Immutep (ASX:IMM), a cancer immunotherapy developer, collapsed after a pivotal trial failure. In March 2026, Pengana Capital Group reported Immutep failed a futility analysis in its Phase 3 lung cancer trial, an unexpected result that caused an 85% share price fall. Cyan, Perennial, Renaissance and Quest also cited the collapse, with Renaissance noting most of the company's value was attributed to the trial, and Quest describing it as a shock that hurt fund performance. Immutep operates in the Healthcare sector within the Biotechnology industry, and Thesis Tracker has captured 14 comments from 5 fund managers, including Pengana, Cyan, Perennial, Renaissance and Quest.
