INmune Bio向EMA提交Ebstrocel孤儿药认定申请及上市许可前科学建议包，为已公布的2027年Q1欧洲MAA做程序性准备

Orphan Drug Designation application and pre-MAA Scientific Advice package submitted for Ebstrocel™ in RDEB
Filings support a planned EU MAA in Q1 2027; orphan designation, if granted and maintained through approval, may provide regulatory incentives and 10 years of market exclusivity
BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
INmune Bio Inc. (NASDAQ: INMB) ("INmune Bio" or the "Company"), a late-stage biotechnology company focused on inflammation and immunology, today announced that it has submitted two regulatory packages to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for Ebstrocel™: an application for Orphan Drug Designation and a Scientific Advice package to streamline the upcoming Marketing Authorization Application (MAA
)
in Europe. Ebstrocel™, the first product from the Company’s CORDStrom™ platform, is an investigational pooled, allogeneic, umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cell therapy being developed as a systemic treatment for recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB).
The EMA filings are intended to support the Company’s planned EU MAA in Q1 2027 and form part of a coordinated global registration strategy that includes a planned UK MAA in Q4 2026 and a planned U.S. Biologics License Application (BLA) in Q1 2027.
“These EMA submissions are another execution milestone as we move Ebstrocel from late-stage clinical development toward potential commercialization,” said David Moss, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of INmune Bio. “Our focus is on converting the clinical, regulatory and manufacturing progress achieved to date into a defined sequence of registration milestones across the UK, European Union and United States. Each step advances Ebstrocel toward patients and provides an opportunity to validate the broader regulatory and commercial potential of the CORDStrom platform.”
Regulatory and Strategic Highlights
EU orphan designation:
The application seeks orphan medicinal product designation for Ebstrocel™ in RDEB in Europe to align with the ODD already granted in USA. If granted, sponsors may receive incentives that include protocol assistance and fee reductions. If Ebstrocel™ later receives marketing authorization and maintains orphan status, the approved orphan indication may benefit from 10 years of EU market exclusivity, subject to applicable requirements.
Pre-MAA engagement:
The Scientific Advice package is intended to support dialogue with EMA on scientific, regulatory and procedural requirements before the planned MAA, helping the Company identify and address key questions earlier in the filing process.
Defined global catalyst sequence:
The Company is targeting a UK MAA in Q4 2026, followed by planned EU MAA and U.S. BLA submissions in Q1 2027.
Platform leverage:
Ebstrocel™ is the first disease-specific CORDStrom™ product to advance toward potential marketing authorization. Progress with Ebstrocel™ is expected to inform development of additional scalable, off-the-shelf therapies from the platform.
RDEB and the Ebstrocel™ Opportunity
RDEB is a rare, debilitating genetic disease characterized by extreme skin fragility, chronic wounds, scarring and significant systemic complications. Ebstrocel™ is being developed as a systemic therapy intended to address disease manifestations beyond topical wound care.
“RDEB is a systemic disease with substantial unmet need beyond the visible manifestations of skin injury,” said Mark Lowdell, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of INmune Bio and inventor of the CORDStrom™ platform. “Advancing Ebstrocel through European regulatory pathways is important for patients and for CORDStrom. Ebstrocel is our first opportunity to demonstrate how a pooled, scalable, off-the-shelf stromal cell platform can progress through late-stage regulatory development.”
About the European Regulatory Submissions
Orphan Drug Designation in the European Union is intended to support the development of medicines for rare, serious conditions. If granted, the designation can provide access to regulatory incentives during development. Market exclusivity is available only after marketing authorization and maintenance of orphan status at the time of approval.
The pre-MAA Scientific Advice process is designed to facilitate interaction with EMA in advance of an MAA submission and to help sponsors address scientific, regulatory and procedural considerations as they prepare a marketing authorization package.
About Ebstrocel™ and CORDStrom™
Ebstrocel™ is the RDEB-specific investigational product from INmune Bio’s proprietary CORDStrom™ platform. CORDStrom™ is a platform of pooled, allogeneic, human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cell therapies designed to reduce donor variability and manufacturing inconsistency. The Company’s fully closed, semi-automated manufacturing approach is intended to support scalable, reproducible and off-the-shelf products that can be tailored for different therapeutic applications and routes of administration.
INmune Bio plans to continue its interactions with European regulators as it advances toward the planned MAA for Ebstrocel™.
