BOTHELL, Wash., March 19, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Immunome, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMNM), a biotechnology company focused on developing first-in-class and best-in-class targeted cancer therapies, today announced financial results for the full year ended December 31, 2024 and provided a business update.
"Immunome’s efficient execution in 2024 laid the foundation for a productive 2025," said Clay B. Siegall, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are pleased with the progress of our pipeline and, with multiple programs now in clinical development, we expect that our recent financing will support multiple clinical milestones. We particularly look forward to topline data in the second half of 2025 for the RINGSIDE trial of varegacestat, which we believe will demonstrate significant benefits for patients with desmoid tumors.
"Our highly capable team is achieving our vision of a broad, differentiated portfolio of ADCs. We recently dosed the first patient in the Phase 1 clinical trial of IM-1021, our ROR1-targeted ADC. Three additional novel ADCs, IM-1617, IM-1335 and IM-1340, are in IND-enabling manufacturing, with additional discovery-stage programs under evaluation. We recently submitted the IND for IM-3050, our FAP radiotherapy, and anticipate initiating a Phase 1 clinical trial for that program later this year."
