Prima BioMed (IMMP) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Prima BioMed, trading as IMMP on NASDAQ, is a clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in the development of immunotherapy products for cancer treatment. The company’s core technology platform centers on targeting the lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3), a checkpoint receptor that modulates T-cell activity. Prima BioMed’s lead candidate, eftilagimod alpha (IMP321), is a soluble LAG-3 protein designed to enhance antigen-presenting cell function and stimulate a tumor-specific immune response. This candidate is being evaluated in multiple Phase II clinical trials across a range of solid tumors, including breast and lung cancers.

Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia, Prima BioMed has built its expertise in immuno-oncology over two decades of research and development. In 2018, the company rebranded as Immutep to reflect its broader strategic focus on LAG-3–based immunotherapies. Since its inception, Prima BioMed has collaborated with leading academic institutions and cancer centers worldwide to advance its clinical programs and validate the therapeutic potential of LAG-3 modulation.

Prima BioMed maintains a global footprint with additional offices and research partnerships in Europe and the United States. Through collaborations with pharmaceutical partners and contract research organizations, the company aims to accelerate clinical development, streamline regulatory submissions and establish a foundation for potential commercialization. Its pipeline also includes monoclonal antibodies targeting LAG-3 and other immune checkpoints, underscoring a commitment to expanding treatment options for patients with hard-to-treat malignancies.
