Imugene - Checkpoint inhibitor vaccine programme accelerated

Imugene has in-licenced a pipeline of B-cell vaccines that complements and advances its in-house programme. The deal has brought forward significant value-creation opportunities while maintaining Imugene’s focus on B-cell vaccine technologies. It accelerates the key PD-1 and PD-1/HER2 combo programmes by two years compared to its original pipeline. The company is well funded to accelerate key clinical studies for the newly combined pipeline. Our valuation is A$147m or 4.1 cents per share.
