Immuron
submits IMM-529 pre-IND to FDA
Immuron
filed a pre-IND (investigational new drug) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for IMM529. The increased
incidence of antibiotic resistant ‘superbugs’ has amplified the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics worldwide. An unintended
consequence of antimicrobial treatment is disruption of the gastrointestinal microbiota, resulting in susceptibility to opportunistic
pathogens, such as Clostridioides difficile (C. diff). Paradoxically, treatment of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) also involves
antibiotic use, and the heavy reliance on antibiotics to control C. diff does not allow for the gut flora to regenerate and predisposes
the patient to relapsing CDI.
C.
diff is currently the most common pathogen in healthcare associated infections and was deemed an urgent threat in the Center for Disease
Control and Prevention’s report on antibiotic resistance threats in the United States (CDC, 2019). CDI affects over 400,000 people
in the US on a yearly basis, contributing to over 30,000 deaths in the US alone annually. This serious health threat has led to an urgent
call for the development of new therapeutics to reduce or replace the use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections.
To
address this need, Immuron is developing IMM-529 as an adjunctive therapy in combination with standard of care antibiotics for the prevention
and/or treatment of recurrent CDI. IMM-529 antibodies targeting C. diff may help to clear CDI infection and promote a quicker re-establishment
of normal gut flora, providing an attractive oral preventative for recurrent CDI.
Immuron
is collaborating with Dr. Dena Lyras and her team at Monash University, Australia to develop vaccines to produce bovine colostrum-derived
antibodies. Dairy cows were immunised to generate hyperimmune bovine colostrum (HBC) that contains antibodies targeting three essential
C. diff virulence components.

IMM-529
targets Toxin B (TcB), the spores and the surface layer proteins of the vegetative cells. This unique 3-target approach has yielded promising
results in pre-clinical infection and relapse models, including (1) Prevention of primary disease (80% P =0.0052); (2) Protection of
disease recurrence (67%, P 0.01) and (3) Treatment of primary disease (78.6%, P0.0001; TcB HBC). Importantly IMM-529 antibodies cross-react
with whole cell lysates of many different human strains of C. diff including hypervirulent strains. To our knowledge, IMM-529 is, to
date, the only investigational drug that has shown therapeutic potential in all three phases of the disease. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-03982-5

Announces Travelan® Clinical Trial Update
Travelan®
(IMM-124E) Phase 2 Clinical Study
NCT05933525:
A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial Assessing the Efficacy of IMM-124E (Travelan®) in a Controlled Human Infection
Model for Enterotoxigenic Escherichia Coli (ETEC)
Immunology
Statistically
significant lower levels of IgA and IgG were observed for the subjects who received Travelan® compared to those who received
the placebo, which may also reflect levels of exposure to ETEC antigen. Travelan® antibodies target and bind to ETEC antigen in the
gastrointestinal tract, block LPS epitopes and therefore reduce antigen exposure, resulting in lower overall IgA and IgG antibody titers.
Clinical
data also demonstrated there was a statistically significant reduction in the number of colony forming units (CFUs) in
the stools of subjects who received Travelan® (p =0.0121), measured 48 hours post challenge, indicating faster clearance of the challenge
strain from the GI tract.
Microbiome
Participants
in the Travelan® group have a more stable gastrointestinal microbiota over the treatment time period when compared with the Placebo
group. Alpha diversity, a measurement of the richness (how many different species) and evenness (abundance or number of different species)
revealed that the Travelan group had improved richness and Shannon diversity results compared to the Placebo group. The data indicated
a difference in the richness in the diversity of certain species rather than just the abundance or number of bacterial species between
the two groups.
Statistically
significant differences were identified between the two treatment groups in the Beta diversity tests (number of species and abundance).
The relative abundance results revealed that the Travelan group had increased levels of beneficial bacteria such as Akkermansia and Faecalibacterium.
The differential abundance results confirmed increases in Agathobaculum, Slackia the Eubacterium eligens group, and the Eubacterium siraeum
group; and decreases in Rumminococcus and Bacteroides. The abundance data indicates a possible link between the species of bacteria associated
with reduced inflammation.
This
study data implies that Travelan® appears to aid in the reduction and clearance over time of pathological ETEC bacteria, by shortening
the recovery period after ETEC challenge. The mechanism indicates there is an increase in the propagation of bacteria associated with
decreases in inflammation and repairing the intestinal lining. Further investigation into this association is required to fully understand
the benefits of Travelan® on the gut microbiome.
Immuron
Announces New Research Collaboration targeting Antimicrobial Resistance
Immuron
announced a new research collaboration with Monash University. The major objective of this research collaboration is to develop new therapeutic
drug candidates which target antimicrobial resistant pathogens. This work will utilize the Immuron technology platform, and the extensive
experience of the Biomedicine Discovery Institute research team lead by Professor Dena Lyras.
The
first project proposal will focus on the underlying mechanisms which bacteria utilise to share and transfer their DNA. A process which
can rapidly alter the functional capacity and characteristics of a bacterium, resulting in the emergence of antimicrobial resistance
(AMR) with the aim to develop broad spectrum therapeutic drug products.
The
second project proposal will specifically target Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and as the name suggests VRE are bacteria that
are resistant to the antibiotic vancomycin. VRE are opportunistic nosocomial pathogens that have emerged as a major healthcare problem
worldwide. The two most clinically significant enterococci, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium, are associated with a range
of nosocomial infections in elderly and immunosuppressed patients. VRE complicates outcomes for at-risk patients, increasing their risk
of developing subsequent infections and/or transmitting VRE to other patients. VRE colonisation has been associated with an increased
risk of bacteremia, infections at other body sites and can also lead, in severe cases, to mortality.
The
global market for antibiotics is projected to reach $57.0 billion by 2026 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.0%. The rising
prevalence of drug-resistant infections, including VRE, is expected to drive the demand for new and innovative treatments in this space.

