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. (Otto et al., 2011)
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).
ProIBS®
Immuron has an exclusive distribution agreement with Calmino goup AB for the territories of Australia and New Zealand for
ProIBS®. ProIBS® - to help patients treat IBS symptoms ProIBS® is a certified medical device for the treatment of IBS symptoms
such as abdominal pain, bloating and unsettled bowel movements (diarrhoea and/or constipation). ProIBS® contains AVH200®,
derived from the plant Aloe barbadensis. Mill. AVH200® has gel forming components which support the intestinal mucosal
barrier. As IBS is known to affect individuals for a long period of time, it is essential to have a treatment appropriate for long-
term use –as ProIBS® is. The product is safe, and no interactions with other medications are known. Science-driven innovative
Calmino group AB, the developer of ProIBS®, conducted a usability study among 1,003 users. PROIBS® was helpful for 94% of
them. 91% of the users experienced an improvement in daily life and 98% would recommend PROIBS® to someone else. To
learn more please check: www.proibs.eu.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common condition where you experience symptoms related to your digestive system. This is
sometimes linked to certain foods, lifestyle habits and stress levels or mood. IBS affects around 3 out of every 10 people.
Females are more likely than males to be affected. Some key symptoms of IBS include: abdominal pain or discomfort; stomach
bloating and wind; chronic diarrhoea or constipation, or alternating between the two.(healthdirect.gov.au) According to
available data, the IBS treatment market in Australia is estimated to be a part of the broader "Digestives & Intestinal Remedies"
market, generating a revenue of around AU$221.14 million in 2025, with a projected annual growth rate of 3.28%.(Statista)
