Immuneering Corporation Presents Genetic Data Demonstrating Mechanism to Improve Durability and Survival Supporting Use of Atebimetinib in First-Line Pancreatic Cancer Immuneering Corporation announced the presentation of new genetic data at the 2026 American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting taking place April 17-22, 2026 in San Diego, CA. Analysis of circulating tumor DNA from atebimetinib-treated patients shows acquired MAPK pathway alterations are rare, supporting observed durable first-line activity. Atebimetinib-treated tumors rarely acquire the genetic alterations most commonly associated with resistance to RAS inhibitors, providing molecular rationale to treat with atebimetinib early. Inhibitors of RAS, RAF, or MEK often provide only temporary benefit due to pervasive resistance, as tumors acquire new mutations or mechanisms of escape within the MAPK pathway. Atebimetinib, a novel Deep Cyclic Inhibitor of MEK, is engineered to mitigate the selective pressure that typically drives these resistance mechanisms, with the goal of more durable anti-tumor activity. Immuneering presented circulating tumor DNA data from 123 patients treated with atebimetinib, showing that acquired MAPK pathway alterations are rarely seen. These findings suggest that Deep Cyclic Inhibitors have the potential to overcome the limitations of conventional MAPK inhibition and provide a more sustained clinical benefit for patients, while potentially preserving sensitivity to subsequent treatments. Key Findings from the AACR Presentation: Rare MAPK pathway reactivation: Across 86 patients treated with atebimetinib monotherapy and 37 patients treated in combination with chemotherapy, emergent and acquired mutations rarely converged on the RAS/MAPK pathway, in contrast to what is commonly observed with chronic RAS-targeted therapies. Diffuse, non-convergent resistance patterns: Emergent resistance following atebimetinib treatment utilized a variety of non-MAPK pathways, rather than converging on a single escape mechanism. Limited early adaptive resistance: ctDNA analysis showed minimal early molecular evolution during treatment, indicating that atebimetinib is not driving adaptive resistance and may impose less selective pressure than continuous pathway inhibition. Taken together, the data position atebimetinib as a differentiated MEK inhibitor with potential to drive deep and durable antitumor activity.

Immuneering Corporation Presents Molecular Data From Atebimetinib-Treated Patients At AACR Annual Meeting Immuneering Corporation announced it will present a poster on one of the three key mechanisms by which atebimetinib aims to improve overall survival: shrinking tumors durably. The poster will be presented at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting taking place April 17-22, 2026 in San Diego, CA. Inhibitors of RAS, RAF, or MEK often provide only temporary benefit due to resistance, as tumors acquire new mutations or mechanisms of escape within the MAPK pathway. Atebimetinib, a novel Deep Cyclic Inhibitor of MEK, is engineered to mitigate the selective pressure that typically drives these resistance mechanisms, with the goal of more durable anti-tumor activity. Immuneering will present an analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from =64 patients with RAS-mutant solid tumors treated with atebimetinib, showing that acquired MAPK pathway alterations are rarely seen in patients treated with atebimetinib. These findings suggest that Deep Cyclic Inhibitors have the potential to overcome the limitations of conventional MAPK inhibition and provide a more sustained clinical benefit for patients. Title: Atebimetinib’s Deep Cyclic Inhibition of MEK Constrains MAPK-Axis Adaptive and Acquired Alterations in Patients with RAS-Mutant Tumors. Session Category: Experimental and Molecular Therapeutics. Session Title: Targeting Drug Resistance 2: RAS Signaling. Poster Number: 1873. Poster Board Number: 6. Session Date: April 20, 2026. Session Time: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM ET. Location: Poster Section 19. The abstract will be available on the AACR website. Immuneering’s lead product candidate, atebimetinib, is an oral, once-daily Deep Cyclic Inhibitor of MEK, designed to improve survival across many cancer indications, including MAPK pathway-driven tumors such as pancreatic cancer. The company expects to dose the first patient in mid-2026 in MAPKeeper 301, a globally randomized pivotal Phase 3 trial evaluating atebimetinib in combination with chemotherapy in first-line pancreatic cancer patients. The Company’s development pipeline also includes additional combination opportunities and early-stage programs. Announcement • Jan 08
