9 9  Preclinical research has demonstrated that PI3K-gamma is highly expressed in tumor-associated macrophages and that blockade of PI3K-gamma signaling by treatment with IPI-549 results in a reprogramming of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment from the M2, or pro-tumor, phenotype to the M1, or anti-tumor, phenotype. This shift increased the number and activity of anti-tumor T cells that can attack the tumor and also increased the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can further stimulate an anti-tumor immune response. Preclinical data from multiple solid tumor models demonstrated that IPI-549 was active as a monotherapy and that IPI-549 administered in combination with checkpoint inhibition led to enhanced activity compared to either treatment alone. Additionally, preclinical tumor model data demonstrated that M2 pro-tumor macrophages are associated with resistance to checkpoint inhibition and that treatment with IPI-549 in combination with checkpoint inhibitors is able to overcome this resistance. These preclinical data further elucidate the mechanism of action for IPI-549 by demonstrating that PI3K-gamma plays a key role in the immuno-suppressive tumor microenvironment.

Additionally, Infinity Pharmaceuticals is obligated to pay its former strategic collaborators Mundipharma International Corporation Limited, or Mundipharma, and Purdue Pharmaceutical Products L.P., or Purdue, a 4% royalty in the aggregate on worldwide net sales of products that were previously subject to the strategic alliance, including IPI-549, until such time as Mundipharma and Purdue have recovered approximately $260 million in royalty payments from all products that were previously subject to the strategic alliance. After this cost recovery, which represents the funding paid to it for research and development services performed by it under its strategic alliance, its royalty obligations to Mundipharma and Purdue will be reduced to a 1% royalty on net sales in the United States of products that were previously subject to the strategic alliance, including IPI-549.
