About IMR-687
IMR-687 is a highly selective and potent small molecule inhibitor of PDE9. PDE9 selectively degrades cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), an active signaling molecule that plays a role in vascular biology. Lower levels of cGMP are found in people with SCD and beta-thalassemia and are associated with reduced blood flow, increased inflammation, greater cell adhesion and reduced nitric oxide mediated vasodilation.Blocking PDE9 acts to increase cGMP levels, which is associated with reactivation of fetal hemoglobin (HbF), a natural hemoglobin produced during fetal development. Increased levels of HbF in RBCs have been demonstrated to improve symptomology and substantially lower disease burden in both patients with SCD and patients with beta-thalassemia.

Patient Dosing Underway in Phase 2b clinical trials of IMR-687 in sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia
IMR-687 granted Orphan Drug designation from European Commission for sickle cell disease
Company to host conference call and live webcast today at 8:30 a.m. ET
BOSTON, Nov. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imara Inc. (NASDAQ:IMRA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing novel therapeutics to treat patients suffering from rare inherited genetic disorders of hemoglobin, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020 and reviewed recent business highlights.
"We continue to advance IMR-687 across multiple indications and as part of global, multi-center clinical trials, despite COVID-19," said Rahul Ballal, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Imara. "We have initiated patient dosing in our Phase 2b clinical trials of IMR-687 in both sickle cell disease and beta-thalassemia and have activated sites around the world. In addition, we also continued to make progress on the regulatory front as we were granted Orphan Drug designation by the European Commission for the treatment of patients with sickle cell disease."
Dr. Ballal continued, "We have also made important progress on our Phase 2a open label extension clinical trial in adult patients with sickle cell disease. In August 2020, we reported initial data from the first two patients in this clinical trial who had received at least six-months of treatment. The data indicated potential benefits of IMR-687 with respect to reported vaso-occlusive crises trends, healthcare facility use and associated biomarkers. We plan to report additional data from these two patients at the annual American Society of Hematology 2020 virtual meeting in December 2020. Importantly, enrollment in the open label extension clinical trial has increased to 23 patients and we expect to report additional data during the first quarter of 2021 on approximately 10 to 15 patients from the OLE clinical trial."
Recent Corporate Highlights and Updates- Patient Dosing Underway in Phase 2b Clinical Trials: Imara dosed the first patients in both its Ardent Phase 2b sickle cell disease (SCD) clinical trial and its Forte Phase 2b beta-thalassemia clinical trial. Imara plans to report formal interim analyses from the Ardent and Forte Phase 2b clinical trials when 33 and 30 patients, respectively, have completed 24 weeks of treatment. Due to COVID-19 related recruitment delays, the company expects to report interim data from the Ardent and Forte Phase 2b clinical trials in the second half of 2021 rather than the first half of 2021 as originally planned.
- Completed Dosing in Phase 2a Clinical Trial: Imara completed dosing patients in the Phase 2a clinical trial in patients with SCD during the third quarter of 2020 and plans to report top-line data from this trial late in the fourth quarter of 2020. Imara also expects to report additional data from two patients in its ongoing Phase 2a open label extension (OLE) clinical trial in adult patients with SCD at the annual American Society of Hematology (ASH) 2020 virtual meeting in December 2020 as well as data from approximately 10 to 15 patients in the OLE clinical trial in the first quarter of 2021.
- IMR-687 Granted Regulatory Designation: The European Commission granted IMR-687 Orphan Disease designation for the treatment of SCD. IMR-687 has previously been granted Orphan Drug, Fast Track and Rare Pediatric Disease designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of patients with SCD.
- Expanded Pipeline: Exploratory research indicating potential cardioprotective effects of IMR-687 in SCD and heart failure were presented at the 15th Annual Sickle Cell and Thalassemia Conference held virtually October 26-31, 2020. These results, which include analysis of a sub-set of SCD patients from the Phase 2a clinical trial, demonstrate that IMR-687 in combination with HU reduced N-terminal (NT)-pro hormone B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a biomarker used to measure cardiovascular risk. NT-proBNP is being measured as an exploratory endpoint in both the Ardent and Forte Phase-2b clinical trials. In addition, preclinical data in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), also referred to as diastolic heart failure, were also presented, showing potential benefits of IMR-687 across several relevant cardiac biomarkers.
Third Quarter 2020 Financial Results
- Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $96.1 million as of September 30, 2020, as compared to cash, cash equivalents and investments of $28.9 million as of December 31, 2019.
- Research and Development Expenses: Research and development expenses were $9.5 million for the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $5.1 million for the third quarter of 2019. The increase of $4.4 million was primarily related to the development and manufacturing of clinical materials, clinical research and oversight of the Company's clinical trials and investigative fees related to the development of IMR-687, as well as increased personnel-related and other research and development operational costs.
- General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses were $3.0 million for the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2019. The increase of $1.2 million was primarily due to increased personnel-related and other general and administrative operational costs as a result of operating as a public company.
- Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders: Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $12.4 million, or $0.72 per share, for the third quarter of 2020, as compared to a net loss of $6.6 million, or $9.43 per share, for the third quarter of 2019.
Financial Guidance
The Company currently expects that its full-year 2020 research and development expenses will range between $32 million and $37 million rather than the $35 million to $40 million originally estimated and that its full-year 2020 general and administrative expenses will range between $9 million and $10 million. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and investments as of September 30, 2020, will be sufficient to enable it to fund its planned operations into mid-2022.