Immuneering Corporation Announces Exceptional 64% Overall Survival At 12 Months in First-Line Pancreatic Cancer Patients Treated with Atebimetinib + mGnP Immuneering Corporation announced positive updated overall survival (OS) and safety data from its ongoing Phase 2a trial of atebimetinib (IMM-1-104) in combination with modified gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (mGnP) in first-line pancreatic cancer patients (N=34), with over 13 months median follow up time. 64% overall survival at 12 months in first-line pancreatic cancer patients treated with atebimetinib in combination with mGnP. The consistently strong separation observed between the overall survival in the clinical trial of atebimetinib in combination with mGnP in first-line pancreatic cancer patients and the benchmark for standard of care GnP from the MPACT study has now held at 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. Having recently reached alignment on the planned pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial design with the FDA and EMA, with overall survival as the primary endpoint, the company plans to dose the first patient in the MAPKeeper 301 pivotal trial in mid-2026, as it moves to bring this new treatment option to patients as expeditiously as possible. Atebimetinib (320mg dosed once-daily) + mGnP demonstrated remarkable OS at 12 months (median follow up of 13.4 months) in first-line pancreatic cancer patients (N=34), with the median OS not yet reached as of the data cutoff date of December 15, 2025. The MPACT pivotal trial for the standard of care benchmark, gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel, reported significantly lower OS as noted below. 64% OS observed at 12 months; standard of care benchmark reported a 35% OS at 12 months. 83% OS observed at 9 months; standard of care benchmark reported a ~47% OS at 9 months. 94% OS observed at 6 months; standard of care benchmark reported a 67% OS at 6 months. Confirmed Overall Response Rate (ORR) of 39% at 12 months; standard of care benchmark reported an ORR of 23%. Disease Control Rate (DCR) of 81% at 12 months; standard of care benchmark reported a DCR of 48%. Median Progression Free Survival (mPFS) of 8.5 months; standard of care benchmark reported a mPFS of 5.5 months. Unless otherwise specified, all data are reported using a data cutoff date of December 15, 2025, from the same patient cohort (N=34) as previously reported in September 2025. The estimates of (and other references to) standard of care set forth above with respect to the 6- and 12-month follow-up data were reported directly from the publicly available third-party MPACT pivotal trial data for gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. The estimates of (and other references to) standard of care with respect to the nine-month follow-up data were extrapolated and reconstructed by the Company based on the publicly available third-party MPACT pivotal trial data for gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel. The Company’s Phase 1/2a clinical trial of atebimetinib does not include a head-to-head comparison against any other agents, and caution should be exercised when comparing data across trials. The Company believes these compelling updated OS data reflect the potential for a durable, compounding benefit with atebimetinib + mGnP in first-line pancreatic cancer patients. As of the data cutoff date of December 15, 2025, atebimetinib (320mg dosed once-daily) + mGnP continued to demonstrate a favorable tolerability profile in first-line pancreatic cancer patients (N=34), with only two categories of adverse events observed at the Grade 3 level in more than 10% of patients (neutropenia and anemia, both of which are categories commonly observed with standard of care chemotherapy and were previously noted in the September 2025 update). No new safety signals were identified. In the first half of 2026 the company plans to provide an update on an expanded cohort of over 50 first-line pancreatic cancer patients, which includes both the original 34 patients and additional patients previously announced to be enrolled, who are approaching sufficient median follow up time for presentation. The overall survival in the expanded cohort is trending consistently with what has been reported in the original 34 patients. Immuneering is planning for several near-term anticipated milestones related to atebimetinib, including: Second Quarter 2026: Report updated circulating tumor DNA data on acquired alterations at a major scientific meeting. 1H 2026: Report updated survival data from over 50 first-line pancreatic cancer patients treated with atebimetinib + mGnP. Mid-2026: Dose first patient in pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of atebimetinib in combination with mGnP in first-line pancreatic cancer. 2H 2026: Dose first patient in trial of atebimetinib in combination with Libtayo in non-small cell lung cancer.

