Immuron (ASX: IMC; NASDAQ: IMRN) announced the completion of an interim analysis by the US Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) for a clinical trial evaluating a new oral therapeutic targeting Campylobacter and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC). The trial, unrelated to Travelan®, showed 10.4% protective efficacy against moderate to severe campylobacteriosis. This result does not impact Immuron's plans for Travelan®, including the upcoming end of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA and potential Phase 3 trials in 2H 2025.
The study, funded by NMRC, involved 27 volunteers in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. Immuron's role was to produce a hyperimmune bovine colostrum product using NMRC's campylobacter/ETEC vaccine. The findings will be presented at the 22nd International Workshop on Campylobacter, Helicobacter & Related Organisms (CHRO 2024) on October 7, 2024.
Immuron continues to collaborate with NMRC and Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) on developing new hyperimmune products targeting various pathogens, aiming to address the high-priority need for preventative treatments against enteric diseases in the US Military.
Immuron (ASX: IMC; NASDAQ: IMRN) has received positive feedback from the FDA on its pre-IND package for IMM-529, a potential treatment for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). The company plans to file an IND application in the first half of 2025, followed by a Phase 2 trial. IMM-529 targets three C. diff virulence components and has shown promising results in pre-clinical models, including prevention of primary disease, protection against recurrence, and treatment of primary disease.
CDI affects over 400,000 people annually in the US, contributing to over 30,000 deaths. Market assessment indicates potential yearly revenue of US$93M for IMM-529 if positioned for second recurrence treatment, with potential for up to US$141M if used after first recurrence. The oral dosing of IMM-529 is viewed favorably by infectious disease experts.
Immuron (ASX: IMC; NASDAQ: IMRN) has announced a new $3.5 million (USD $2.3 million) research award from the U.S. Department of Defense to advance the development of Travelan®. The funding is for the Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) and Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) to develop an enhanced formulation of Travelan, potentially expanding its coverage as a therapeutic measure against endemic military-relevant diarrheal pathogens.
The research will target key protective antigens of major enteric bacterial pathogens not present in the current product formulation. Immuron will negotiate a sub-award for collaboration with NMRC and WRAIR. This builds on the DoD's long-standing relationship with Immuron to evaluate Travelan's effectiveness against diarrheal pathogens, addressing a high-priority objective for the US Military in preventing infectious enteric diseases.
