CAMBRIDGE, Mass., January 13, 2020 Infinity Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INFI) today announced 2020 milestones for IPI-549, a first-in-class, oral, immuno-oncology product candidate targeting immune-suppressive tumor-associated myeloid cells through selective phosphoinositide-3-kinase-gamma (PI3K-gamma) inhibition and provided financial guidance for 2020.
Our recently announced non-dilutive financing with BVF Partners has provided Infinity with the financial resources to fully fund all of our ongoing IPI-549 trials to key data readouts throughout 2020 and into 2H 2021, stated Adelene Perkins, Chief Executive Officer and Chair of Infinity Pharmaceuticals. 2020 will be a very exciting and important year for Infinity as we continue our efforts to expand the development of IPI-549 across earlier lines of therapy and broader indications, leveraging a safety profile that enables innovative combination therapy approaches. We continue to see growing recognition of the importance of MDSC-directed and tumor macrophage-directed immuno-oncology therapies among the medical and scientific communities, and we are well positioned to solidify our leadership in the field with expected clinical and translational data from IPI-549 studies in 2020 to mid-2021.
Infinitys Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Adelene Perkins, will discuss the companys continued execution on its corporate strategy and 2020 priorities as part of a podium presentation at the 38th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference on January 16th, 2020 at 9 a.m. Pacific Time.

About Infinity and IPI-549
Infinity is an innovative biopharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing novel medicines for people with cancer. Infinity is advancing IPI-549, a first-in-class, oral immuno-oncology development candidate that selectively inhibits PI3K-gamma, in multiple clinical studies. MARIO-275 is a global, randomized, controlled combination study of IPI-549 combined with Opdivo in I/O naïve urothelial cancer patients for which enrollment is expected to be completed in 2020 with data by mid-2021. MARIO-3 is the first IPI-549 combination study in front-line advanced cancer patients and is evaluating IPI-549 in combination with Tecentriq and Abraxane in front-line TNBC and in combination with Tecentriq and Avastin in front-line RCC and is also expected to complete enrollment in 2020 with initial data expected in 2020. In collaboration with Arcus Biosciences, Infinity is evaluating a checkpoint inhibitor-free, novel combination regimen of IPI-549 plus AB928 (dual adenosine receptor antagonist) plus Doxil in advanced TNBC patients. In 2019 Infinity completed enrollment in MARIO-1, a Phase 1/1b study evaluating IPI-549 as a monotherapy and in combination with Opdivo (nivolumab) in patients with advanced solid tumors including patients refractory to checkpoint inhibitor therapy. Data presented from MARIO-1 to date show that IPI-549 has activity and leads to a reduction in the number of circulating myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) as both a monotherapy and in combination with Opdivo and additional data is expected in 2020. With these studies Infinity is evaluating IPI-549 in the anti-PD-1 refractory, I/O-naïve, and front-line settings. For more information on Infinity, please refer to Infinitys website at www.infi.com.

Such forward-looking statements include those regarding: the expected benefits from the financing, Infinitys expectation that its cash on hand will be sufficient to fund its operations into 2H 2021, the therapeutic potential of PI3K-gamma selective inhibition and IPI-549, alone and in combination with other cancer therapies; clinical trial enrollment and data presentation timelines; financial guidance; and Infinitys ability to execute on its strategic plans. Such statements are subject to numerous important factors, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events or results to differ materially from the companys current expectations. For example, there can be no guarantee that IPI-549 will successfully complete necessary preclinical and clinical development phases.

These and other risks which may impact managements expectations are described in greater detail under the caption Risk Factors included in Infinitys annual report and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and in other filings that Infinity makes with the SEC, available through the companys website at www.infi.com.
