Immunome, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMNM) is in the spotlight on December 16, 2025, after the company reported positive topline Phase 3 results for its lead desmoid tumor program and then moved to raise significant new capital—two catalysts that can push a biotech stock in opposite directions at the same time. On the one hand: a clear late-stage efficacy win that supports an FDA filing. On the other: a proposed $400 million common stock offering that introduces near-term dilution risk. [1]
Below is a comprehensive, news-driven look at what happened, what analysts are forecasting, and what matters next for IMNM stock as of today.
Why Immunome stock is moving: the RINGSIDE Phase 3 headline
Immunome announced positive topline data from its global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 RINGSIDE trial of varegacestat (a once-daily oral gamma secretase inhibitor) in patients with progressing desmoid tumors. The study randomized 156 patients to varegacestat 1.2 mg daily or placebo until progression or death, with progression-free survival (PFS) as the primary endpoint assessed by blinded independent central review. [2]
Key efficacy numbers investors are reacting to
According to Immunome’s topline release and SEC disclosure, RINGSIDE hit its key endpoints with a wide margin:
- PFS:84% reduction in risk of progression or death (hazard ratio 0.16, p<0.0001) versus placebo. [3]
- Confirmed objective response rate (ORR):56% with varegacestat vs 9% with placebo (p<0.0001), per RECIST v1.1 and central review. [4]
- Tumor volume: Immunome reported a large separation in tumor volume change at week 24 (often translated in coverage as roughly -83% vs +11%). [5]
- Pain: The company highlighted improvement in pain intensity using a patient-reported outcome instrument as part of its controlled secondary endpoints. [6]
In plain English: the trial didn’t just squeak by statistically—it produced a big efficacy gap versus placebo, which is why the market response has been so energetic.
Reuters described the readout as a “knockout,” while also emphasizing the competitive implications in a niche market currently defined by SpringWorks’ approved therapy (Ogsiveo/nirogacestat), now owned by Merck KGaA. [7]
Safety profile: what was reported—and what investors will still want to see
Immunome said varegacestat was generally well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with the gamma secretase inhibitor class. In the treatment arm, the most common adverse events included:
- Diarrhea (82%)
- Fatigue (44%)
- Rash (43%)
- Nausea (35%)
- Cough (34%)
Most events were grade 1–2, per the company’s topline summary. [8]
One safety topic matters disproportionately for this drug class: ovarian toxicity. In Immunome’s SEC disclosure, approximately 55.6% of premenopausal women experienced ovarian toxicity. [9]
That figure has been repeatedly compared (in analyst commentary and industry analysis) to reported ovarian toxicity rates on the currently marketed comparator in the class, which is one reason investors are waiting for the full dataset and more granular subgroup detail.
Immunome has said it plans to share additional RINGSIDE data at an upcoming major medical conference—so today’s move is happening on topline results plus early framing, not a full conference-style deep dive. [10]
The regulatory timeline: Immunome is guiding to an NDA in Q2 2026
Based on the topline readout, Immunome stated it plans to submit a New Drug Application (NDA) in Q2 2026 to the U.S. FDA. [11]
That matters because “Phase 3 win → NDA timing” is the bridge investors use to estimate:
- how soon approval could happen,
- how soon revenue could start,
- and how much capital the company needs to get through launch.
Which leads directly to the second major headline dominating IMNM stock chatter today.
The $400 million offering: why it matters (and why the market always flinches)
Shortly after the Phase 3 news, Immunome announced plans to commence an underwritten public offering of $400 million of common stock, subject to market conditions, and filed a preliminary prospectus supplement. [12]
What the filing says—straight from the prospectus
Key points from the SEC prospectus supplement (dated December 15, 2025, subject to completion):
- Immunome is offering $400,000,000 of common stock. [13]
- Underwriters have an option to buy up to an additional $60,000,000 in shares (30-day option). [14]
- The stock trades under IMNM on Nasdaq; the filing cites a $22.64 last reported sale price on December 15, 2025. [15]
- CEO Clay Siegall indicated interest in purchasing up to ~$1,000,000 of shares in the offering (an indication, not a binding commitment). [16]
What Immunome says it wants to do with the money
Immunome’s filing states it intends to use proceeds (together with existing cash) to fund:
- the potential commercial launch of varegacestat in desmoid tumors,
- continued commercial development and manufacturing scale-up for varegacestat,
- continued development of other pipeline assets,
- and general corporate purposes. [17]
The same prospectus supplement adds a runway statement investors will quote a lot: Immunome estimates that its existing cash and cash equivalents plus estimated net proceeds from this offering would be sufficient to fund projected operations into 2028 (based on its assumptions). [18]
Dilution math: the part bulls tolerate and traders punish
The prospectus provides a snapshot of capital structure that frames dilution concerns:
- 91,706,948 shares outstanding as of September 30, 2025
- 15,695,808 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options (weighted-average exercise price $10.09)
- Additional shares reserved under equity plans and inducement plans [19]
In biotech land, this is the classic trade-off: raise capital after a strong catalyst (usually the best time to do it) versus the immediate reality that new shares can cap momentum until the deal is priced.
