Adicet Reports Second Quarter 2023 Financial Results and Provides Business Updates

Announced encouraging safety and efficacy data in ongoing Phase 1 study of ADI-001 for the potential treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL)

On track to report a clinical update for ADI-001 in second half of 2024

Plan to file Investigational New Drug Application (IND) for ADI-925 in H2 2023 and ADI-270 in H1 2024

Strong balance sheet with $205.5 million in cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023

Adicet Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACET), a clinical stage biotechnology company discovering and developing allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapies for cancer, today reported financial results and operational highlights for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.

“Throughout the first half of 2023, Adicet has achieved several clinical, regulatory and scientific milestones. Specifically, we are encouraged by the clinical results observed in our ongoing Phase 1 study of ADI-001 in patients heavily pretreated with a median of 4 prior lines therapy. The results were particularly meaningful given that 50% of patients enrolled in our study had previously progressed following autologous CAR T therapy,” said Chen Schor, President and Chief Executive Officer at Adicet Bio. “We are initiating an expansion cohort, EXPAND, in post CAR T LBCL patients based on our Phase 1 GLEAN study, and will continue to enroll mantle cell lymphoma patients, as we progress towards initiating our potentially pivotal program in 2024.”

Mr. Schor added, “We declared our third clinical candidate, ADI-270, which serves as our first foray to solid tumors, starting with renal cell carcinoma. ADI-270 leverages our gamma delta1 T cells, which are designed to home to solid tumors as a key differentiated property, with a highly specific targeting moiety for CD70 and an armoring technology of dominant negative TGF beta to address immunosuppressive factors in the tumor microenvironment. We expect to file an IND for ADI-270 in the first half of 2024, following our IND for ADI-925 in the second half of 2023.”

Second Quarter 2023 and Recent Operational Highlights:

  • Announced additional safety and efficacy data from ongoing Phase 1 study of ADI-001. In June, Adicet reported safety and efficacy data from the Company’s ongoing Phase 1 study of ADI-001 for the potential treatment of relapsed or refractory aggressive B-cell NHL. As of the May 4, 2023 data-cut date, ADI-001 demonstrated 71% overall response rate (ORR) and 63% complete response (CR) rate across all dose levels in patients with median 4 prior lines of therapy. ADI-001 was generally well-tolerated in the study and there were no occurrences of dose-limiting toxicities or graft vs host disease.



    In May, the Company completed a Type B meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and plans to transition the ADI-001 program into a potentially pivotal single arm Phase 2 study in post-CAR T LBCL under an accelerated approval pathway in 2024. Adicet is initiating an expansion cohort, EXPAND, in post CAR T LBCL patients based on the Phase 1 study, and will continue to enroll mantle cell lymphoma patients as the Company progresses towards initiating its potentially pivotal program in 2024. Adicet expects to provide a clinical update in the second half of 2024.

  • Continuing to advance broad pipeline of CAR and chimeric antigen adaptor (CAd) gamma delta T cell product candidates. The Company continues to advance its pipeline of first-in-class CAR and CAd gamma delta T cell product candidates targeting hematologic and solid malignancies. Adicet expects to submit an IND for ADI-925 in the second half of 2023.



    In May, Adicet presented encouraging preclinical data at the 26th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) demonstrating proof-of-concept for ADI-270, an armored CD70-targeted allogeneic gamma delta CAR T cell development candidate. Adicet expects to submit an IND Application for ADI-270 in the first half of 2024.

  • Appointed Katie Peng to Board of Directors. In July, Adicet announced the appointment of Katie Peng to the Company’s Board of Directors. Ms. Peng brings extensive industry and commercial expertise to the Board. She currently serves as Chief Commercial Officer at Denali Therapeutics Inc., where she is leading the global commercialization efforts of Denali’s pipeline.

Financial Results for Second Quarter 2023:

  • Research and Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $28.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $16.2 million during the same period in 2022. The $12.2 million increase is primarily driven by a $3.7 million increase in payroll and personnel expenses resulting from an increase in overall headcount and a $3.4 million increase in expenses related to contract drug manufacturing organizations and other externally conducted research and development. There was also a $2.7 million increase in allocated facility expenses and a $2.1 million increase in laboratory expenses. Payroll and personnel expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 includes $2.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense compared to $1.9 million during the same period in 2022.
  • General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $6.5 million during the same period in 2022. Payroll and personnel expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2023 includes $2.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense compared to $2.4 million during the same period in 2022.
  • Net Loss: Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was $32.4 million, or a net loss of $0.75 per basic and diluted share, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $5.0 million, as compared to a net loss of $22.5 million during the same period in 2022, or a net loss of $0.56 per basic and diluted share, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $4.3 million.
  • Cash Position: Cash and cash equivalents were $205.5 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to $257.7 million as of December 31, 2023. The Company expects that current cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses into the first half of 2025.
