Innate Pharma Highlights Preclinical Antitumor Activity of IPH6501 in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma and Follicular Lymphoma at the 2025 European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress
Preclinical in vivo models support enhanced antitumor efficacy for the combination of IPH6501 with R-CHOP, the standard of care in untreated DLBCL and FL patients
IPH6501 is currently under investigation in a Phase 1/2 clinical study in relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) CD20+ B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma
MARSEILLE, France, June 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
Innate Pharma SA (Euronext Paris: IPH; Nasdaq: IPHA) ("Innate" or the "Company") today announced the presentation of preclinical data for IPH6501, its proprietary ANKET® targeting CD20 currently under investigation in a Phase 1/2 study in relapsed and/or refractory (R/R) B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL) (NCT06088654), at the European Hematology Association (EHA) Congress 2025, taking place June 12-15 in Milan, Italy.
R-CHOP is an established standard of care for treatment-naïve patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and follicular lymphoma (FL), two subtypes of B-NHL. The treatment landscape continues to evolve with novel approaches including T cell engagers, antibody-drug conjugates, their combination with standard of care therapies, and CAR-T cells. Yet, there remains an unmet medical need for patients ineligible, refractory to, or relapsing from these therapies.
In preclinical in vitro models, IPH6501 demonstrated potent NK cell proliferation and tumor cell killing activity in DLBCL and FL patient samples, supporting its therapeutic potential in these indications. In preclinical in vivo xenografted mouse tumor models, IPH6501 showed strong activity in a rituximab-resistant model — even in the presence of rituximab highlighting their combination potential. Additionally, when combined with R-CHOP, IPH6501 showed enhanced antitumor efficacy, leading to tumor eradication that was maintained after treatment discontinuation. These findings underscore the potential of IPH6501 in improving standard-of-care R-CHOP treatment in previously untreated DLBCL and FL patients and support further evaluation of additional combination strategies in B-NHL.
"Patients with R/R DLBCL and FL continue to face significant unmet medical needs. The encouraging activity observed in preclinical models with IPH6501, including in rituximab-resistant settings, suggests its potential to offer new treatment options for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The enhanced antitumor activity in combination with R-CHOP could support further investigation in untreated patients. These findings support further clinical development aimed at improving outcomes in this challenging patient population," commented Dr Sonia Quaratino, Chief Medical Officer of Innate Pharma.
The poster will be available in the publication section of Innate Pharma's website.

About ANKET®
ANKET® (Antibody-based NK cell Engager Therapeutics) is Innate's proprietary platform for developing next-generation, multi-specific natural killer (NK) cell engagers to treat certain types of cancer. This versatile, fit-for-purpose technology is creating an entirely new class of molecules to induce synthetic immunity against cancer.
About IPH6501
IPH6501 is the first Antibody-based NK cell Engager Therapeutic to co-engage activating receptors on NK cells (NKp46 and CD16), IL-2R (but not the alpha subunit) through a variant of human IL-2, and a tumor antigen (CD20) via a single molecule. This unique multispecific design provides targeted proliferation and activation signals to NK cells, promoting their cytotoxic activity against CD20 expressing malignant cells.
IPH6501 has shown better antitumor efficacy compared to approved benchmark antibodies in preclinical tumor models (Demaria, EHA 2023, Carrette, SITC 2024, Demaria et al, Science Immunology 2024).
IPH6501 is currently being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 multicenter trial (NCT06088654), investigating the safety and tolerability of IPH6501 in patients with relapsed and/or refractory CD20-expressing B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

ORANGE, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Avangrid, Inc., a leading energy company and member of the Iberdrola Group, today announced that it has placed its 80 th U.S. power generation project into operation, marking a major milestone for the company as it provides energy to homes and businesses in 23 states across the country. Over the past six months, Avangrid announced that it achieved commercial operation on three new solar projects in Texas, Ohio, and California, adding nearly 600 megawatts (MW) to the grid, enough energy to power over 100,000 homes. This achievement builds on Avangrid's commitment to helping the nation meet its growing demand for energy while bolstering the U.S. economy. 'For over two decades, Avangrid has been delivering energy to homes and businesses across the nation, and today that portfolio has grown to 80 facilities spanning from coast to coast,' said Jose Antonio Miranda, Avangrid CEO. 'Achieving this milestone comes at a critical time as we work to bring new energy capacity online to meet growing electricity demand from a variety of sources, particularly the construction of new data centers. In just the past six months, Avangrid has achieved commercial operation at three new projects, demonstrating our ability to meet the needs of our customers and bring needed capacity to increasingly strained electric grids. We will continue to collaborate with our partners as we work to secure American energy independence and support jobs and economic growth across the U.S.' In March 2025, Avangrid announced that it achieved commercial operations at its True North Solar project in Falls County, Texas. This 321 MWdc project is supporting Meta's operations, including its upcoming data center in Temple, TX. In June 2025, Avangrid announced commercial operations at Camino Solar, a 57 MWdc project in Kern County, California as well as commercial operations at Powell Creek Solar, a 202 MWdc project in Putnam County, Ohio. Communities across the country realize tangible economic and social benefits thanks to Avangrid's portfolio of projects. These 80 operating projects supported over 12,000 jobs (direct, indirect, and induced) last year. Additionally, the company's power generation business contributed $112 million in taxes to state and local jurisdictions, paid $97 million in lease payments, and delivered $2.1 million in community support in 2024.