While approved MEK inhibitors mainly benefit a subset of patients with BRAF-driven tumors, IMM-1-104 was designed to improve tolerability and expand indications to include RAS-mutated tumors such as those found in most pancreatic cancers. Updated Data from Phase 2a Arm Evaluating IMM-1-104 with Modified Gemcitabine/nab-Paclitaxel in First Line Pancreatic Cancer as of December 5, 2024: As of December 5, 2024, three patients in the Phase 2a arm evaluating IMM-1-104 with modified gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in first-line pancreatic cancer achieved complete or partial responses for an overall response rate of 43% (3/7) and disease control rate of 86% (6/7). Four patients remain on treatment. Benchmarks for gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel alone in first-line pancreatic cancer patients were established by the Phase 3 MPACT study, which included 1 Complete Response (CR) out of 431 patients, a 23% Overall Response Rate, and a 48% Disease Control Rate Benchmarks for modified (m) Gemcitabine/nab-Paclitaxel, the less intensive regimen utilized in the IMM-1-104 Phase 2 combination arm, include an 18.6% ORR. A favorable tolerability profile was observed for IMM-1-104 in combination with modified Gemcitabine/nab-Paclitaxel. Initial Data from Phase 2a Arm Evaluating IMM-1-104 with Modified FOLFIRINOX in First Line Pancreatic Cancer as of December 5, 2024: As of December 5, 2024, all evaluable patients (n=4) experienced target tumor shrinkage and disease control, with one patient achieving a 100% reduction (PR). The combination of IMM-1-104 plus modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) was observed to be generally well tolerated. The Company is currently evaluating the 320 mg QD dose of IMM-1-104 in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX. Initial Data from Phase 2a Arm Evaluating IMM-1-104 Monotherapy in Second Line Pancreatic Cancer as of December 5, 2024: As of December 5, 2024, eleven of the twenty-one evaluable patients treated in the Phase 2a arm assessing IMM-1-104 as monotherapy in second-line pancreatic cancer achieved disease control, including one patient with 67% target lesion shrinkage (PR). Nine patients remain on treatment.IMM-1-104 monotherapy was observed to be very well tolerated in second-line pancreatic cancer patients, suggesting that IMM-1-104 may be highly suitable for both monotherapy and combination therapy. Immuneering previously announced that IMM-1-104 received Fast Track designation from the FDA for the treatment of first- and second-line pancreatic cancer, along with orphan drug designation. The FDA also recently granted Fast Track designation for IMM-1-104 as a treatment for patients with unresectable or metastatic NRAS-mutant melanoma who have progressed on or are intolerant to PD-1/PD-L1 based immune checkpoint inhibitors. Today’s data update follows initial data that was presented in September 2024 on the trial’s arm studying IMM-1-104 in combination with modified gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in first-line pancreatic cancer. Immuneering also announced initial pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and safety data from the Phase 1 portion of the company’s Phase 1/2a trial of IMM-6-415.

IMM-6-415 is a Deep Cyclic Inhibitor (DCI) of the MAPK pathway designed with unique drug-like properties including a shorter half-life than IMM-1-104 for an accelerated cadence that will be evaluated as an oral, twice-daily treatment in humans. In animal studies, IMM-6-415 strongly inhibited the growth of tumors with RAF or RAS mutations, as both a monotherapy and in combinations. During the 2023 AACR-NCI-EORTC conference, Immuneering presented data showing that IMM-6-415 in combination with encorafenib achieved greater tumor growth inhibition and improved durability when compared head-to-head with binimetinib plus encorafenib, in animal models of RAF mutant melanoma and colorectal cancer, consistent with the thesis that DCI can outperform chronic MAPK inhibition. The Phase 1 portion of the Phase 1/2a clinical trial is an open-label study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of IMM-6-415 in patients with advanced RAF/RAS mutant solid tumors. The trial will include solid tumor patients with any mutation in RAF, KRAS, NRAS, or HRAS who meet the enrollment criteria. The Phase 1 portion of the trial will evaluate IMM-6-415 following a Bayesian mTPI-2 escalation design, which includes a dose escalation phase and dose evaluation phase to establish a candidate recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), with the RP2D to be evaluated in specific tumor cohorts in the Phase 2a portion of the trial.

