While the applicability of the Immunome Discovery Engine is broad, Immunome’s focus is on the development of new therapies for oncology.
Pipeline
Our primary focus area is oncology. We are leveraging the insights from the Immunome Discovery Engine to guide the discovery of future oncology pipeline assets and enable future strategic collaborations and additional value creation.
Oncology
IMM-ONC-01 Anti IL-38 Antibody
Anti IL-38 Antibody Therapy has Potential to Be an Important Advancement in Cancer Care
- Immunome’s lead oncology program targets IL-38, a novel cancer target from the immune modulator cluster, identified by head & neck cancer patient antibody response
- IL-38 dampens immune response to tumors in preclinical testing
- Blocking IL-38 leads to tumor control in preclinical in vivo testing in two different models1
- Gene expression profiling of patient tumors suggest normal IL-38 biology is co-opted by tumors of squamous origin, such as head & neck, gastroesophageal, and lung, to suppress immune infiltration2
- IND filing anticipated mid-2023
1 IL-38 blockade induces anti-tumor immunity by abrogating tumor-mediated suppression of early immune activation

IMM20059 Anti-EPN1
Antibody targeting ectopically expressed protein
- EPN1, a novel cancer target from the membrane dynamics cluster, identified by head & neck cancer patient antibody response
- In preclinical testing EPN1 protein is ectopically expressed on the surface of melanoma, breast, lung, genitourinary, and liver cancer cells
- EPN1 observed on the surface of tumor cell-derived exosomes in preclinical testing
- Ongoing efforts demonstrate targeting EPN1 in combination with anti-PDL1 leads to efficacy in preclinical studies1
