ICT-121

LOS ANGELES, May 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd. ("ImmunoCellular") (NYSE MKT: IMUC) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred a net loss of $3.2 million, or $0.05 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.0 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The net loss for the most recent quarter reflects a charge of $416,000 related to the revaluation of the Company's warrant derivatives. For the comparison quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a charge of $2.6 million related to the revaluation of the Company's warrant derivatives. The Company reported that cash used in operations during the first quarter of 2014 was $2.6 million compared to $2.2 million during the first quarter of 2013. The increase in cash usage reflects the ramp-up of clinical trial expenses associated with the Company's ICT-121 and ICT-140 clinical trial activities. In addition, the Company will continue to incur expenses related to the ICT-107 phase II clinical trial patient follow-up and data analysis. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had $25 million in cash. "In the first quarter of 2014, we continued to advance our development pipeline, increase our phase III readiness and lay the groundwork for potential next clinical and regulatory steps in our ICT-107 program in newly diagnosed glioblastoma," said Andrew Gengos, ImmunoCellular Chief Executive Officer. "A highlight of the quarter was the acceptance of our abstract on the phase II ICT-107 results for an oral presentation at the upcoming ASCO meeting, the largest and most prestigious gathering of oncology experts worldwide. Being prominently featured in an oral session can provide us with a valuable opportunity to discuss the updated ICT-107 phase II results with key opinion leaders in the neuro-oncology global community, as well as potential pharmaceutical partners, during, and in conjunction with, our presentation. The matured data we intend to present may provide more insight into potential survival differences among different trial subgroups, and could help us to identify target populations we may want to focus on in a phase III trial. Plans are also well underway for discussions with regulatory agencies in the US and in Europe later this summer, with the goal of clarifying the path forward for ICT-107 in these major markets. Our ICT-121 and ICT-140 programs are also progressing, and we intend to meet with investigators for both of these programs at ASCO."
