of the year. We are receiving excellent feedback from our Principal Investigators (PIs) around the world on a work well done and we have already begun to establish a small working group to design the next phase of our clinical study."

Over the past 2 years, the Company has made significant progress in strengthening the value of its NASH program, and expects the following data-driven milestones through the end of CY2017:

  • NASH Phase II interim data (minimum of 80 patients) – Est. CY3Q2017

  • MOA studies – Est. CY3Q2017 through CY4Q2017

  • SanyalBio mice NASH study

  • Duke University mice NASH study

  • NASH Phase II Top Line results – Est. CY4Q2017

Commented Thomas Liquard, CEO of Immuron Limited;

“We are excited at the progress that we are making across the board with our IMM-124E program in NASH. We look forward to the results of this comprehensive set of data through the end of the year, data which is expected to support our long-term strategy to find a partner for our IMM-124E NASH program post-Phase II. We believe in the competitive value proposition of IMM-124E and that its multifactorial MOA will be uniquely positioned to address the huge unmet need of this complex disease.”