Immuneering Announces Positive Topline Results from Phase 1 Portion of Its Phase 1/2A Clinical Trial of IMM-1-104 in Ras-Mutant Solid Tumors Immuneering Corporation announced positive topline results from the ongoing Phase 1 portion of its Phase 1/2a clinical trial of IMM-1-104 in advanced RAS-mutant solid tumors. Topline Results from IMM-1-104 Study Phase 1 Portion Safety and Tolerability Results: As of February 20, 2024 (N=41), IMM-1-104 has been well-tolerated, with the potential for a differentiated safety profile. Among treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) occurring in greater than 10% of patients, no grade 4 TRAEs were observed, only one grade 3 TRAE was observed (a non-serious rash that was reversible), and a modest number of grade 2 TRAEs were observed in each category. No TRAEs were deemed serious. Deep Cyclic Inhibition Proof of Concept for IMM-1-104: As of February 20, 2024 (N=19), patient plasma data showed IMM-1-104 at 320mg inhibiting phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (pERK) at a level of 90% or greater for 2.7 hours, before returning to near-zero levels in advance of 24 hours. IMM-1-104 at a 240mg dose achieved 90% or greater levels of pERK inhibition for 1.9 hours, before returning to near-zero levels in advance of 24 hours. Immuneering evaluated both 240mg and 320mg QD as prospective doses for the Phase 2a portion of its Phase 1/2a study. Based on data from this trial, Immuneering selected a candidate RP2D of 320mg QD. Universal-RAS Proof of Concept for IMM-1-104: As of February 20, 2024 (N=22), 100% of evaluable patients profiled by ctDNA and treated with IMM-1-104 experienced no new acquired alterations in RAS. Excluding two patients treated with IMM-1-104 at 160mg (which Immuneering believes to be a sub-therapeutic dose), no new acquired alterations in MAPK pathway genes were observed, suggesting that there was no mutation in the MAPK pathway that a tumor could use to evade IMM-1-104. Initial Signs of Clinical Activity: While clinical activity was not an endpoint of the Phase 1 portion of the trial, Immuneering believes data generated as of the cutoff date of February 20, 2024 show promising signs for IMM-1-104’s potential clinical activity: 53% of patients had = 1 target lesion(s) regress when treated with IMM-1-104 at either 320mg or 240mg. Best individual lesion regressions were -35.7% at 320mg in second-line setting (vs. -11.4% at 240mg). Best RECIST SLD was -18.9% at 320mg in second-line setting (vs. -7.1% at 240mg). Longest duration on therapy was 162 days (5+ months) at 240mg, with no TRAEs. Immuneering plans to present further data from the ongoing Phase 1 portion of its Phase 1/2a study of IMM-1-104 in advanced RAS-mutant solid tumors at a future medical meeting. Immuneering’s Phase 1 portion of its Phase 1/2a clinical trial is an open-label study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and preliminary efficacy of IMM-1-104 in patients with advanced RAS mutant solid tumors. The Phase 1 portion is being conducted at five clinical sites in the United States. Data from the Phase 1 portion led to Immuneering’s candidate RP2D of 320mg for IMM-1-104. The Phase 2a portion is expected to include up to twenty clinical sites and has already dosed its first patient. Near-Term Milestone Expectations IMM-1-104 Initial data from multiple arms of the Phase 2a portion of Immuneering’s Phase 1/2a study of IMM-1-104 expected in 2024. IMM-6-415 First patient in Phase 1/2a trial of IMM-6-415 expected to be dosed in March 2024. New Risk • Mar 15

Immuneering Corporation Presents Preclinical Data Demonstrating Encouraging Anti-Tumor Activity for IMM-1-104 and IMM-6-415 at AACR-NCI-EORTC Conference Immuneering Corporation presented encouraging preclinical data for both IMM-1-104, its lead clinical-stage program, and IMM-6-415 at the AACR-NCI-EORTC International Conference on Molecular Targets and Cancer Therapeutics, taking place October 11-15, 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts. Details for the poster presentations are as follows: Title:Predicting activity of IMM-1-104 as single agent and in combination for patients with RAS or RAF mutant tumors Anti-tumor activity of IMM-1-104 was characterized in 193 tumor models spanning 20 distinct tumor types in the humanized 3D-tumor growth assay (3D-TGA) using cancer-specific, patient-aligned cell lines. IMM-1-104 demonstrated diverse responses across a wide range of MAPK-driven tumor types, including those with RAS or RAF mutations. Pharmacogenomic data were used to generate a model predictive of response to IMM-1-104 and identify biomarker-aligned patient subpopulations. Sensitivity to IMM-1-104 (IC50 < 1uM) tested in 3D-TGA cell lines was highest in melanoma (62.5%) followed by pancreatic