Immunic, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2026 Financial Results and Provides Corporate Update – Appointed Globally Renowned Biopharmaceutical Executive and Neurology Drug Developer, Michael A. Panzara, M.D., M.P.H., as Chief Medical Officer – – Continued to Execute Phase 3 ENSURE Trials of Vidofludimus Calcium in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis, with Top-Line Data Expected by End of 2026 – – Raised $200 Million in an Oversubscribed Private Placement, with Potential for up to an Additional $200 Million – NEW YORK, May 13, 2026 –Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX),a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic diseases, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided a corporate update. “We are fast approaching a highly pivotal juncture, with the anticipated top-line data readout of the twin phase 3 ENSURE trials of our lead asset, orally available nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1) activator, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS), expected by the end of 2026,” stated Daniel Vitt, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of Immunic. “In anticipation, we strengthened our leadership team with the recent appointment of Dr. Michael A. Panzara as Chief Medical Officer. Mike brings deep expertise in neurology and a proven track record of advancing multiple sclerosis (MS) therapies through late-stage clinical development and global regulatory approvals. Additionally, we enhanced our Board of Directors with the appointment of Jon Congleton, who has nearly four decades of biopharmaceutical leadership experience. Earlier in the quarter, Simona Skerjanec, M.Pharm, M.B.A., who joined Immunic's Board of Directors in July 2024, has been elevated to interim Chairperson of the Board and Thor Nagel, Principal at BVF Partners L.P., has been appointed as a member of the Board. Together, these key appointments are intended to best position the company for successful execution of our late-stage development priorities and prepare for potential commercialization.” Dr. Vitt continued, “As important, in February, we closed an oversubscribed private placement financing of up to $400 million in gross proceeds, with $200 million received upfront. This highly successful transaction signals investors’ continued confidence in Immunic and has provided the resources we need to advance our programs through key milestones and to continue our transition into a commercial-stage company. The initial proceeds are expected to fund our operations through the completion of our phase 3 ENSURE trials in RMS and our planned RMS New Drug Application (NDA) submission in the United States in mid-2027. The funds will also support continued investment in our development organization and launch readiness. At the same time, we remain focused on expanding the opportunity for vidofludimus calcium beyond RMS, which is supported by the growing body of data from our phase 2 CALLIPER trial in progressive MS (PMS) and our plan to initiate a confirmatory phase 3 program in primary progressive MS (PPMS) later this year.” Jason Tardio, President and Chief Operating Officer of Immunic, added, “We believe vidofludimus calcium has the potential to offer a transformative approach to disease modification in MS. Unlike currently available oral therapies that primarily target inflammatory pathways, vidofludimus calcium is designed to deliver both direct neuroprotective effects through Nurr1 activation and anti-inflammatory activity via selective DHODH inhibition. In clinical trials to date, vidofludimus calcium has demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile. Taken together, these attributes may support a compelling benefit-risk profile in the global MS market, which is projected to exceed $30 billion by the early 2030s.” First Quarter 2026 and Subsequent Highlights
Anticipated Clinical Milestones
Financial and Operating Results
About Immunic, Inc. Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX) is a late-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of novel oral therapies for neurologic diseases. The company’s lead development program, vidofludimus calcium (IMU-838), is currently in phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, for which top-line data is expected to be available by the end of 2026. It has already shown therapeutic activity in phase 2 clinical trials in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, progressive multiple sclerosis and other diseases. Vidofludimus calcium combines neuroprotective effects, through its mechanism as a first-in-class nuclear receptor-related 1 (Nurr1) activator, with additional anti-inflammatory and anti-viral effects, by selectively inhibiting the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH). The company’s development pipeline also includes earlier-stage programs, including IMU-856 and IMU-381, aimed at building a broader therapeutics platform addressing neurodegenerative, chronic inflammatory, and autoimmune-related diseases.
