Pipeline highlights:

Lacutamab (anti-KIR3DL2 antibody):

Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma

   --  The planned confirmatory Phase 3 TELLOMAK-3 trial is an open-label, 
      multi-center, randomized, comparative study evaluating lacutamab in 
      patients with Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, who have failed 
      at least one prior systemic therapy. 
 
          --  TELLOMAK-3 includes two cohorts: a confirmatory cohort in 
             Sézary syndrome, intended to support a potential accelerated 
             approval based on existing TELLOMAK Phase 2 data, and a 
             registrational cohort in mycosis fungoides, intended to support 
             full approval. The primary endpoint of the study for both cohorts 
             is progression-free survival $(PFS)$ evaluated by blinded central 
             review. 
 
          --  Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) review of 
             the Phase 3 protocol, with no further comments in November 2025, 
             the trial is planned for initiation in H2 2026. 
 
 
 
   --  The FDA provided encouraging feedback on the TELLOMAK Phase 2 results 
      and the proposed regulatory pathway, which may support an accelerated 
      approval in Sézary syndrome once the Phase 3 trial is underway. In 
      February 2025, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation to 
      lacutamab for relapsed or refractory Sézary syndrome. 
 
   --  The TELLOMAK Phase 2 trial is completed, and patients still on 
      treatment at the end of the study continue to receive lacutamab through a 
      Post Trial Access program. 
 
   --  An abstract authored by ZS Associates entitled "Cutaneous T-Cell 
      Lymphoma Epidemiology in the United States: A Real-World Data Analysis of 
      Administrative Claims" has been accepted for publication in the official 
      Abstract Book of the European Hematology Association Congress 2026. The 
      analysis, sponsored by Innate, reports approximately 12,400 prevalent 
      patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) and 1,100 with Sézary syndrome 
      (SS), with 2,900 and 300 new cases per year, respectively. 

Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL)

   --  KILT (anti-KIR in T-Cell Lymphoma) Phase 2 trial, an 
      investigator-sponsored, randomized study led by the Lymphoma Study 
      Association (LYSA) evaluating lacutamab in combination with GEMOX 
      (gemcitabine and oxaliplatin) versus GEMOX alone in patients with 
      KIR3DL2-expressing relapsed/refractory PTCL, is ongoing. 

IPH4502 (Nectin-4 exatecan ADC):

   --  The IPH4502-101 Phase 1 study (NCT06781983), recruiting in France and 
      in the United States, is evaluating the safety, tolerability, and 
      preliminary anti-tumor activity of IPH4502 in advanced solid tumors known 
      to express Nectin-4, including but not limited to urothelial carcinoma, 
      non-small cell lung, breast, ovarian, gastric, esophageal, and colorectal 
      cancers. 
 
   --  The maximum tolerated dose has been reached and enrollment in the Phase 
      1 dose escalation and cohort enrichment is nearing completion. 
      Preliminary anti-tumor activity continues to be observed in heavily 
      pre-treated patients with advanced solid tumors, including in patients 
      with urothelial cancer relapsed or refractory to enfortumab vedotin, with 
      a favorable safety profile to date. 

Monalizumab (anti-NKG2A antibody), developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca:

   --  The PACIFIC-9 Phase 3 trial run by AstraZeneca evaluating durvalumab 
      (anti-PD--L1) in combination with monalizumab or AstraZeneca's oleclumab 
      (anti-CD73) in patients with unresectable, Stage III non-small cell lung 
      cancer (NSCLC) who have not progressed following platinum-based 
      chemoradiation therapy $(CRT)$ is ongoing. Enrollment in the trial is 
      complete, and data readout is expected in H2 2026. 

Other Clinical stage assets

IPH5201 (anti-CD39 antibody, developed in collaboration with AstraZeneca): The MATISSE Phase 2 trial is evaluating IPH5201 in combination with durvalumab and platinum-based chemotherapy in the neoadjuvant lung cancer setting.

   --  Interim results from MATISSE Phase 2 were presented in a Clinical 
      Trials Plenary Session at the AACR Annual Meeting 2026 on April 21, 2026 
      in San Diego, by Pr. Fabrice Barlesi (Institut Gustave Roussy). The 
      pre-planned interim analysis was conducted on 40 patients with resectable 
      early-stage (stage II--IIIA) NSCLC treated with perioperative IPH5201 in 
      combination with durvalumab and platinum-based chemotherapy. The 
      combination showed encouraging results with overall pathological complete 
      response (pCR) rate of 27.5% (95% CI: 14.6--43.9). pCR rates were notably 
      higher in patients with PD-L1-positive tumors, reaching 35.7% in PD-L1 
      >=1% patients (n=28%) and 50.0% in PD--L1 >=50% patients (n=14). Higher 
      baseline tumor CD39+ and CD8+ cell density was observed in patients 
      achieving pCR/mPR, suggesting CD39 expression as a potentially emerging 
      biomarker. The safety profile was comparable to that of preoperative 
      platinum-based chemotherapy with durvalumab. Based on these encouraging 
      results, the MATISSE study continues enrollment in the PD-L1 >=1% patient 
      population. 

IPH5301 (anti-CD73, proprietary): The investigator-sponsored CHANCES Phase 1 trial of IPH5301 with Institut Paoli-Calmettes is ongoing.

IPH6101 (ANKET$(R)$ anti-CD123, proprietary): Innate has initiated a research collaboration to further assess next steps of development.

IPH6401/SAR'514 (ANKET(R) anti-BCMA, partnered with Sanofi): During the first quarter, Sanofi announced deprioritization of SAR'514, a trifunctional anti-BCMA NK-cell engager. Sanofi retains exclusive development and commercialization rights, and the license terms remain unchanged.

Corporate Update:

   --  As previously announced, in line with its strategic focus, the Company 
      has streamlined its organization. Planned layoffs were implemented 
      through a redundancy plan which is completed. 
 
   --  As of March 31, 2026, the balance available under our April 2023 sales 
      agreement under the At-The-Market program remains at $75 million. 

Financial highlights for Q1 2026:

Cash, cash equivalents and financial assets of the Company amounted to EUR25.4 million as of March 31, 2026. At the same date, financial liabilities amounted to EUR20.3 million.

Revenue for the three-month period ending March 31, 2026, amounted to EUR2.6 million (EUR1.2 million for the same period in 2025). Revenue from collaboration and licensing agreements mainly resulted from the partial or entire recognition of the proceeds received pursuant to the agreements with AstraZeneca and Sanofi.