cancer (35.0%) and lung cancer (16.7%). IMM-1-104 was tested in combination with gemcitabine or paclitaxel in humanized 3D models of pancreatic cancer, demonstrating enhanced activity and combination therapy potential. IMM-1-104 in combination with encorafenib drove deeper regressions and superior durability of response in a head-to-head in vivo comparison versus binimetinib plus encorafenib. Tumor growth inhibition (TGI) was between 89.8% and 95.2% with the IMM-1-104 plus encorafenib combination and 73.7% with the binimetinib plus encorafenib combination. Title:Deep Cyclic Inhibition of the MAPK pathway with IMM-6-415, alone and in combination with encorafenib, demonstrates anti-tumor activity and tolerability in RAF mutant tumors in vivo Anti-tumor activity of IMM-6-415 was evaluated in more than 60 humanized 3D-TGA models, which included 30 BRAF class I-mutant tumor models. Multiple drug-drug combinations have been explored, including vertical drug combinations with BRAF inhibitors. IMM-6-415, binimetinib and encorafenib were tested head-to-head as single agents and in combination with encorafenib in BRAFV600E melanoma and colorectal subcutaneous tumor xenograft models in female BALB/c nude mice. As monotherapy, IMM-6-415 demonstrated anti-tumor activity in over 50% (34 of 66) of the 3D-TGA models tested, including 30 BRAF mutant preclinical models in which 19 (63%) showed activity. Similar to IMM-1-104, resistant models either lacked an obvious MAPK pathway driver mutation or displayed parallel oncogenic activation events. Sensitive and intermediate responses were also strongly enriched for models harboring an activation mutation in RAS or RAF. Monotherapy treatment with encorafenib or IMM-6-415 displayed superior TGI when compared to binimetinib in the A-375 (melanoma) and HT-29 (colorectal) BRAFV600E tumor models. In combination with encorafenib, IMM-6-415 achieved a greater TGI in vivo than the combination of encorafenib plus binimetinib in BRAFV600E colorectal cancer and melanoma tumor models, suggesting an opportunity for IMM-6-415 as monotherapy or in combination regimens for the treatment of BRAF mutant tumors.

Immuneering Announces Submission of IND Application to the FDA for Phase 1/2A Trial of IMM-1-104 to Treat Advanced Solid Tumors with RAS Mutations Immuneering Corporation announced it submitted an Investigational New Drug (IND) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The IND application supports a Phase 1/2a clinical trial of IMM-1-104, an oral once daily small molecule in development for the treatment of advanced RAS mutant solid tumors. In contrast to the narrow approach of targeting specific mutations such as KRAS-G12C, IMM-1-104 is a third generation MEK inhibitor designed for broad pan-RAS activity as well as activity in other MAPK-activated tumors. Based on preclinical data to date, IMM-1-104 has demonstrated robust single-agent anti-tumor activity across a broad range of in vitro and in vivo tumor models driven by MAPK pathway activation events. This includes animal models of KRAS mutant pancreatic cancer, NRAS mutant melanoma, KRAS mutant colorectal cancer, and KRAS mutant lung cancer, regardless of the specific mutation upstream of MEK that drives activation of the MAPK pathway, and all while maintaining a well-tolerated safety profile in such models. "At Immuneering we aim to create medicines for all patients with tumors driven by RAS mutations and other challenging MAPK pathway activation events. In our animal studies, IMM-1-104 strongly inhibited the growth of some of the most aggressive and deadly RAS mutant tumor models out there, without the need to combine with other agents and with good preclinical tolerability. The preclinical data package for IMM-1-104 is uniquely compelling, and we are excited to now evaluate this compound in patients who so urgently need new options." The FDA will review the company's IND application and determine whether the data package is acceptable to predict the safety of IMM-1-104, before clinical trial initiation. In the interim, the company continues to prepare for the planned Phase 1/2a trial evaluating IMM-1-104 for the treatment of advanced solid tumors with RAS mutations. The company is planning to sponsor the recruitment of patients at five internationally recognized clinical sites in the United States. About IMM-1-104 IMM-1-104 aims to achieve pan-RAS activity that selectively impacts cancer cells to a greater extent than healthy cells. It is designed to be a highly selective third generation MEK inhibitor that modulates the signaling dynamics of the MAPK pathway by driving deep cyclic inhibition that deprives tumor cells of the sustained proliferative signaling required for rapid growth, while providing a cadenced, normalized level of signaling designed to spare healthy cells. IMM-1-104 is being developed to treat advanced solid tumors in patients harboring RAS mutations. Major Estimate Revision • Aug 17