Principal
activities
We
are a commercial and clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a proprietary technology platform focused on the development and commercialisation
of a novel class of specifically targeted polyclonal antibodies in the treatment of diseases associated with the gastrointestinal tract.
We believe that we can address this significant unmet medical need. Our polyclonal antibodies are orally active and offer localised delivery
within the gastrointestinal (“GI”) tract. As our products do not cross from the gut into the bloodstream, they potentially
offer much improved safety and tolerability, without sacrificing efficacy. We currently market our flagship commercial products Travelan®
and Protectyn® in Australia, both products are listed medicines on the Australian Register for Therapeutic Goods. Travelan® is
an over-the-counter product indicated to reduce the risk of traveller’s’ diarrhoea and is sold in pharmacies throughout Australia.
Protectyn® is currently sold online and in health practitioner clinics and is marketed as an immune supplement to help maintain a
healthy digestive function and liver. We also market Travelan® in Canada where it is licensed as a natural health product indicated
to reduce the risk of traveller’s’ diarrhoea, and presently market Travelan® in the U.S. as a dietary supplement for digestive
tract protection.
We
believe that our lead drug candidates, currently in clinical development have the potential to transform the existing treatment paradigms
for Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) infections, traveller’s’ diarrhoea and for Clostridioides difficile infections.

Segment and revenue information Description of segments and principle activities
The
group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the executive management team
in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources.
Management
considers the business from both a product and a geographic perspective and has identified two reportable segments:
● |
Research
and development (R&D): income and expense directly attributable to the group’s R&D projects performed
in
Australia and United States. |
|
|
● |
Hyperimmune products:
income and expenses directly attributable to Travelan and Protectyn activities which occur predominantly in Australia, the Unites
States and Canada. |

Classification
as trade receivables
Trade
receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. They are generally
due for settlement within 30 days and therefore are all classified as current. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount
of consideration that is unconditional unless they contain significant financing components, when they are recognised at fair value.
The group holds the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them subsequently
at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Basis of preparation of half-year report
This
consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2024 has been prepared in accordance with
Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001.
The
consolidated financial statements of the Immuron Limited group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
These
consolidated financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly,
this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024 and any public announcements made by
Immuron Limited during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act
2001.
Material
Accounting Policy Information
The
accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless
otherwise stated. The Interim Financial Statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the board on 28 February 2025.
(a)
Going Concern
For
the half year ended 31 December 2024, the Company incurred a loss after income tax of $2,488,819 (31 December 2023: $2,073,182). Net
cash outflow from operations was $3,993,384 (31 December 2023: $2,003,836).
The
Company expects to continue to incur losses and cash outflows for the foreseeable future as it continues research and development exploiting
its technology platform and continues to expand commercial operations for the promotion and distribution of Hyperimmune products and
future market opportunities.
The
Company had $7,736,398 cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2024. During January 2025: (1) Immuron received $768,433 from the
Australian Taxation Office, and (2) raised $378,074 via its At the Market facility (“ATM”).
Note
1 (Segment and revenue information) shows Hyperimmune products (primarily Travelan®) commercialisation generated an operating profit
for the half year ended 31 December 2024 of $1,064,396 (31 December 2023: $854,715) up 25% on the prior comparative period. One of the
KPIs referenced in Note 7 (Share-based payments) is a Long Term Incentive (“LTI”) target of achieving breakeven Earnings
Before Interest Tax and Research & Development Income/Expense (EBITRD) through increasing operating profits generated from commercial
operations.
On
July 3, 2024, Immuron announced that H.C. Wainwright & Co,, LLC will provided up to approximately US$2 million of funding via an
ATM. Immuron utilised this ATM in January 2025 taking advantage of higher than typical trading volumes on Nasdaq and prices in excess
of the ASX equivalent at the time. The balance of this ATM remains available to Immuron should the Company require additional funding.
The
Directors share the view that based on outflow of cash for operations for the half year ended 31 December 2024, its existing cash reserves,
forecast product sales and a historically proven ability to raise funds from both existing shareholders and equity markets, the Company
will be able to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern
basis.

Independent
Auditor’s Review Report
To the Members of Immuron Limited
Report on the half-year
financial report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial
report of Immuron Limited (the Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 31 December 2024, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes
in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, including material accounting policy information,
other selected explanatory notes, and the directors’ declaration.
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have
not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Immuron Limited does not comply
with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
| a | giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position
as at 31 December 2024 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and |
| b | complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial
Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. |
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410
Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in
the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company
in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting
Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards)
(the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with the Code.

Directors’
responsibility for the half-year financial report
The
Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance
with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is
necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s
responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our
responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance
with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity,
in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the
half year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s
financial position as at 31 December 2024 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard
AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
A
review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters,
and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters
that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
