IGM Biosciences has decided to halt development of imvotamab and IGM-2644, two IgM-based bispecific antibody T cell engagers for autoimmune diseases, and cut its staff by 73%.
The biotechnology company said interim data from Phase 1b studies showed insufficient B cell depletion for imvotamab in treating rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
IGM-2644 is also being terminated following strategic considerations.
The company is now exploring internal options and strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, while implementing a 73% workforce reduction to conserve cash.
As of Dec. 31, IGM had $183.8 million in cash and investments.