Immuneering Reports Data in Two Preclinical Abstracts at the ASCO 2022 Annual Meeting Highlighting Pan-KRAS/NRAS Activity of IMM-1-104 Immuneering Corporation reported data in two preclinical abstracts at the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting highlighting the pan-KRAS/NRAS activity of IMM-1-104. Head-to-head comparison of the dual-MEK inhibitor IMM-1-104 versus sotorasib or adagrasib in KRAS mutant pancreatic tumors. In this preclinical study, Immuneering researchers tested IMM-1-104 in a head-to-head comparison versus agents including sotorasib and adagrasib, in a series of preclinical models to characterize differential activity of each compound against pancreatic tumors driven by diverse KRAS mutations. Cell-based 2D biochemical and 3D growth assays were performed across nine pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) models. The Capan-2 PDAC xenograft animal model was used to evaluate single agent activity of IMM-1-104 (75, 100, 150 mg/kg BID p.o. or 150 mg/kg QD p.o.) versus sotorasib or adagrasib (30 and 100 mg/kg QD p.o. each) for 21 days of treatment after tumors had reached volumes of 150 to 200 mm3. The head-to-head comparison in vivo demonstrated a lack of Tumor Growth Inhibition (TGI) by sotorasib and adagrasib in KRAS-G12V mutant Capan-2 PDAC tumors. In contrast, IMM-1-104 observed TGIs of 49-84% across all doses and schedules tested. Consistent with other IMM-1-104 in vivo studies, median body weight loss was no more than 3-5% at top doses. Translational modeling for patients with RAS mutant tumors: Profiling the dual-MEK inhibitor IMM-1-104 in a humanized 3D assay. In this preclinical study, Immuneering researchers characterized IMM-1-104’s pharmacologic activity across 52 tumor cell lines that spanned 11 distinct tumor types in a humanized, Extracellular Matrix (ECM)-based 3D tumor growth assay (3D-TGA). Tumor models were categorized based on in vivo drug PK limits as sensitive to IMM-1-104 (EC50<1uM), intermediate (1uM=EC50=10uM and =25% inhibition at 10uM), or resistant. Models sensitive to IMM-1-104 were enriched for MAPK driver mutations, consistent with pathway addiction. Models with a MAPK driver mutation and compensatory mutations such as PIK3CA or PTEN deletion were more likely to show intermediate response than those with a greater addiction to MAPK drivers. Models lacking a clear MAPK driver mutation but harboring other putative resistance alterations were more likely to be resistant in the 3D-TGA. KRAS mutant pancreatic cancer and NRAS mutant melanoma were the most broadly sensitive patient-aligned models in the 3D-TGA and thus will be included among the target indications for Immuneering’s planned Phase 1/2a clinical trial.

Immuneering Corporation Reports Preclinical Data on IMM-1-104 in NRAS Mutant Melanoma Model Immuneering Corporation announced preclinical data highlighting the potential of its lead product candidate, IMM-1-104, to inhibit tumor growth in NRAS mutant melanoma models. The data were submitted as a poster presentation at the recently postponed American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Special Conference: Targeting RAS (originally scheduled for January 7-10, 2022). Given that abstracts are not being published at this time due to postponement of the event, Immuneering is making available the data in a presentation titled “Head-to-Head Comparison of the Dual-MEK Inhibitor IMM-1-104 Versus Binimetinib in NRAS Mutant Melanoma Models,” by Peter King, PhD, Vice President and Head of Discovery at Immuneering on its website (www.immuneering.com/publications/). IMM-1-104 is a novel, allosteric dual-MEK inhibitor that is designed to disrupt phosphorylation of both MEK and its downstream target ERK and has a short plasma drug half-life, with the aim of enabling deep cyclic inhibition with a near-zero drug trough. The Company anticipates submission of an Investigational New Drug application (IND) for IMM-1-104 to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the third quarter of this year. In this preclinical study, Immuneering modeled binimetinib versus IMM-1-104 in SK-MEL-2 in vivo. SK-MEL-2 is a melanoma tumor cell line that displays a similar molecular profile to approximately half of the patients who participated in the Phase 3 NEMO study, displaying an NRAS-Q61R mutation. The NEMO study results showed binimetinib did not improve overall survival compared with dacarbazine (11.0 vs. 10.1 months, respectively) in NRAS mutant melanoma patients and, in fact, showed a 50% increase in serious adverse events (34% vs. 22%, respectively).
