Organization

Immunome, Inc., or the Company, is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of targeted oncology therapies. The Company believes that the pursuit of novel or underexplored targets will be central to the next generation of transformative therapies, and it is dedicated to developing targeted cancer therapies with first-in-class and best-in-class potential. The Company’s goal is to establish a broad pipeline of preclinical and clinical assets and successfully develop such assets into approved products for commercialization. To support that goal, the Company invests heavily in both business development and internal discovery platforms.

Immunome is advancing a program pipeline comprising one clinical and three preclinical assets. The clinical asset is AL102, an investigational gamma secretase inhibitor, or GSI, currently under evaluation in a Phase 3 trial for the treatment of desmoid tumors that was acquired from Ayala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. on March 25, 2024. The preclinical assets are IM-1021, a receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1, or ROR1, antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC; IM-3050, a fibroblast activation protein, or FAP, targeted radioligand therapy, or RLT, candidate; and IM-4320, an anti-IL-38 immunotherapy candidate.

On October 2, 2023, the Company completed its merger with Morphimmune Inc., or Morphimmune, a preclinical biotechnology company focused on developing targeted oncology therapies, and Morphimmune became a wholly owned subsidiary of Immunome.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception and expects to continue to incur losses from operations for the foreseeable future as it pursues development of its therapeutic candidates and other programs. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $352.3 million, non-restricted cash and cash equivalents of $269.7 million, and marketable securities of $40.0 million. The Company has not generated any product revenue to date and does not expect to generate product revenue until it successfully completes development and obtains regulatory approval for at least one of its product candidates.

Through March 31, 2024, the Company has funded its operations primarily through sales of equity securities and strategic partnerships and transactions as well as expense reimbursements from a government contract that ended in 2022. The Company expects that its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at March 31, 2024 are sufficient to fund its current and planned operating expenses and capital expenditures for at least 12 months from the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Beyond that date, the Company may need to raise additional capital through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances, and licensing arrangements to achieve its longer-term business objectives.
