What OSE Immunotherapeutics does
OSE Immunotherapeutics SA is a French clinical-stage biotechnology company listed on Euronext Paris (ticker ORPOF/epa:OSE), headquartered in Nantes with additional offices in Paris and a headcount of approximately 65 employees. The company is developing first-in-class immunotherapies across two therapeutic verticals — immuno-oncology and immuno-inflammation — built on four proprietary preclinical platforms: a pro-resolutive monoclonal antibody platform, a myeloid checkpoint platform, the BiCKI bifunctional fusion protein platform (built around an anti-PD1 backbone), and an mRNA therapeutic platform for local immune modulation. Its clinical pipeline centers on three directly-controlled assets — Tedopi® (OSE2101), a neoepitope-based T-cell activating cancer vaccine in Phase 3 for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) under the ARTEMIA trial and Phase 2 in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer (TEDOVA); Lusvertikimab (OSE-127), an anti-IL-7R (CD127) monoclonal antibody in Phase 2 for ulcerative colitis; and OSE-279, an anti-PD1 antibody in Phase 1/2 — supplemented by partnered programs licensed to AbbVie (ABBV-230), Boehringer Ingelheim (BI 765063, BI 770371), Veloxis Pharmaceuticals (pegrizeprument/FR104 for transplant), and Chong Kun Dang (Tedopi in Korea).
The business model is asset-light and partnership-driven: OSE generates revenue almost exclusively from upfront payments, development and sales milestones, and royalties under these licensing deals, with total contracted potential value of up to €2.1 billion and approximately €219 million already collected. End-customer "revenue" exposure is to patient populations (NSCLC patients with secondary resistance to checkpoint inhibitors, platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer patients, ulcerative colitis patients, and transplant recipients) accessed either through partners' commercialization channels or through named-patient/compassionate-use programs for Tedopi in France, Italy, and Spain. As of March 31, 2026, the company reported a €17.0 million cash position, a €37.7 million net loss for FY2025 (versus a €37.4 million net income in FY2024 driven by the AbbVie upfront), and acknowledged that it lacks sufficient working capital for the next 12 months without further financing — making its survival contingent on either a positive ARTEMIA Phase 3 readout (expected Q1 2028) or additional partnership/financing events before end-2026.

Product offeringCore offering
OSE Immunotherapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that discovers and develops first-in-class immunotherapies in immuno-oncology and immuno-inflammation. Its lead asset, Tedopi (OSE2101), is a T-specific neoepitope cancer vaccine in Phase 3 development for non-small cell lung cancer, with positive Phase 2 results in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. Additional clinical assets include Lusvertikimab (OSE-127, anti-IL-7R for ulcerative colitis), OSE-279 (anti-PD1), and partnered programs Pegrizeprument/FR104 (Veloxis), BI 765063 and BI 770371 (Boehringer Ingelheim), and ABBV-230 (AbbVie). Revenue is generated through licensing agreements, milestone payments, royalties, and public research grants rather than direct product sales.
Product overview
OSE Immunotherapeutics is an integrated French biotech company developing first-in-class immunotherapies in immuno-oncology and immuno-inflammation. The portfolio centers on three clinical-stage products: Tedopi® (OSE2101), a T-specific cancer vaccine in Phase 3 for non-small cell lung cancer and Phase 2 for ovarian cancer; Lusvertikimab (OSE-127), an IL-7 receptor antibody in Phase 2 for ulcerative colitis; and OSE-279, an anti-PD1 antibody in Phase 1/2 for solid tumors. Additional partnered products include BI 765063/SIRPα inhibitor (with Boehringer Ingelheim) and Pegrizeprument/FR104 (licensed to Veloxis for transplant). Four proprietary technology platforms support the pipeline: the BiCKI® bifunctional fusion protein platform, mRNA therapeutic platform, pro-resolutive monoclonal antibody platform, and myeloid checkpoint platform. Products are developed directly or through international pharmaceutical partnerships with AbbVie, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Veloxis.

Products and services
- Tedopi® (OSE2101) T-specific immunotherapy based on highly selected neoepitopes. Activates T lymphocytes capable of killing tumor cells they have learned to recognize. Most advanced asset, in Phase 3 clinical development for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in second-line HLA-A2 positive patients with secondary resistance to checkpoint inhibitors, and in Phase 2 (TEDOVA) for platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer as maintenance therapy. Also accessible through compassionate use programs in France, Italy, and Spain.
- Lusvertikimab (OSE-127) Anti-IL-7 receptor (CD127) monoclonal antibody that modulates effector and regulatory T-cell balance to restore immune tolerance. In Phase 2 clinical development for ulcerative colitis, with a subcutaneous formulation in development. Key wholly owned immuno-inflammation asset.
- OSE-279 Anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody that blocks a T-lymphocyte brake to enable activation of non-specific T cells in oncology. Currently in Phase 1/2 clinical trial in advanced solid tumors and lymphomas. Serves as the backbone component of the BiCKI bifunctional fusion protein platform.
- Pegrizeprument (FR104 / VEL-101) Monovalent pegylated monoclonal antibody fragment targeting CD28 to selectively block T-cell activation while preserving CTLA-4 immunosuppressive function. Licensed to Veloxis Pharmaceuticals for all transplant indications. Received FDA Orphan Drug Designation for prevention of organ rejection in liver (January 2026) and heart (April 2026) transplantation. OSE retains rights for autoimmune indications.
- BI 765063 (OSE-172) Anti-SIRPα monoclonal antibody targeting the SIRPα/CD47 axis on myeloid cells to enhance tumor cell phagocytosis. Developed and funded by Boehringer Ingelheim under a 2018 global license agreement in advanced solid tumors. Positive Phase 1 results enabled initiation of two ongoing Phase 1 cohort expansion trials.
- BI 770371 Next-generation anti-SIRPα inhibitor antibody from OSE's Myeloid Checkpoint platform, licensed to Boehringer Ingelheim. Developed initially in oncology and expanded in 2024 to cardiovascular-renal-metabolic diseases, including MASH where it was discontinued after Phase 2 failure in 2026 (oncology development continues).
- ABBV-230 (OSE-230) Pro-resolutive monoclonal antibody targeting G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) to optimize the therapeutic potential of neutrophils and macrophages in resolving chronic inflammation. First candidate from OSE's Pro-resolutive mAb Platform, originally licensed to AbbVie in February 2024. OSE paused the program in March 2026 following AbbVie's decision not to exercise its option post-Phase 1.
- CLEC-1 (anti-CLEC-1 monoclonal antibody) Novel anti-CLEC-1 monoclonal antibody from OSE's Myeloid Checkpoint platform that targets CLEC-1, an immune regulatory receptor expressed by macrophages and dendritic cells, to transform suppressive tumor microenvironments into effector states. Showed positive preclinical results in monotherapy for oncology applications; exploratory research discontinued in March 2026 as part of strategic refocusing.
Quantifiable outcome
