Initiated ADI-001 Phase 1 EXPAND cohort in post chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T large B cell lymphoma (LBCL)
Continuing to enroll mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients in ADI-001 Phase 1 study
Prioritizing ADI-270 for solid tumor applications; on track to file ADI-270 Investigational New Drug Application (IND) in 1H 2024
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 third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
"Clinical and translational medicine data for our lead asset ADI-001 in NHL has provided us with valuable insights, which has guided us as we initiated the EXPAND cohort in post CAR T LBCL and continue to enroll MCL patients to the clinical study. For patients with these advanced cancers, the prognosis remains poor and patients are in need of new, more effective and better tolerated therapies," said Chen Schor, President and Chief Executive Officer at Adicet Bio.
"In addition, over the past several months, we have conducted a strategic review of our pipeline to focus our resources on programs with the greatest potential for differentiation and long-term value creation," Mr. Schor added. "On the preclinical front, we are prioritizing the development of ADI-270 as our lead preclinical candidate in renal cell carcinoma and other solid tumor indications. ADI-270 has demonstrated a highly differentiated profile stemming from its unique engineering, including targeting via a CAR that incorporates CD27, addition of dominant negative TGF beta receptor armoring, complimentary innate anti-tumor activity of the gamma delta 1 T cells and tissue tropism to solid tumors. We remain on track to file an IND for ADI-270 in the first half of 2024. With a focused organization and clear priority for advancing a pipeline with the highest probability of success, we believe we are well positioned for long-term success as leaders in the allogeneic T cell therapy field."

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains "forward-looking statements" of Adicet within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to business and operations of Adicet. The words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "target," "would" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, express or implied statements regarding: preclinical and clinical development of Adicet's product candidates, including future plans or expectations for ADI-001, ADI-270 and Adicet's preclinical development pipeline; the potential safety, durability, tolerability and efficacy of ADI-001 and Adicet's other product candidates; the expected progress, timing and success of the Phase 1 study of ADI-001 in relapsed/refractory NHL patients, including expectations around a clinical update in the second half of 2024; the expectations regarding the submission of an IND for ADI-270 in the first half of 2024; the plan to transition ADI-001 into a potentially pivotal Phase 2 study, subject to data readouts and regulatory feedback; the expected timing of additional data in post-CAR T LBCL and MCL patients in the second half of 2024; expectations for Adicet's additional CDMO and its production capabilities; and Adicet's growth as a company, the contributions of its directors and executive officers, and expectations regarding its uses of capital, expenses and financial results, including the expected cash runway.
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. For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, and other important factors, any of which could cause Adicet's actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Adicet's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and our periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K filed with the SEC, as well as discussions of potential risks, uncertainties, and other important factors in Adicet's other filings with the SEC.
