"In the first half of 2018 we have continued to advance our innovative portfolio, both with our partnered and proprietary immuno-oncology programs. We are encouraged by the emerging clinical data from our lead antibody, monalizumab, and look forward to presenting the updated data set from the Phase I/II study of monalizumab in combination with cetuximab in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer at the upcoming ESMO (Free ESMO Whitepaper) 2018 congress," commented Mondher Mahjoubi, Chief Executive Officer of Innate Pharma. "Our commitment to continue the clinical development momentum remains a priority. Together with our partner AstraZeneca/MedImmune, we recently decided to recruit additional patients into the monalizumab plus cetuximab study to gain more experience in patients with advanced SCCHN** previously treated with anti-PD-1/L1. The Phase I trial evaluating IPH5401 in combination with durvalumab has been initiated and we look forward to share new data on IPH4102."