In Oregon and Washington, for example, Avangrid has a large business office, its National Control Center, National Training Center, and approximately 3.0 GW of generating capacity, representing a key region for the company. Avangrid's operations support approximately 500 jobs and paid nearly $30 million in taxes, combined across both states.

'Avangrid has been a leader in the energy industry in the Northwest for many years, with a talented local workforce, innovative operations, and competitive solutions for power customers around the country,' said Spencer Gray, executive director of the Northwest & Intermountain Power Producers Coalition. 'I congratulate Avangrid on reaching this milestone and continuing its track record of excellence as an independent power generator.' With energy demand expected to surge over the next decade, largely due to the construction of new data centers, Avangrid's ability to bring new energy projects is vital. The company already has approximately 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of capacity that supports data centers with an additional 650 MW under construction or will be under construction soon. Avangrid is actively working on new projects that will help meet expected energy demand growth in the coming years. In March 2025, Avangrid announced its plan to invest $20 billion in U.S. electrical grid infrastructure through the end of the decade. The plan reflects the critical need to invest in energy infrastructure to meet growing demand, as well as the United States' position as a top investment priority for Avangrid and Iberdrola.

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Visit Bellevue, the official destination marketing organization for Bellevue, Washington, unveils a bold new tourism brand identity and campaign in partnership with creative agency 62ABOVE. The rebrand reflects Bellevue's evolution from a quiet tech and innovation hub into a modern, globally connected basecamp city for Seattle and Pacific Northwest travel. The brand launch kicks off with a new campaign, 'Unexpect It,' to capture the spirit of a city that consistently defies expectations – perfectly positioned between lakes and mountains for easy access to wonder and nature, while offering refined city experiences like a bustling restaurant scene, plush new hotels, and world-class retail and entertainment. 'Bellevue has transformed in ways that even locals are still catching up to,' says Brad Jones, Visit Bellevue's Executive Director. Share 'Bellevue has transformed in ways that even locals are still catching up to,' says Brad Jones, Visit Bellevue's Executive Director. 'This brand reflects Bellevue's pulse – creative, global, welcoming, and constantly evolving. It's a place where culture is celebrated, community is strong, flavor is savored, adventure is invigorating, and discovery is around every corner. Our research suggests that there's only one way to experience Bellevue: Unexpect It.' A SPIRIT OF INNOVATION: The announcement comes at a pivotal moment for the destination, following its strongest tourism year to date in 2024 and a remarkable wave of growth. In the past year alone, Bellevue has welcomed 80 new restaurants, the region's first InterContinental hotel, and new experiences like an award-winning walking food tour, culinary weeks, electric lake cruises, and a downtown recreation center offering easy access to kayaking and paddleboarding. Rooted in its tech-forward DNA, Bellevue is a city built with intention - where innovation isn't just part of the past, but a driving force behind the future. Every detail of the visitor experience reflects years of thoughtful planning and a deep connection to Pacific Northwest values, ultimately creating a destination that provides walkability, sustainability, and accessibility for all. From The Bellhop, the city's all-electric rideshare program, to its ambitious goal of becoming carbon-free by 2040, Bellevue is leading by example. That momentum continues with the launch of the East Link light rail in 2026, just ahead of the FIFA World Cup, which will connect Sea-Tac Airport, Downtown Bellevue, and Downtown Seattle in minutes. Together, these efforts are transforming Bellevue into one of the most connected, car-free, guilt-free, sustainable travel destinations in the country. The new brand arrives right on time to reflect that vision. A BOLD NEW LOOK: LOGO & BRAND IDENTITY As part of the rebrand, Visit Bellevue introduces a new logo that honors the city's roots while looking boldly to the future. Inspired by Bellevue's identity as 'a city within a park', the design blends clean modern fonts with a handwritten script, capturing both its role as a thriving tech hub and its laidback, nature-connected lifestyle. Subtle illustrations of mountain peaks, evergreen trees, and a guiding compass rose reflect Bellevue's unique position as a gateway to adventure with easy access to Greater Seattle, three national parks, ferries and islands, Washington wine country, and endless outdoor pursuits. The result is a visual identity that mirrors the destination: innovative yet grounded, sophisticated yet approachable, and always inviting exploration. 'Working with Visit Bellevue is an incredible opportunity for 62ABOVE. We can't wait to showcase the city's incredible story through a powerful brand narrative that resonates with both locals and visitors alike,' says Greg Carson, President and COO of 62ABOVE. 'Bellevue is a city rich in innovation and natural beauty. Together, we will create a brand that reflects the destination's unique character.' A FRESH NEW MESSAGE: UNEXPECT IT Bellevue's new brand rollout launches with a new campaign: Unexpect It. After months of research and community input, one theme rose to the surface: Bellevue surprises people. The new message captures what travelers consistently say after visiting the destination—that it defied their expectations and delighted them with the unexpected at every turn. From its dynamic dining scene and lush parks to its welcoming local spirit, visitors are continually amazed by all they find here. This spirit of discovery and surprise now anchors the destination's story. The new messaging will unfold across digital, social, print, and experiential platforms, inviting travelers to explore a city that balances the energy of a global hub with the calm of the Pacific Northwest. That same spirit is brought to life in the newly reimagined Mobile Welcome Center, now called The VueFinder, An UnOrdinary Welcome Center. This mobile extension of the brand is designed to meet visitors where they are—whether at local events, parks, or busy downtown corridors. With a playful and people-first approach, the VueFinder helps travelers uncover a place where upscale experiences are approachable, natural beauty is always nearby, and the atmosphere feels warm, inviting, and intentional.
