What does it take to develop a disease-modifying therapy for allergic rhinitis?

In a recent interview with Leader’s Proch, our CEO Burkhart shares how Inimmune is advancing INI-2004, a novel intranasal designed to reprogram the immune system and deliver durable responses for patients.

The discussion also explores the nuances of clinical trials, from seasonal timing to the role of controlled chamber studies in improving signal detection.

INIMMUNE COMPLETES ENROLLMENT AND DOSES FIRST PATIENT IN PHASE 2 CHAMBER TRIAL OF INI-2004 FOR ALLERGIC RHINITIS

INI-2004 advances as a rapid, disease-modifying immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis with platform potential across all allergic diseases; topline data expected June 2026
Missoula, MT — March 11, 2026 — Inimmune Corporation, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel immunotherapies for allergic diseases, today announced the completion of enrollment and dosing of the first patient in its Phase 2 allergen challenge chamber trial evaluating INI-2004 in patients with allergic rhinitis.
“Allergic rhinitis affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, yet treatment options remain largely limited to symptom control or lengthy allergen-specific immunotherapy programs,” said David Burkhart, Ph.D., CEO of Inimmune Corporation. “Completing enrollment and dosing the first patient in our Phase 2 study is a significant step toward demonstrating that INI-2004 can rapidly and durably modify the immune response driving allergic disease. We look forward to reporting topline data from the study in June.”
The randomized, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of INI-2004 in patients with allergic rhinitis using a validated allergen exposure chamber model. INI-2004 targets innate immune pathways that drive allergic inflammation and is designed to rapidly reprogram immune responses to allergens, potentially delivering a disease-modifying effect independent of the specific allergen trigger.
“We believe INI-2004 represents a true ‘pipeline in a product,’” said Ferdinand Massari, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Inimmune Corporation. “By targeting core innate immune pathways involved in allergic disease, this program has the potential to extend beyond seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis into additional indications, such as food allergies, allergic asthma, and other atopic conditions. Our goal is to deliver a disease-modifying immunotherapy that simplifies treatment for patients and clinicians while transforming how allergic diseases are managed.”
Following completion of the Phase 2 allergen chamber study, Inimmune plans to engage with regulatory authorities to determine the path forward for late-stage clinical development and potential expansion into additional allergic and asthma-related indications.
About INI-2004
INI-2004 is an investigational, allergen-agnostic immunotherapy designed to reprogram immune responses to allergens by activating toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), a key pathway involved in innate immune signaling. By targeting core immune mechanisms underlying allergic disease, INI-2004 is being developed as a rapid, disease-modifying treatment that may be effective across multiple allergens.
Inimmune is advancing INI-2004 into clinical studies designed to further evaluate its safety and efficacy in allergic rhinitis and other allergic diseases.

Inimmune Adds Key Executives in Advance of Phase 2 Allergic Rhinitis Data to Accelerate Clinical Expansion into Food Allergy and Allergic Asthma

Missoula, MT – February 26, 2026 – Inimmune Corporation, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation immunotherapies, today announced the appointments of Dr. Ferdinand Massari as Chief Medical Officer and Ryan McMillian as Head of Financial Strategy. The addition of these two accomplished biotech industry veterans strengthens the company’s leadership team as Inimmune advances the clinical expansion of its lead allergic rhinitis program into allergic asthma and food allergy.
Dr. Massari brings more than two decades of experience in clinical development and translational medicine across immunology and inflammatory diseases. He has a proven track record of building high performing clinical teams to deliver commercial success at both biotech and large pharma companies. As CMO, he will lead Inimmune’s clinical strategy and ex*****on, guiding the continued development of the company’s lead allergy program and its planned expansion into allergic asthma and food allergy, two areas with significant unmet patient need and limited disease-modifying treatment options. Dr. Massari is assuming the role of CMO previously held by Dr. Jon Ruckle, who successfully led Inimmune’s oncology and allergy programs through Phase 1 clinical trials.
Mr. McMillian joins Inimmune as Head of Financial Strategy, bringing extensive expertise in biotech finance, corporate strategy, and capital formation. In this role, he will oversee financial planning and strategic initiatives designed to support the company’s growing clinical portfolio and long-term value creation strategy.
“Inimmune is entering an important phase of growth as we broaden the scope and impact of our allergy program,” said David Burkhart, Chief Executive Officer of Inimmune Corporation. “Our Phase 2 trial in allergic rhinitis is completing enrollment and we expect to report top-line data in June 2026. As we prepare to expand into allergic asthma and food allergy, Dr. Massari’s deep clinical development experience and Mr. McMillian’s financial and strategic leadership will be instrumental in successfully supporting that expansion.” Dr. Massari added, “INI-2004 could revolutionize the treatment of allergic rhinitis and food allergies providing patients with the first truly disease-modifying therapy that is highly safe, effective, rapid and convenient.”
Building on this milestone, the company is preparing to expand development of their rapid, disease modifying immunotherapy to include allergic asthma and food allergy—conditions that affect millions worldwide and impose a substantial health and economic burden.
The appointments of Dr. Massari and Mr. McMillian reflect Inimmune’s commitment to assembling a world-class leadership team capable of advancing innovative immunotherapies through clinical development and toward commercialization.
