Its lead product candidate is the eftilagimod alfa (efti or IMP321), a soluble LAG-3lg fusion based on LAG-3 immune control mechanism for the treatment of different types of cancers. The company's product pipeline also includes TACTI-004, which is in phase III clinical trial for the treatment of first line non-small cell lung cancer (1L NSCLC); TACTI-003, which is in phase IIb clinical trial to treat first line head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC); INSIGHT-005 which is in phase I for metastatic urothelial carcinoma; TACTI-002, which in phase II trial for the treatment NSCLC and HNSCC; AIPAC-003, which is in phase II/III clinical trial to treat metatastic breast cancer; and EFTISARC-NEO, which is in phase II clinical trial for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma. It also develops INSIGHT-003, which is in phase I trial 1L non squamous NSCL; INSIGHT-005 that is in phase I to treat metastatic urothelial cancer; IMP761, which is in phase I Trial to treat autoimmune disease; IMP731 for oncology and autoimmune diseases; and LAG525. Immutep has collaboration with Merck & Co., Inc., EOC Pharma, Novartis, and Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings.

IMMP: 20-F · periodic report
Immutep filed its FY2026 annual report (fiscal year ended June 30, 2026) showing a net loss of A$79.3 million, widened from A$61.4 million a year earlier, with no products approved for commercial sale.
The most significant clinical development was the March 2026 discontinuation of TACTI-004, the registrational Phase III trial of lead asset eftilagimod alfa in 1st line NSCLC, after a planned interim futility analysis. This triggered an A$3.1 million non-cash impairment of efti-related IP, and an ongoing root cause analysis identified subtle structural differences between 2,000L and 200L scale manufactured efti as potentially relevant to the failed outcome.
During the year, Immutep signed a strategic licensing deal with Dr. Reddy's Laboratories covering efti in all markets outside its own territory, with potential milestones of up to US$349.5 million plus royalties, while Novartis terminated the IMP701 (ieramilimab) license in August 2026.
The company also cured a Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency by changing its ADS ratio to 1 ADS per 200 ordinary shares effective September 28, 2026, and flags reliance on WuXi Biologics manufacturing against potential BIOSECURE Act restrictions as a key supply-chain risk.

IMMP: 6-K · delisting
Immutep received written notification from Nasdaq dated 12 October 2026 confirming it regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
Nasdaq determined the closing bid price of Immutep's ADSs was at or above US$1.00 for 10 consecutive business days from 28 September to 9 October 2026, and the matter is now closed. The company had been notified in April 2026 that its ADSs traded below US$1.00 for 30 consecutive business days.
To cure the deficiency, Immutep changed its ADS ratio from 1 ADS per 10 ordinary shares to 1 ADS per 200 ordinary shares effective 28 September 2026. The change did not affect ordinary shares, which continue trading on the ASX under IMM, while ADSs remain on Nasdaq as IMMP.
The resolution removes a listing overhang for the late-stage LAG-3 immunotherapy developer, though the ADS ratio change itself was a dilution-neutral structural fix rather than a fundamental improvement.

IMMP: 6-K · reverse split
Immutep announced a change to its ADS ratio, effective at the open on 28 September 2026: from 1 ADS = 10 ordinary shares to 1 ADS = 200 ordinary shares, equivalent to a 1-for-20 reverse split for ADS holders. The number of ordinary shares (1,473,721,306) and ASX holdings are unchanged, with no dilution or shareholder approval required.
The move is a technical step to regain compliance with Nasdaq's US$1.00 minimum bid price rule, after Immutep was notified on 30 April 2026 that its ADSs traded below US$1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. The ADS must close at or above US$1.00 for at least 10 consecutive business days before the compliance period ends on 26 October 2026.
New ADS CUSIP 45257L207 replaces 45257L108, with roughly 1.64 million ADSs outstanding post-change versus about 32.8 million before; fractional entitlements will be paid in cash by BNY with no fee. The Board said it set a generous margin above US$1.00 because a repeat deficiency within 12 months would not earn a new compliance period.

IMMP: 6-K · clinical trial
Immutep outlined a focused development strategy for eftilagimod alfa (efti), directing future registration-directed trials toward head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in PD-L1-negative patients (CPS < 1) and the neoadjuvant setting of soft tissue sarcoma.
Root cause analysis following the early discontinuation of the TACTI-004 study identified subtle structural differences, such as an N-glycan variation, between efti made at 200 L scale — used across ten GMP batches in successful Phase I and II trials — and the 2,000 L scale material used exclusively in TACTI-004, prompting a new 200 L manufacturing run.
With Fast Track designation in 1L HNSCC and Orphan Drug Designation for soft tissue sarcoma granted in April 2026, the company is targeting study start in 2H CY2027, with licensing partner Dr. Reddy's Laboratories consulted and supportive.
The update leaves Immutep's lead program timeline extended and dependent on trial design decisions, regulatory interactions, manufacturing timelines, partnering discussions and additional funding, while development of IMP761 for autoimmune disease continues as planned.

IMMP: 6-K · periodic report
Immutep filed its FY2026 annual results (year ended 30 June 2026) via 6-K, reporting a net loss after tax of A$79.3 million, up 29.1% from A$61.4 million in FY2025, with a basic loss per share of 5.39 cents versus 4.22 cents.
Total revenue and other income more than doubled to A$24.2 million — the highest in a decade — driven by A$14.6 million of license revenue from partner Dr Reddy's. Immutep received a US$20 million upfront payment in January 2026 and repaid US$10 million of it in June 2026 following the discontinuation of its Phase III TACTI-004 study.
R&D and IP expenses rose to A$91.9 million, including a A$3.1 million non-cash impairment of the efti patent intangible, and operating cash outflow was A$55.5 million. The company held A$68.9 million in cash and term deposits at year-end, affirmed going concern, and expects significantly lower losses in FY2027 after cost reductions and headcount cuts tied to the TACTI-004 wind-down.
A key watch item: in April 2026 Immutep received a Nasdaq notice that its ADSs no longer meet the US$1.00 minimum bid price requirement, with a 180-day compliance window expiring on 26 October 2026. Management also made Dr Stephan Winckels permanent Chief Medical Officer effective 1 July 2025.

IMMP: 6-K · clinical trial
Immutep reported a cash position of A$68.87 million as of June 30, 2026, providing a runway extending into H1 2028 despite a US$10 million repayment to Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories following the discontinuation of the TACTI-004 Phase III trial. The company has implemented cost-reduction measures including headcount reductions to preserve capital. The root cause analysis for the TACTI-004 futility outcome remains ongoing with an update expected in Q3 2026.
Clinical updates included positive results from the INSIGHT-003 Phase I trial, which showed a median overall survival of 30.9 months in first-line non-small cell lung cancer. The EFTISARC-NEO Phase II trial in soft tissue sarcoma met its primary objective, and the IMP761 autoimmune program reported encouraging first-in-human safety and pharmacodynamic data.
Novartis AG notified Immutep of the termination of the out-license agreement for ieramilimab (LAG525) effective August 9, 2026. Immutep will regain full ownership of the jointly owned LAG-3 patents, though the license was not generating revenue.
