About Immuron
Immuron Limited (ASX: IMC, NASDAQ: IMRN), is an Australian biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing orally delivered targeted polyclonal antibodies for the treatment of infectious diseases.
About Travelan®
Travelan® is an orally administered passive immunotherapy that prophylactically reduces the likelihood of contracting travelers’ diarrhea, a digestive tract disorder that is commonly caused by pathogenic bacteria and the toxins they produce. Travelan® is a highly purified tabletized preparation of hyper immune bovine antibodies and other factors, which when taken with meals bind to diarrhea-causing bacteria and prevent colonization and the pathology associated with travelers’ diarrhea. In Australia, Travelan® is a listed medicine on the Australian Register for Therapeutic Goods (AUST L 106709) and is indicated to reduce the risk of Travelers’ Diarrhea, reduce the risk of minor gastro-intestinal disorders and is antimicrobial. In Canada, Travelan® is a licensed natural health product (NPN 80046016) and is indicated to reduce the risk of Travelers’ Diarrhea. In the U.S., Travelan® is sold as a dietary supplement for digestive tract protection.
Travelers’ diarrhea (TD)
TD is generally defined as the passage of ≥ 3 unformed stools per 24 hours plus at least one additional symptom (such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, fever, blood/mucus in the stools, or fecal urgency) that develop while abroad or within 10 days of returning from any resource-limited destinations (Leung et al., 2006). Diarrhea continues to be the most frequent health problem among travelers to destinations in lower- and middle-income regions (Steffen, 2017). Deployed US military personnel, essentially representing a long-term traveller population, are particularly affected given their population dynamics and the context in which they seek care and treatment (Connor et al., 2012). Diarrhea is the leading infectious disease threat to the overall health and preparedness of deployed US armed forces, with diarrheagenic E. coli, Campylobacter spp., and Shigella spp. among the most commonly reported etiologies (Riddle et al., 2006).
Immuron Platform Technology
Immuron’s proprietary technology is based on polyclonal immunoglobulins (IgG) derived from engineered hyper-immune bovine colostrum. Immuron has the capability of producing highly specific immunoglobulins to any enteric pathogen and our products are orally active. Bovine IgG can withstand the acidic environment of the stomach and is resistant to proteolysis by the digestive enzymes found in the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Bovine IgG also possesses this unique ability to remain active in the human GI tract delivering its full benefits directly to the bacteria found there. The underlying nature of Immuron’s platform technology enables the development of medicines across a large range of infectious diseases. The platform can be used to block viruses or bacteria at mucosal surfaces such as the Gastrointestinal tract and neutralize the toxins they produce.
IMM-124E (Travelan®)
IMM-124E was developed using Immuron’s platform technology. IMM-124E is produced from the colostrum of birthing cattle that have been immunised during pregnancy with a vaccine containing the outer antigens of multiple human derived ETEC. A total of 13 ETEC strains are used in the vaccine to produce high levels of antibodies against selected surface antigens from the most common strains of ETEC.
The resultant hyperimmune colostrum IMM-124E from ETEC vaccinated cows contains significant levels of polyclonal antibodies specific for ETEC antigens LPS, CFA-I and Flagellin (Sears et al., 2017).
The antibodies produced in IMM-124E have been found to have a stronger binding and neutralizing activity (than the antibodies of unvaccinated cattle) against a wide range of LPS antigens including both the variable O-polysaccharide region and the preserved oligosaccharide core ‘R’ region of LPS from the 13 serotypes used in the ETEC vaccine.
IMM-124E is manufactured into a tablet form referred to as Travelan®.
IMM-529
Immuron is developing IMM-529 as an adjunctive therapy in combination with standard of care antibiotics for the prevention and/or treatment of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). IMM-529 antibodies targeting Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) may help to clear CDI infection and promote a quicker re-establishment of normal gut flora, providing an attractive oral preventative for recurrent CDI.
Immuron is collaborating with Dr. Dena Lyras and her team at Monash University, Australia to develop vaccines to produce bovine colostrum-derived antibodies. Dairy cows were immunised to generate hyperimmune bovine colostrum (HBC) that contains antibodies targeting three essential C. diff virulence components. IMM-529 targets Toxin B (TcB), the spores and the surface layer proteins of the vegetative cells.
This unique 3-target approach has yielded promising results in pre-clinical infection and relapse models, including (1) Prevention of primary disease (80% P =0.0052); (2) Protection of disease recurrence (67%, P <0.01) and (3) Treatment of primary disease (78.6%, P<0.0001; TcB HBC). Importantly IMM-529 antibodies cross-react with whole cell lysates of many different human strains of C. diff including hypervirulent strains.
To our knowledge, IMM-529 is, to date, the only investigational drug that has shown therapeutic potential in all three phases of the disease (Hutton et al., 2017).

Bovine colostrum is the first milk of cows after calving. It is rich in immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, growth factors and bioactive peptides. Colostrum has higher levels of protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals when compared to milk. This enables full development of the newborn calf in addition to immunity against several pathogens.*

7 Further analysis of the Phase 2 Study found that some subjects did not experience any diarrhoea until after antibiotics were administered Diarrhoea could be related to antibiotic administration Protective Efficacy was calculated for the 5 - day period post challenge There were 4 subjects in the Travelan® group that did not experience any diarrhoea until antibiotics were administered There was a 43.8% reduction in diarrhoea in the Travelan® group which is approaching statistical significance (p=0.066) IMM - 124E (Travelan®) Phase 2 Study Additional data analysis Protective Efficacy

After day 5 dosing of Travelan®/placebo stopped, Comments: Data not included in interim analysis 18 subjects met the primary endpoint a further 11 subjects had milder diarrhoea 4 subjects in the Travelan® group did not experience any diarrhoea until the Travelan® dosing was complete and antibiotics were administered and all subjects received antibiotics (Days 6 - 9)
9 Objective : To compare the time to diarrhoea onset between patients receiving a therapeutic treatment and those receiving a placebo. Data Collection : o Patients are monitored over a specified period. o The time to the onset of diarrhoea is recorded for each patient. o Patients are divided into two groups: those receiving the therapeutic treatment and those receiving the placebo. Kaplan - Meier Estimation : o Survival Function : Plots the probability of not having diarrhoea as a function of time for both groups. o Censoring : Accounts for patients who do not develop diarrhoea during the study period or drop out of the study. IMM - 124E (Travelan®): Kaplan - Meier Plot Plot Interpretation : Statistical Tests : o X - Axis : Time to onset of diarrhoea (e.g., days). o Y - Axis : Probability of remaining diarrhoea - free (survival probability). o Curves : Two separate curves represent the therapeutic group and the placebo group. o Stepwise Decline : Each step represents an event (onset of diarrhoea) or a censored observation. o Comparison : The therapeutic curve is compared to the placebo curve to assess the effectiveness of the treatment. o Log - Rank Test : Commonly used to compare the survival distributions of the two groups. o Hazard Ratios : Can be calculated to quantify the difference in risk between the groups. Interpretation of Results: Therapeutic Effectiveness : If the curve for the therapeutic group remains higher (indicating a higher probability of being diarrhoea - free for a longer time) compared to the placebo group, the therapeutic treatment can be considered effective. Statistical Significance : A significant p - value from the log - rank test suggests a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Clinical Implications : Helps in deciding whether the therapeutic treatment should be recommended over the placebo. Conclusion: In the clinical trial, the Kaplan - Meier plot shows that the Travelan® therapeutic treatment group has a higher survival probability over time compared to the placebo group, it suggests that the therapeutic treatment is effective in delaying the onset of diarrhoea.
