IMUNON Reports Strong Enrollment Momentum In Phase 3 OVATION 3 Trial Of IMNN-001 In Advanced Ovarian Cancer

IMUNON, Inc. provided a progress update on its pivotal Phase 3 OVATION 3 trial of IMNN-001 in patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer. Since initiating the trial, the Company has observed rapid site activation and an enrollment rate that is exceeding its forecast. The trial advanced from protocol submission to site activation in approximately 6 months and from protocol approval to first patient randomized in approximately 2 months, a third of the time of the external industry benchmark. The currently observed study-level enrollment rate of approximately 0.5 patients per site per month meaningfully exceeds the assumed rate of 0.3 patients per site per month used in the trial plan. That planning assumption was already set at a premium relative to the Company’s OVATION 2 experience and to historical industry ovarian cancer trials, which have generally enrolled at approximately 0.2 patients per site per month. The strong OVATION 3 enrollment is supported by highly promising clinical and biomarker data, most notably the overall survival (OS) evidence from the large, randomized Phase 2 OVATION 2 study and a high rate of conversion from pre-screening to randomization underscores strong interest in the trial by investigators and patients. More than 70% of sites are currently meeting or exceeding the assumed average enrollment rate of 0.3 patients per month. The Company now projects enrollment to be completed in the second quarter of 2029. Two pre-planned interim analyses are expected with the goal of early BLA filing for full regulatory approval if they achieve the pre-specified threshold. IMNN-001 has continued to demonstrate a highly favorable safety and tolerability profile, with no observed episodes of cytokine release syndrome, systemic toxicities or serious immune-related adverse events that have historically foiled the use of IL-12 to effectively treat cancer patients. Safety profiles have been comparable between the two arms of the study (IMNN-001 plus neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy {N/ACT} versus N/ACT alone), consistent with observations from the Company’s ongoing Phase 2 Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) study. No safety issues have been raised in recent Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) reviews of either ongoing study. The pivotal Phase 3 OVATION 3 trial is evaluating intraperitoneal IMNN-001 at 100 mg/m² in combination with standard-of-care neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients with newly diagnosed advanced epithelial ovarian cancer. The trial is enrolling an all-comers population that includes both homologous recombination-deficient and homologous recombination-proficient patients; eligible patients who respond to first-line platinum-based chemotherapy will proceed to PARP inhibitor maintenance according to applicable guidelines and prescribing information. The primary endpoint is overall survival, with secondary endpoints including chemotherapy response score, surgical response score at interval debulking surgery, time to second-line treatment or death, and objective response rate. Designed using IMUNON's proprietary TheraPlas platform technology, IMNN-001 is an IL-12 DNA plasmid encased in a nanoparticle delivery system that enables cell transfection followed by persistent, local production of the IL-12 protein. IL-12 is one of the most active cytokines for the induction of potent anticancer immunity acting through the induction of T-lymphocyte and natural killer cell proliferation. IMUNON previously reported positive safety and encouraging Phase 1 results with IMNN-001 administered as monotherapy or as combination therapy in patients with advanced peritoneally metastasized primary or recurrent ovarian cancer and completed a Phase 1b dose-escalation trial (the OVATION 1 Study) of IMNN-001 in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel neoadjuvantly in patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer. IMUNON previously reported positive results from the recently completed Phase 2 OVATION 2 Study, which assessed IMNN-001 (100 mg/m2 administered intraperitoneally weekly) plus neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy (N/ACT) of paclitaxel and carboplatin compared to standard-of-care N/ACT alone in 112 patients with newly diagnosed advanced ovarian cancer.
