Immunome is dedicated to advancing best-in-class and first-in-class targeted oncology therapies.
Oncology
Immunotherapy
IMM20320 (IL-38)
Immunome’s lead program, IMM20320, targets IL-38, an immunosuppressive cytokine that plays a significant role in the IL-36 pathway. While that pathway was clinically validated in autoimmune disease with the approval of Spevigo, the relevance of IL-38 to cancer was highlighted by using Immunome’s Discovery Engine to interrogate the antibodies produced by a head and neck cancer patient.
Preclinical data shows that while IL-38 dampens immune response to tumors, blocking IL-38 leads to tumor control in two different in vivo models.1 Gene expression profiling of patient tumors suggests IL-38 is implicated in reduced immune infiltration in cancers of squamous origin, such as head & neck, gastroesophageal, and lung.2

Immunotherapy
Mi-1001 (Folate Receptor-Targeted TLR7a)
Toll-Like Receptor 7 (TLR7) is a promising oncology target that induces a robust immune response when activated. Our folate receptor targeted TLR7 agonist (FA-TLR7a) takes a unique approach, delivering its potent, proprietary payload directly to immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment. The possible result is a drug with monotherapy promise and the potential for synergistic activity when combined with checkpoint inhibitors.
Radioligand Therapy
177Lu-FAP
Immunome is advancing a Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) targeted radioligand therapy with multi-indication potential. FAP is a promising target that is expressed in over 75% of solid tumors including lung, breast, and esophageal cancer. However, current clinical FAP-targeted RLTs deliver less radiation to tumor than approved RLTs, likely rendering them insufficient for optimal anti-tumor activity.1
Immunome’s preclinical candidates are optimized using our Targeted Effector platform to enhance their PK properties and biodistribution, potentially leading to superior tumor absorbed dose and best-in-class efficacy.2 The program is derived from work performed in the laboratory of Dr. Philip Low at Purdue University, which also patented key components of Pluvicto™.
