Adicet Bio is a clinical stage biotechnology company discovering and developing allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancer.
Adicet is advancing a pipeline of “off-the-shelf” gamma delta T cells, engineered with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs), to facilitate durable activity in patients.
Distinct among immune cell populations, we believe allogeneic, off-the-shelf, gamma delta T cells may have the following combination of attributes:
- Actively cytotoxic to tumor cells;
- Express both T cell and natural killer (NK) cell receptors, facilitating both adaptive and innate anti-tumor immune responses; this may help address treating tumors that are heterogeneic (diverse);
- Can replicate in an appropriate and measured way; reactivity to tumor cells is enhanced by engineering of the cell;
- May functionally persist in patients for clinically meaningful periods of time;
- Have distinct advantage in solid tumors, as gamma delta 1 T cells primarily reside and function in tissues;
- Can be used “off-the-shelf” and potentially manufactured in large numbers to facilitate consistent treatment of many patients, avoiding the cumbersome nature and expense of isolating cells from each patient.
ADI-001
Our lead product candidate, 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 antitumor activity in preclinical models, leading to long-term control of tumor growth.
ADI-001 has shown encouraging early efficiacy and favorable safety in heavily pretreated aggressive NHL patients in initial Phase 1 clinical studies.
In April 2022, ADI-001 was granted Fast Track Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the potential treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell NHL.
ADI-270
- ADI-270, an armored CD70 CAR γδ T cell targeting CD70 via the CD27-ligand, has shown superiority to scFv CARs1
- Innate and adaptive targeting mechanisms associated with activity in AML and RCC indications
- Armoring via dominant negative receptor; addresses TGFβ in Tumor Microenvironment2
- Lead CAR demonstrated potency and improved serial killing, and resilience against suppressive factors

ADI-925
- ADI-925 is designed to enhance the innate and adaptive anti-tumor activity of γδ1 T cell
- ADI-925 is an engineered Chimeric Adapter (CAd) γδ1 T cell therapy candidate targeting stress ligands, including MICA/MICB & ULBP1-6, expressed on malignant cells
- ADI-925 has demonstrated increased anti-tumor activity at lower concentrations of γδ1 T cells
- Developed in-house with broad IP on file

Supports functional enhancement illustrated in preclinical models
Armored PSMA CAR γδ T Cell Program
- Lead candidate targeting PSMA demonstrated improved characteristics versus benchmark1
- Heterogeneous PSMA
- Armoring technology via TGFβ-DNR improved activity, serial killing, and functional resilience

Armored B7-H6 CAR γδ T Cell Program
- Potential to be first-in-class B7-H6 targeted cell therapy product in clinic
- B7-H6 is expressed in >95% of CRC cases and other gastrointestinal cancers, where a high level of homing for γδ1 T cells exists1
- Lead optimization is underway for an armored CAR, with current efficacy studies supporting potent anti-tumor activity

Expanded Access
Expanded Access refers to the use of an investigational therapy outside of a clinical trial for potential treatment of a serious or life-threatening condition. Adicet is a clinical stage biotechnology company discovering and developing allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancer. Consistent with our commitment to bring innovative, safe, and effective therapies to patients, we are focused on conducting the clinical trials necessary to gain regulatory approvals to make our therapies available to patients as quickly as possible. Participation in one of our clinical trials is the best way to access Adicet gamma delta T cell investigational therapies. As such, Adicet does not provide access to our investigational therapies on an Expanded Access basis at this time.
We encourage patients interested in our investigational therapies to learn more about our ongoing studies by visiting clinicaltrials.gov. Treating physicians may request additional information about Adicet’s Expanded Access policy by contacting inquiries@adicetbio.com
