AIPAC Phase IIb starts randomised component

Prima BioMed maintains its leadership in LAG-3 immunotherapies with the initiation of the randomised Phase IIb component of the AIPAC trial of IMP321 in breast cancer. In addition, the TACTI-Mel study of IMP321 combined with Keytruda in melanoma is expected to complete recruitment and report safety data in mid-2017, while the pipeline now includes a first-in-class Lag-3 agonist antibody. Initial efficacy data on the first 15 patients in AIPAC is also expected mid-year. We have revised development timelines for in-house and partnered LAG-3 programmes, which sees our valuation decrease to A$252m or A$0.12/share (vs A$282m or A$0.14/share).
