Company Advances Ebstrocel™ Toward Potential UK Approval
Company to Host Conference Call on November 5, 2026, at 4:30pm ET
BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INmune Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB) (the “Company”), a late-stage biotechnology company focused on inflammation and immunology, today announces its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, and provides a business update.
“INmune Bio is approaching regulatory milestones for Ebstrocel that can establish our first commercial product,” said David Moss, Chief Executive Officer of INmune Bio. “We have made substantial progress in manufacturing, regulatory preparation and international patient access, giving us increased confidence in our ability to bring Ebstrocel to patients suffering from recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB). We believe the strength of our clinical data, our alignment with the MHRA and our progress in manufacturing provide a compelling foundation for approval. Importantly, our agreement with Uniphar builds a framework that could provide access to patients in additional international markets ahead of broader commercial launches. We are focused on executing our regulatory strategy, building commercial readiness and allocating capital to the milestones that we believe will create the greatest value for patients and shareholders.”
2026 and Recent Corporate Highlights
CORDStrom™ Platform (Ebstrocel™):
- Submitted its final pre-Marketing Authorization Application (pre-MAA) package for Ebstrocel™ to the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) on October 20, 2026, marking an important milestone toward the Company's planned UK regulatory submission for the treatment of RDEB. Following agency feedback, INmune Bio plans to submit a complete MAA in early February 2027. Manufacturing progress supports the complete submission in place of the previously planned rolling review.
- The Company anticipates an MHRA response within three to six months after submission, supporting potential UK approval in mid-2027, subject to validation, agency review and requests for additional information. The application builds on prior MHRA written alignment across clinical, non-clinical and manufacturing elements and approval of the Pediatric Investigation Plan.
- Established an international access and commercialization framework with Uniphar to support potential named-patient access to Ebstrocel™ in selected European, Middle Eastern and North African markets. The agreement provides a pathway for physicians to request treatment for eligible patients where permitted by local regulations and could create opportunities for revenue before full commercial approval in individual markets. Implementation remains subject to country-specific arrangements and applicable regulatory and reimbursement requirements.
- Advanced preparations for a U.S. Biologics License Application (BLA), including engagement of rare-disease regulatory advisors to support a planned Type B meeting request with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Company currently targets a BLA submission mid-2027, subject to FDA feedback, and is prioritizing its U.S. submission ahead of a European Medicines Agency filing.
- Continued progress in commercial-scale manufacturing and supply chain readiness, supported by the Company's agreement with Anthony Nolan Cord Blood Bank for access to high-quality umbilical cord tissue. The Company's proprietary pooled-cell manufacturing approach is designed to improve product consistency, reduce donor variability and support scalable commercial supply.
- Advanced its CORDStrom™ platform patent application into the U.S. national phase following a favorable international written opinion. If granted, the patent family is expected to provide intellectual property protection extending into at least 2045.
DN-TNF Platform Development Strategy (XPro™):
The Company is evaluating rare diseases where XPro™’s selective inhibition of soluble TNF, existing preclinical and clinical evidence, and clinical development requirements could support a small, fast and capital-efficient program. The evaluation is being conducted in collaboration with Quantum Computing Inc., applying quantum optimization, artificial intelligence and conventional analytics to clinical, preclinical and public biomedical datasets to prioritize indications, patient populations and biomarkers. Qualifying rare pediatric indications could offer additional upside through the FDA’s Priority Review Voucher program, subject to a qualifying approval and applicable program requirements.
INmune Bio does not intend to commit Company capital to a new XPro™ clinical program until Ebstrocel™ is approved or dedicated XPro™ resources are in place. Indication selection, analysis and partnership discussions continue in the meantime.
Corporate:
- Received approximately $4.2 million through Australia's research and development rebate program in July 2026, following approximately $0.4 million received through the United Kingdom's R&D rebate program in June, providing non-dilutive funding to support ongoing development activities.
- In September, R. Duane Clark II and James Sapirstein joined the Board of Directors, adding rare-disease commercialization, business development and financing experience.
- Announced a registered direct offering of three million shares of common stock and a concurrent private placement of warrants to purchase up to three million common stock on October 28, 2026, with gross proceeds of $4.5 million before fees and expenses.
- Continued prioritizing financial resources toward Ebstrocel™ regulatory submissions, manufacturing readiness and the development of international patient access and distribution capabilities.
Upcoming Events and Milestones
- UK Regulatory Submission: Submission of a complete Ebstrocel Marketing Authorization Application to the MHRA targeted for early February 2027.
- Potential UK Approval: Anticipated MHRA review and response within approximately three to six months following submission, supporting the Company's expectation of potential UK approval in mid-2027, subject to validation, agency review and requests for additional information.
- U.S. Regulatory Submission: Planned FDA Type B meeting interaction to clarify the regulatory pathway, followed by a targeted BLA submission mid-2027, subject to agency feedback.
- International Patient Access: Continued implementation of the Uniphar framework to establish country-specific named-patient access and potential commercial distribution arrangements.
- XPro Development Strategy: Continued evaluation of rare-disease opportunities through the Quantum Computing collaboration and other analytical work, with the objective of selecting an indication for future development.
Financial Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2026
