Adicet Provides Corporate Update and Highlights Strategic Priorities for 2024
Expanding clinical development of ADI-001 into autoimmune diseases following clearance of Investigational New Drug Application (IND); plan to initiate Phase 1 clinical study in 2Q 2024
Focusing enrollment on mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) in ongoing ADI-001 Phase 1 clinical trial given favorable complete response (CR) rate, durability, and safety
ADI-001 clinical update expected 2H 2024
ADI-270 IND submission in renal cell carcinoma expected in 2Q 2024
Updated cash runway into 2H 2025
“In 2024, we aim to make significant strides across our pipeline of differentiated gamma delta T cell therapies through our strategic and disciplined approach,” said
Program Updates and Expected Milestones for 2024
ADI-001 is an investigational allogeneic gamma delta CAR T cell therapy targeting CD20 for the potential treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL) and autoimmune diseases.
Autoimmune diseases
-
IND cleared for lupus nephritis. In
December 2023 , the FDA cleared Adicet’s IND application for ADI-001 in lupus nephritis. - Initiate Phase 1 clinical trial of ADI-001 for the treatment of lupus nephritis in the second quarter of 2024. The Company plans to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of ADI-001 in lupus nephritis and may provide a clinical update from the trial in the second half of 2024. Adicet expects to expand into additional autoimmune indications in the near future.
Hematologic malignancies
-
Focus enrollment on MCL patients in ongoing Phase 1 GLEAN study. Adicet will focus on the MCL patient population in the ongoing Phase 1 GLEAN study (at dose level 4), which experienced the greatest clinical benefit in the
June 2023 update. While these were early data, an 80% CR rate and 60% 6-month CR rate in late line MCL patients were reported in theJune 2023 clinical update, Cmax and exposure by area under the curve (AUC) exceeded that of approved autologous CD19 CAR T therapies, and a favorable safety profile was observed with no significant risk of cytokine release syndrome, immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome or T-cell malignancies. These initial clinical results, coupled with the potential to dose off-the-shelf in a community setting, support ADI-001 as a potentially attractive therapy for MCL patients. The Company is evaluating the option of advancing ADI-001 to a potentially pivotal study in MCL patients under an accelerated approval pathway. - The Company remains on track to provide an ADI-001 clinical update in the second half of 2024.
ADI-270 is an investigational allogeneic gamma delta CAR T cell therapy targeting CD70 via the CD27-ligand for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma with potential in other solid tumor indications. ADI-270 is designed to home to solid tumors, with a highly specific targeting moiety for CD70 and an armoring technology of TGF beta dominant- negative receptor to address immunosuppressive factors in the tumor microenvironment. Building on gamma delta 1 tissue tropism to solid tumors and three mechanisms of anti-tumor activity (CAR, innate and adaptive), CAR gamma delta 1 T cells may be well positioned to address solid tumors.
Renal cell carcinoma
- Plan to file IND for ADI-270 in 2Q 2024. Following positive feedback from a pre-IND meeting with the FDA, the Company remains on track to file an IND application for ADI-270 in the second quarter of 2024.
Financial Outlook
-
The Company expects cash and cash equivalents on hand as of
December 31, 2023 , to enable funding for current and planned operations into the second half of 2025.

Any forward-looking statements in this press release are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs of future events, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those set forth in or implied by such forward-looking statements, including without limitation, the effect of global economic conditions and public health emergencies on Adicet’s business and financial results, including with respect to disruptions to our preclinical and clinical studies, business operations, employee hiring and retention, and ability to raise additional capital; Adicet’s ability to execute on its strategy including obtaining the requisite regulatory approvals on the expected timeline, if at all; that positive results, including interim results, from a preclinical or clinical study may not necessarily be predictive of the results of future or ongoing studies; clinical studies may fail to demonstrate adequate safety and efficacy of Adicet’s product candidates, which would prevent, delay, or limit the scope of regulatory approval and commercialization; and regulatory approval processes of the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities are lengthy, time-consuming, and inherently unpredictable; and Adicet’s ability to meet production and product release expectations.
