Immune Design Releases New PFS, OS and TME Data from Trials of Three Immuno-Oncology Product Candidates

LV305, CMB305 and G100 Data at ASCO and June 8 NYC Update Event

SEATTLE and SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immune Design (Nasdaq:IMDZ), a clinical-stage immunotherapy company focused on oncology, today announced updated results from clinical trials of three immuno-oncology product candidates demonstrating promising and potentially clinically meaningful anti-tumor immune responses for Immune Design's lead products. This includes data presented at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting and involves Immune Design's two distinct immunotherapy applications — the ‘Specific Antigen' and ‘Endogenous Antigen' Approaches.

"The data reflect single agent Phase 1 studies and provide strong rationale for continued development, including our ongoing randomized Phase 2 studies," said Carlos Paya, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe both of our approaches are disruptive and have the potential to impact the immunotherapy treatment landscape."

LV305 & CMB305: Specific Antigen Approach Targeting NY-ESO-1 Positive Tumors — Emerging Profile of Prolonged Survival Benefit

LV305 Phase 1 single agent trial completed in 24 patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma cancers expressing NY-ESO-1 (ASCO abstract #3093)
Median overall survival (OS) has not been reached. One-year survival is 81%.
Median progression free survival (PFS) is 4.6 months.
14 patients (58%) had clinical benefit: One patient (4%) had a late-onset partial response and 13 patients (54%) had stable disease.
7/11 patients with pretreatment progressive disease (PD) had SD or PR following LV305.
Safety profile is very favorable, with only Grade 1/2 adverse effects (AEs).
CMB305 Phase 1 single agent trial ongoing in patients with NY-ESO-1 positive soft tissue sarcomas (preliminary analysis of first 14 patients)
Median OS has not been reached. 93% (13/14 patients) survival to date.
Median PFS is 5.5 months.
Best response to date is stable disease (10/14, 71%)
Safety profile is very favorable, with only Grade 1/2 AE
G100: Intratumoral Immune Activation Approach: Transforming "cold" tumors to "hot" tumors

G100 single agent and in combination with radiation in patients with Merkel cell carcinoma (ASCO Abstract #3021)
In final results from 10 patients, G100 produced a 50% overall response rate (ORR) per protocol, including a pathologic complete response (CR) following single agent G100 alone.
Four patients remain relapse-free in long-term follow up (range 13+ to 27.5+ months).
Analysis of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in G100-treated patients demonstrates the transformation of a "cold" to a "hot" tumor: increase of innate immune molecules that favor immune cell chemotaxis; increased NK cells and M1 macrophage markers; and dendritic cell antigen presentation. In addition, trafficking of CD4 and CD8 T cells from the stroma into the tumor bed was observed.
These changes in the TME were most prominent in the G100 responding patients.
No treatment-related AEs where observed; all AEs were grade 1/2.
