Notes to Editors
ImmuPharma PLC
ImmuPharma is a pharmaceutical development company listed since
2006 on AIM of the London Stock Exchange (LSE:IMM), focusing on
developing novel medicines with high sales potential in specialist
markets with serious unmet need. ImmuPharma is led by a
commercially focused Board and management team with extensive
experience.
Lupuzor(TM)
Lupuzor(TM) (also referred to as Forigerimod, or P140) is
ImmuPharma's lead compound and a potential treatment for lupus (or
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus), a chronic, potentially
life-threatening auto-immune disease. Lupuzor(TM) has a novel
mechanism of action aimed at modulating the body's immune system so
that it does not attack healthy cells, and avoids causing adverse
side effects. It has the potential to halt the progression of the
disease in a substantial proportion of patients.
Lupuzor(TM) has been granted Fast Track status by the US FDA and
approval to for its ongoing Phase III under Special Protocol
Assessment (SPA).
The pivotal Phase III clinical study is entitled "A 52-Week,
Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group, Placebo-Controlled Study
to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of a 200-mcg Dose of IPP-201101
Plus Standard of Care in Patients With Systemic Lupus
Erythematosus". It is a pivotal study designed to demonstrate the
safety and efficacy of IPP-201101 and as a last step prior to the
filing of the drug for approval with the US Food & Drug
Administration ("FDA") and the European Medicines Agency ("EMA").

Commercial Opportunity
There are an estimated five million people globally suffering
from Lupus, with approximately 1.5 million patients in the US,
Europe and Japan (Source: Lupus Foundation of America). Current
'standard of care' treatments, including steroids and
immunosuppressants, can potentially have either serious side
effects for patients or limited effectiveness, with over 60% of
patients not adequately treated. GSK's Benlysta is the first Lupus
drug approved in over 50 years and paves the path to market for
Lupuzor(TM). Based on conservative estimates, and taking into
account that Benlysta is priced currently at approximately $30,000
per patient per year, Lupuzor(TM) would be entering a market with
the potential for multi-billion dollar sales. For more information
