Innate Pharma SA IPHYF, the innate immunity company developing first-in-class drugs for cancer and inflammatory diseases, today announces that the Data and Safety Monitoring Board ("DSMB") completed its first assessment of the EffiKIR study and unanimously recommended continuation of the trial without modification.

DSMBs are customarily established for large randomized multisite studies. Hervé Brailly, CEO of Innate Pharma, said: "We are very pleased to see that the EffiKIR trial is progressing on track, with this first DSMB review and with more than a third of the patients already accrued".
