Today, INmune Bio, Inc. announced that the Company will present a poster at the Alzheimer’s Association International Congress 2021, which is being held in a hybrid format, Denver and online, from July 26-30, 2021. In addition, Dr. Malu Tansey of the University of Florida College of Medicine and co-inventor of XPro1595 (pegipanermin), will deliver a plenary talk, entitled, “Therapeutic Approaches Targeting Innate Immunity in AD.” The Alzheimer’s Association International Conference brings together the world’s leading basic scientists, clinical researchers, early career investigators, clinicians and the care research community to share breaking research discoveries that will lead to methods of prevention and treatment and improvements in diagnosis for Alzheimer’s disease.
RJ Tesi, M.D., chief executive officer of INmune Bio (INMB)
“We are very pleased to participate in this year’s AAIC meeting and look forward to presenting a more detailed analysis of the positive data from our recently completed Phase 1b study of XPro1595 in Alzheimer’s. In that study, we were able to demonstrate that XPro1595 neutralizes soluble TNF and decreases biomarkers of neuroinflammation across multiple measures and assays in Alzheimer’s patients. The data suggest that decreasing neuroinflammation results in significant improvements in biomarkers of neurodegeneration and synaptic function. We look forward to initiating a blinded, randomized Phase 2 study by the end of this year as we continue to develop and advance novel therapeutics targeting dysfunction of the innate immune system,” stated RJ Tesi, M.D., chief executive officer of INmune Bio (INMB).
Details of the presentation are as follows:

About XPro1595 (pegipanermin)
XPro1595 is a next-generation inhibitor of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) that uses a dominant-negativeTNF technology that is very different from approved TNF inhibitors that block the effects of both soluble and trans-membrane TNF. Pegipanermin neutralizes soluble TNF, without affecting trans-membrane TNF or TNF receptors. XPro1595 could have substantial beneficial effects in patients with Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases by decreasing neuroinflammation.
