Cell TherapyPhase 1Clinical ResultFast Track
ADI-001 demonstrated 75% overall response rate (ORR) and 69% complete response (CR) across all dose levels with favorable safety and tolerability profile in patients with relapsed/refractory high-grade aggressive NHL, as of December 5, 2022 data-cut date
100% ORR and CR rate in 5/5 anti-CD19 autologous chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) relapsed large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) patients
86% CR rate in LBCL patients across dose level three (DL3) and above (75% CR rate in LBCL patients across all dose levels)
Both dose level 2 (DL2) and DL3 demonstrated a six-month CR rate of 33%; Patient follow up continues in dose level 4 (DL4) to assess six-month durability

REDWOOD CITY, CA & BOSTON, MA, USA I December 10, 2022 I Adicet Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACET), a clinical stage biotechnology company discovering and developing allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapies for cancer, today announced positive safety and efficacy data from the Company’s ongoing Phase 1 study of ADI-001 for the potential treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell NHL. The Company believes these data continue to support the potential of Adicet’s investigational gamma delta CAR T cell therapy to provide significant benefit both in terms of anti-tumor activity and safety. Based on the study findings as of a December 5, 2022 data-cut date, Adicet plans to transition ADI-001 into a potentially pivotal program in the second quarter of 2023.
“It is very encouraging to see durability of response at six months and beyond along with a continued favorable safety profile in patients with aggressive lymphomas,” said Francesco Galimi, M.D., Ph.D., Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Adicet Bio. “Notably, a 100% complete response rate with ADI-001 in post-autologous CAR T-relapsed LBCL patients may offer a potential treatment option to those patients, who do not currently have effective therapies.”
“These data are exciting and support our belief that ADI-001 has the potential to generate meaningful clinical responses for patients,” said Chen Schor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Adicet Bio. “Based on the positive data reported today, we plan to transition ADI-001 into a potential pivotal program with a potentially best-in-class ORR, CR and durability profile in the second quarter of 2023.”
“As these data mature, it is impressive to see continued complete responses across all dose levels including six-month durable responses and a 100% ORR and CR rate in LBCL patients previously treated with autologous CAR T therapy,” said Sattva Neelapu, M.D., Professor in the Department of Lymphoma/Myeloma at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. “Achieving these results in such high-risk patients with aggressive disease suggests that an allogeneic gamma delta CAR T cell therapy like ADI-001 could provide a significant advance for NHL patients.”
Data highlights as of the December 5, 2022 data-cut date were as follows:

+Safety assessment was performed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (v5) and the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy criteria.
Enrollment in the Phase 1 clinical study of ADI-001 is currently ongoing to provide additional durability data and further support the recommended Phase 2 dose.
The Company expects to discuss with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) a potential path to support a Biologics License Application (BLA) and Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for ADI-001, including potential pivotal studies in post-CAR-T LBCL patients and in earlier line LBCL patients, respectively.

About ADI-001
ADI-001 is an investigational allogeneic gamma delta CAR T cell therapy being developed as a potential treatment for relapsed or refractory B-cell NHL. ADI-001 targets malignant B-cells via an anti-CD20 CAR and via the gamma delta innate and T cell endogenous cytotoxicity receptors. Gamma delta T cells engineered with an anti-CD20 CAR have demonstrated potent anti-tumor activity in preclinical models, leading to long-term control of tumor growth. In April 2022, ADI-001 was granted Fast Track Designation by the FDA for the potential treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell NHL.
About the GLEAN Study
This Phase 1 study is an open-label, multi-center study of ADI-001 enrolling adults diagnosed with B-cell malignancies who have either relapsed, or are refractory to, at least two prior regimens. The primary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ADI-001, and to determine optimal dosing as a monotherapy. The study is expected to enroll approximately 75 patients. For more information about the clinical study design, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT04735471).
Adicet Bio, Inc. is a clinical stage biotechnology company discovering and developing allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapies for cancer. Adicet is advancing a pipeline of “off-the-shelf” gamma delta T cells, engineered with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) and adaptors (CAds), to enhance selective tumor targeting and facilitate innate and adaptive anti-tumor immune response for durable activity in patients.
