Immunome Antibody Cocktail (IMM-BCP-01) Neutralizes the SARS-CoV-2 Delta Variant in Pre-clinical Testing

Excerpt from the Press Release:

EXTON, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Immunome, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMNM), a biopharmaceutical company that utilizes its human memory B cell platform to discover and develop first-in-class antibody therapeutics, announced today that its three-antibody cocktail (IMM-BCP-01) has demonstrated potent neutralizing activity against the SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant in pre-clinical pseudovirus testing. Furthermore, IMM-BCP-01 showed in-vitro activity via non-neutralizing mechanisms, such as complement fixation, which Immunome expects will enable viral clearance.

“IMM-BCP-01’s ability to maintain neutralizing activity against emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants, including the Delta variant, potentially positions our drug candidate as a long-term solution to the changing threat posed by COVID-19. We believe our lead candidate’s mechanism of action, targeting at least three non-overlapping epitopes – informed by authentic human immune response – provides a robust defense against future mutational drift,” said Purnanand Sarma, PhD, President & CEO of Immunome. “Currently, the delta variant accounts for a majority of coronavirus cases in the United States.”

Immunome was awarded a $17.6 million technology award from the U.S. Department of Defense’s Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND), in collaboration with the Defense Health Agency, to support Immunome’s COVID program.
