The directors of Imugene Ltd (ASX: IMU) hereby submit their Appendix 4C report for the March 2016 quarter

Melbourne, Australia, 29 April 2016: This report shows net operating and investing cash outflow of A$1.277m, higher than the A$0.69m average of the previous four quarters. There are two main reasons for the higher than usual outflow:

  • Preparatory work for the upcoming Phase 1b/2 clinical study of HER-Vaxx in gastric cancer, which is expected to commence recruiting patients in second half of calendar 2016

  • An annual payment to the Medical University of Vienna related to the mimotopes development programme which Imugene announced on 20 January 2016.

As at 31 March 2016 Imugene held A$2.44m in cash. On current budgets and including an expected R&D tax refund, Imugene is funded through to the end of calendar 2016.

About Imugene

Imugene (ASX: IMU) is a clinical stage immuno-oncology company headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. Its lead product is HER-Vaxx, a B Cell peptide vaccine for the treatment of gastric cancer. The company is also developing mimotope-based immunotherapies against validated and new oncology targets.

HER-Vaxx is a cancer immunotherapy designed to treat tumours that over-express the HER-2/neu receptor, such as gastric, breast, ovarian, lung and pancreatic cancers. This unique immunotherapy, developed by leading scientists at the Medical University of Vienna in Austria, is a peptide vaccine constructed from various B cell epitopes of HER-2/neu. It has been shown in pre-clinical work and in one Phase 1 study to stimulate a potent polyclonal antibody response to HER-2/neu, a well-known and validated cancer target. HER-Vaxx’s successful Phase 1 study was in patients with breast cancer and the next stage of development will be a Phase 1b/2 study in patients with gastric cancer initiating in 2016.

In January 2016 Imugene announced a new partnership with the Medical University of Vienna to discover and develop mimotope-based immunotherapies against validated and new oncology targets. This partnership has the potential to create game-changing B Cell peptide vaccines that would replace or augment conventional monoclonal antibodies.