BOSTON, Oct. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imara Inc. (NASDAQ:IMRA), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to developing and commercializing novel therapeutics to treat patients suffering from rare inherited genetic disorders of hemoglobin, today announced dosing of the first patient in the company's Forte Phase 2b clinical trial of IMR-687 for patients with beta-thalassemia.
"There are currently no approved oral therapies to increase fetal hemoglobin in beta-thalassemia, a rare inherited red blood cell disorder which if left untreated, causes severe anemia, enlarged spleen, skeletal abnormalities, organ failure and early death," said Perla Eleftheriou, Consultant Hematologist in the Red Cell Hematology department at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer at University College London and national lead investigator in the United Kingdom on the Forte trial. "We believe there is a clear rationale to expand development of IMR-687 to include beta-thalassemia and we look forward to working alongside multiple clinical centers globally to advance IMR-687 in the Forte clinical trial."
"Dosing of the first patient in the Forte Phase 2b clinical trial marks an important milestone for Imara as we begin clinical evaluation of IMR-687 for the first time in patients with beta-thalassemia," said Rahul Ballal, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Imara. "Multiple preclinical studies show that treatment with IMR-687 enhances both the maturation and production of red blood cells in beta-thalassemia and we are looking forward to advancing this potentially transformative oral therapy for patients."
Dr. Ballal continued, "Patient dosing in the Forte 2b clinical trial follows initiation of dosing this August in our Ardent Phase 2b clinical trial in patients with sickle cell disease. These advancements transform Imara into a company with a drug candidate in multiple indications across global, multi-center clinical trials. Managing the various clinical manifestations of beta-thalassemia and sickle cell disease is complex and patients around the world have few accessible treatment options. At Imara, we remain committed to working together with our clinical trial partners, investigators and the patient community to evaluate the therapeutic potential of IMR-687 as an oral, once-a-day, potentially disease-modifying treatment for these rare inherited blood disorders."
The global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter Forte Phase 2b clinical trial will evaluate the safety and tolerability of IMR-687 in approximately 120 adult beta-thalassemia patients. Patient randomization will be stratified by transfusion dependence (TDT) or non-transfusion dependence (NTDT) and weight-based dosing will be employed to optimize drug exposure and tolerability. For TDT patients, the clinical trial will also evaluate the effect of IMR-687 versus placebo in reducing the average number of days between red blood cell transfusions and change in iron load rate as a result of transfusion. For NTDT patients, the effect of IMR-687 versus placebo on fetal hemoglobin as well as on anemia will also be evaluated. The Forte trial will also examine pharmacokinetic and additional exploratory efficacy endpoints. There are pre-specified interim analyses planned in the trial, with the first such interim analysis to be conducted when 30 patients have reached 24 weeks of treatment and an additional interim analysis being conducted when 30 patients have reached 36 weeks of treatment.

About Beta-Thalassemia
Beta-thalassemia, a hemoglobinopathy, is a rare inherited red blood cell disorder. Beta-thalassemia presents as a spectrum of disease, with patients categorized based on hemoglobin levels, genotype and clinical manifestations. If left untreated, the disease causes severe anemia, splenomegaly, skeletal abnormalities, organ failure and early death.
The prevalence of beta-thalassemia globally is estimated to be 288,000, with an incidence of 60,000 births per year, and it is especially prevalent in developing countries of Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. The total combined prevalence of beta thalassemia in the European Union and United States is estimated to be approximately 19,000 patients.About Imara
