Financial Summary

CEO Comment - First Quarter                              

Immunicum has completed a productive first quarter of 2019 with the inclusion of the first patient in the Phase Ib/II multi-indication checkpoint inhibitor combination study, ILIAD, and the publication of the final data analysis from the Phase I/II clinical trial in hepatocellular carcinoma in Frontiers in Oncology. Backed by the recent financing round, the Company is preparing for important near-term milestones aimed at providing additional validation of the potential of our lead candidate, ilixadencel.

Throughout the rest of the year, our central focus will remain on the upcoming data announcements from our clinical trials which include the global Phase II MERECA study in metastatic renal cell carcinoma and the Phase I/ II study in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). We also aim to provide an update from the recently initiated Phase Ib/II ILIAD study in head and neck cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

MERECA will for the first time provide data on ilixadencel in combination with Sutent® (sunitinib) versus Sutent® (sunitinib) alone. The study was designed to provide information on patient survival, safety, tumor-specific immune activation and potential clinical efficacy in kidney cancer patients. These results will be important to guide the further development of ilixadencel regardless of indication.

The Phase Ib/II ILIAD trial complements MERECA as it will test ilixadencel in a variety of indications as well as in combination with checkpoint inhibitors. It is important to note that the two trials are not dependent on each other; they represent our strategy to build a broad database supportive of ilixadencel becoming a backbone component of a range of cancer therapy regimens.

Apart from our focus on the upcoming results, our corporate goals for the remainder of the year include continuing to share Immunicum's story, scientific approach and progress with the international pharmaceutical industry as well as the scientific and financial communities. We will continue to pursue opportunities to present at scientific conferences in addition to publishing in medical journals where our data have been reviewed by leading, independent experts in the field.

Immunicum is off to a great start this year and has many exciting developments to come. With each data readout, we will gain more insights that will help steer the Company and enable us to effectively reach our corporate and clinical goals with the overarching vision of contributing to the fight against cancer.
