Immutep Limited (IMMP)

Immutep Limited (IMMP) is an Australian biotechnology company focused on the development of immunotherapy treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases. The company's lead product candidate is eftilagimod alpha (efti), a soluble LAG-3Ig fusion protein that acts as a potential immunotherapy for cancer.

Efti is currently being evaluated in multiple clinical trials, including a Phase IIb trial in metastatic breast cancer and a Phase II trial in head and neck cancer. The drug has also demonstrated positive clinical activity in combination with other immunotherapies, such as pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. In addition to efti, Immutep has a pipeline of other product candidates that target immune checkpoint proteins, including IMP761, IMP701, and IMP731.

Immutep is also actively engaged in collaborations with other pharmaceutical and biotech companies, including Merck KGaA, EMD Serono, and Novartis. These collaborations provide Immutep with additional resources and expertise to advance its product pipeline and expand its clinical development efforts.
