Innate Pharma Obtains €6.8M in Public Funding for Its COVID-19 Research And Development Activities

MARSEILLE, France, Aug. 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH – ISIN: FR0010331421; Nasdaq: IPHA) (“Innate” or the “Company”) today announced the Company has obtained funding of €6.8M under the PSPC-COVID call for projects to support the Company’s COVID-19 research and development activities. This initiative is operated on behalf of the State by Bpifrance as part of the Programme d’investissements d’avenir (PIA), led by the Secrétariat général pour l’investissement (SGPI)

is a program established by the French government at the beginning of the pandemic to support the development of therapeutic solutions with a preventative or curative aim for COVID-19. Its objective is to finance research and development work, including Phase I or Phase II clinical trials carried out with French academic partners.  

This funding will enable the Company to cover the development of its current COVID-19 activities which began in March 2020, including the EXPLORE COVID-19 translational research study and its two Phase II clinical trials, FORCE and ImmunONCOVID-20.

As part of this agreement with Bpifrance, the funding will be received in four consecutive tranches. The first tranche of €1.7M was received at signing, and the three remaining tranches will be received upon achievement of certain clinical milestones, particularly around the FORCE Phase II trial. 

Each tranche is structured as follows: 20% as a non-reimbursable grant and 80% as an advance reimbursable only upon technical and commercial success.

“We are pleased to have been selected for this funding by the French government in this effort to improve the prognosis of COVID-19 patients,” said Laure-Hélène Mercier, Chief Financial Officer at Innate Pharma. “Through this government initiative, we are able to contribute to an area of high medical need, in partnership with the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Marseille – AP‑HM and the Centre Léon Bérard, while managing the financial considerations of high-risk research as the dynamic of the pandemic continues to evolve in France.”    

About Innate Pharma COVID-19 R&D Activities*

Innate has partnered with several France-based hospitals and academic centers to conduct three research and development programs:

EXPLORE COVID-19: This exploratory translational study, in collaboration with La Timone, North and Laveran hospitals and the Marseille Immunopôle/AP-HM immunoprofiling laboratory at La Timone hospital, Marseille, analyzed the immune response of COVID-19 patients at varying stages of disease and found that patients who progress towards severe COVID-19 disease exhibit an activation of the C5a/C5aR1 pathway. Study results were published in on July 29, 2020.

FORCE (FOR COVID-19 Elimination): Based on the findings from EXPLORE COVID-19, the Company launched the FORCE trial, sponsored by the Hôpitaux Universitaires de Marseille – AP‑HM). The primary objective of this Phase II trial is to improve the proportion of COVID-19 patients with severe pneumonia who no longer need to be hospitalized, and to reduce the need for and duration of mechanical ventilation in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome.

ImmunONCOVID-20: This controlled, randomized, study, sponsored by the Centre Léon Bérard, Lyon, is exploring monalizumab, a potentially first-in-class immune checkpoint inhibitor, and avdoralimab, amongst other treatment arms, to investigate the potential efficacy against COVID‑19 in cancer patients with mild symptoms and pneumonia respectively.
