Hervé Brailly, Chief Executive Officer of Innate Pharma, commented: "This first half of 2015 marked a major milestone in Innate Pharma’s corporate development with the signature of a landmark co-development and commercialization agreement in April with AstraZeneca to broaden and accelerate the development of IPH2201.

This agreement is a major step towards our corporate goal of further maturing the Company and developing capabilities in late stage development and potential commercial stage by keeping some co-development and co-promotion rights.

In the second half of 2015, additional Phase II clinical trials for IPH2201 will be opened and IPH4102 will start a multi-centric Phase I trial, becoming our third first-in-class, clinical-stage asset. With our increased financial flexibility, we are intensifying our efforts in R&D to enrich our pipeline of first-in-class proprietary antibodies.

As important new clinical data on lirilumab is generated, Innate Pharma is on track to leverage its unique positioning in the very promising area of immuno-oncology."
