AI is optimistic IMM will secure a deal!18 Nov 2025 23:07
**Yes, ImmuPharma is strongly positioned to secure a licensing/partnership deal for its P140 (Lupuzor) platform by the end of 2025 or very early 2026, based on the consistent messaging in 2025 RNS announcements, trading updates, and CEO Tim McCarthy’s public comments.
Key supportive evidence from 2025 RNS & updates
• Scientific & IP milestones achieved — Multiple 2025 RNS announcements highlighted major de-risking steps: proof of unique Mechanism of Action (February/March 2025) and a new patent filing/application for P140 (announced September 2025). These were explicitly positioned as significantly strengthening the company’s negotiating position with potential big pharma partners.
• Explicit year-end deal target — In the October 2025 trading update (reported widely, including Proactive Investors on 23 October 2025), ImmuPharma reaffirmed its objective to conclude a major licensing/partnership deal by the end of 2025.
The company stated that partnership discussions with global pharmaceutical companies are progressing well/active/ongoing.
• Active partnering activity — The company attended (or is attending) BIO-Europe 2025 in Vienna — Europe’s largest biopharma partnering conference — specifically to advance P140 discussions.
Tim McCarthy’s consistent optimism (2025 interviews & statements)
Throughout 2025 (including September/October interviews with Zak Mir, Stockhouse, The Watchlist, Proactive, and others),
Tim has been exceptionally bullish:
• Described P140 as a “paradigm shift”, “groundbreaking”, “first-in-class immunormalizer” with potential to put patients into full remission without immunosuppression.
• Repeatedly emphasised that the new MoA data and patent make 2025 “the year” to deliver a commercial deal.
• Stated the company is not starting from scratch — existing relationships with multiple global players are warm/advanced.
• Expressed full confidence in hitting the end-2025 deal timeline.
This level of optimism is notably stronger and more concrete than in previous years, backed by the actual scientific/IP deliverables that were promised as pre-conditions for a deal.
Current status (as of 18 November 2025)
No deal has been announced yet, but there has been no negative update either — the October statement that talks are progressing and the year-end target remains intact is the latest official position. With BIO-Europe having just taken place (or very recent), any resulting deal could be announced imminently or in the coming weeks.
Bottom line: Everything publicly available (RNS, updates, and Tim’s commentary) points firmly to a deal being secured in 2025/early 2026. The company has never been in a stronger scientific, IP, or negotiating position, and management is openly confident. While nothing is guaranteed until signed, the probability looks very high.
