1. Nature of the business

Organization

Immunome, Inc., or the Company or Immunome, a clinical-stage targeted oncology company committed to developing targeted therapies designed to improve outcomes for cancer patients. Since its inception, the Company has devoted substantially all its resources to research and development, raising capital, building its management team, extending its intellectual property portfolio, and executing strategic partnerships and transactions. The Company is subject to risks and uncertainties common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, risks associated with research, development, and manufacturing activities, uncertain results of preclinical and clinical testing, development of new technological innovations and products by competitors, dependence on key personnel, partners and third-party vendors, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with government regulations, regulatory approval of products and the ability to secure additional capital to fund operations. 

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 December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $515.8 million, cash and cash equivalents of $143.4 million and marketable securities of $74.0 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 December 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 December 31, 2024, together with the proceeds received from the 2025 Financing (see Note 13), will be sufficient to fund its current and planned operating expenses and capital expenditures for at least 12 months from the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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.
