Company also announces FDA End-of-Phase 2 in-person meeting to discuss Phase 3 trial of IMNN-001
Phase 3 trial is expected to begin in Q1 2025
The company’s lead clinical program IMNN-001, designed using IMUNON’s proprietary TheraPlas® platform technology, is an IL-12 DNA plasmid vector encased in a nanoparticle delivery system that enables cell transfection followed by persistent, local production and secretion of the IL-12 protein. IL-12 is one of the most active pluripotent cytokines for the induction of strong anti-cancer immunity acting through the induction of T-lymphocyte and natural killer cell proliferation, inhibition of tumor mediated immune suppression.
“We are pleased to have the opportunity to present new data from the Phase 2 OVATION 2 Study of IMNN-001 in a late-breaking session at SITC’s Annual Meeting,” said

About
The Company’s lead clinical program, IMNN-001, is a DNA-based immunotherapy for the localized treatment of advanced ovarian cancer that has completed Phase 2 development. IMNN-001 works by instructing the body to produce safe and durable levels of powerful cancer-fighting molecules, such as interleukin-12 and interferon gamma, at the tumor site. Additionally, the Company has entered a first-in-human study of its COVID-19 booster vaccine (IMNN-101).