Analyst forecasts and price targets on IMNM stock: what changed on Dec. 16, 2025
With Phase 3-risk largely reduced, analysts moved quickly to update their models and price targets.
Big headline raises
- Evercore ISI raised its Immunome price target to $40 (from $18) while maintaining an Outperform rating, citing the positive Phase 3 data. [20]
- Leerink also raised its price target to $40 (from $38) and maintained an Outperform rating, according to a widely-circulated research-note summary. [21]
- Wedbush raised its target to $31 (from $21) and reiterated an outperform-equivalent rating, per coverage summarizing the note. [22]
Where the broader consensus sits
Consensus numbers vary by data provider and update timing, but one commonly cited set of ranges today is:
- Average price target: about $26–$27
- High / low range: roughly $40 high and $18 low [23]
Take these targets as scenario markers, not GPS coordinates. In a clinical-stage biotech, price targets swing hard based on:
- perceived probability of approval,
- commercial penetration assumptions,
- safety/label details (especially around ovarian toxicity warnings),
- and the cost of launch.
Competitive context: why desmoid tumors suddenly look like a “real” commercial market
Desmoid tumors are rare, but they are not a “science project” indication anymore. Immunome cites:
- ~1,000–1,650 diagnoses per year in the U.S.
- ~10,000–11,000 actively managed U.S. patients [24]
The market already has an approved gamma secretase inhibitor option (Ogsiveo/nirogacestat). Analysts and industry watchers are therefore focusing on whether varegacestat could be best-in-class on a mix of efficacy, tolerability, and label flexibility. [25]
One reason this space draws investor attention: M&A precedent. Industry analysis has pointed out that SpringWorks (the original Ogsiveo developer) was acquired by Merck KGaA, which keeps “takeout talk” in the background whenever a competitor posts strong Phase 3 data. [26]
Financial position: what we know from filings heading into the offering
Before any new proceeds, Immunome reported (as of September 30, 2025) approximately:
- $272.6 million in cash and cash equivalents
- A net loss of $142.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (per its 10‑Q) [27]
This is typical for a clinical-stage oncology company building a pipeline. The new offering—if completed—would meaningfully increase balance sheet flexibility going into NDA preparation and (potentially) launch buildout.
What to watch next for Immunome stock
Over the next several weeks and quarters, the “IMNM story” is likely to be driven by a short list of concrete catalysts:
1) Offering terms and pricing
Until the $400M deal is priced and allocated, the stock can trade with an “offering overhang.” The market will watch:
- final offering price (discount or not),
- size (does it stay $400M?),
- and whether the $60M overallotment option gets exercised. [28]
2) Full RINGSIDE dataset (especially safety granularity)
Topline numbers can move a stock. Full data can change the shape of the narrative—particularly around:
- durability of response,
- quality-of-life endpoints,
- discontinuation rates,
- ovarian toxicity detail (reversibility, management, subgroup breakdown),
- and any unexpected safety findings.
Immunome has said more RINGSIDE data will be presented at a major medical conference. [29]
3) FDA interaction and NDA execution risk
“Plan to file in Q2 2026” is not the same as “FDA accepts and approves without friction.” Investors will track:
- meeting cadence (Type C / pre-NDA),
- whether FDA requests extra analyses or follow-up,
- and timing updates as the submission window approaches. [30]
4) Commercial readiness signals
Some coverage has noted expectations that an initial launch could focus on major U.S. sarcoma centers and that payer coverage could be strong, but execution details will matter: hiring, specialty pharmacy distribution, patient support, and physician adoption. [31]
5) Pipeline optionality beyond varegacestat
The prospectus supplement outlines additional pipeline programs and timelines, including:
- IM‑1021 (ROR1 antibody-drug conjugate) in Phase 1, with initial data targeted in 2026
- IM‑3050 (FAP-targeted radioligand therapy) with Phase 1 initiation planned in early 2026 after radiotracer supply logistics [32]
A second meaningful pipeline catalyst can reduce the market’s tendency to value IMNM as “one drug + cash burn.”
Bottom line for Dec. 16, 2025
Immunome stock is reacting to a classic biotech one-two punch: a strong Phase 3 win that supports an NDA target in Q2 2026, plus a large proposed equity raise intended to fund launch and pipeline development. [33]
Analysts are responding by moving targets upward—some aggressively—while the market balances long-term value creation against near-term dilution mechanics and the need to see full clinical details. [34]
