Current report

We are advancing ADI-212, an optimized next-generation gene-edited and armored clinical candidate designed to enhance potency in solid tumors and to deliver multiple anti-tumor mechanisms of action to the tumor microenvironment.

Current report

ADI-212, which targets prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA), has shown enhanced activity in preclinical studies, suggesting the potential for improved potency and tumor-cell killing capacity compared to previous generation alpha-beta and gamma-delta CAR T programs in oncology. We expect to submit a regulatory filing for ADI-212 for the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in the first quarter of 2026. Subject to regulatory clearance to proceed with a clinical trial, we expect to report initial clinical data from this program in the second half of 2026. We believe the potential market opportunity for ADI-212 in mCRPC is significant based on the prevalence in the U.S., EU5, China and Japan of approximately 75,000 patients with second or third line advanced disease.

Current report

On July 22, 2025, our board of directors approved a reduction in our workforce by approximately 30% of our current employee base in connection with our strategic pipeline prioritization, including the discontinuation of development of ADI-270. Please refer to Note 19 in the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Current report

Research and development expenses increased by $2.5 million, or 10%, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in research and development expenses was due to a $1.4 million increase in expenses related to CDMOs and contracted R&D services related to testing of materials, a $1.6 million increase in facility-related expenses, and a $0.2 million increase in lab supplies and materials. This increase was partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in payroll and personnel expenses primarily related to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

Current report

General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.9 million, or 43% during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to a $1.8 million decrease in payroll and personnel expenses primarily related to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a $1.1 million decrease in facility-related expenses.

Current report

Research and development expenses increased by $1.4 million, or 3%, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was due to an increase of $0.7 million in expenses related to lab supplies and materials, a $0.7 million increase in professional fees, and a $1.1 million increase in facility-related expenses. The increase was partially offset bya$0.6 million decrease in payroll and personnel expenses primarily related to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.4 million decrease related to research and development consultants and other CDMO costs.

Current report

Other expense, net increased by $0.1 million, or 108%, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. This was due to losses from disposalsof property and equipment.

Previous report

ADI-270 is an investigational allogeneic gamma delta CAR T cell therapy targeting CD70 via the CD27-ligand for the treatment of RCC and with potential in other solid tumor and hematological malignancies indications. ADI-270 is designed to home to solid tumors, with a highly specific targeting moiety for CD70 and an armoring technology of transforming growth factor 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.

Previous report

In June 2024, we received FDA clearance for our IND application for ADI-270 in RCC. In July 2024, we also received FDA Fast Track Designation for ADI-270 for the potential treatment of patients with metastatic/advanced clear cell RCC (ccRCC). In February 2025, we reported that we have enrolled a total of three RCC patients, in our Phase 1 multicenter, open-label clinical trial to assess the safety and anti-tumor activity of ADI-270. We plan to share preliminary clinical data, with more than 6 patients with 3-month follow up, in the second half of 2025.

Previous report

On November 27, 2024, Adicet Therapeutics, Inc. (Adicet Therapeutics), a Delaware corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary, and Banc of California executed a payoff letter (the Payoff Letter) to repay in full all outstanding indebtedness and terminate all commitments and obligations, subject to certain exceptions, under that certain Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan Agreement), dated as of April 28, 2020, as amended. Under the Payoff Letter, we agreed to pay Banc of California approximately $10,000 in administrative fees and establish cash collateral accounts and execute pledge and security agreements to secure ancillary services provided by Banc of California. As of March 31, 2025, we have $2.9 million of restricted cash held in cash collateral accounts. No termination penalty was paid in connection with the Payoff Letter. For further discussion of the Loan Agreement and Payoff Letter, please see Note 8 to our financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Previous report

General and administrative expenses increased by less than $0.1 million, or 1%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024.

Previous report

In April 2024, the Term Loan availability under our Loan Agreement expired. The Non-Formula Ancillary Services, which shall not exceed $5.5 million in the aggregate, remained available. On November 27, 2024, we executed the Payoff Letter. Under the Payoff Letter, we agreed to pay Banc of California approximately $10,000 in administrative fees and establish cash collateral accounts and execute pledge and security agreements to secure ancillary services provided by Banc of California. As of March 31, 2025, we have $2.9 million of restricted cash held in cash collateral accounts.

Reworded paragraphs (15)

Previous wording

Our lead product candidate, ADI-001, a first-in-class allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapy expressing a CAR targeting CD20, is being developed for the potential treatment of autoimmune diseases. We are also pursuing ADI-270, an armored gamma delta CAR T cell product candidate designed to address multiple CD70+ solid tumor and hematological malignancies indications, with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) as the initial indication. Our pipeline has several additional internal gamma delta T cell therapy programs in discovery and preclinical development for both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. We expect to continue to develop product candidates in autoimmune diseases and cancer based on our gamma delta T cell platform using either previously validated antigens or those that we identify and target using CAR and other technology. We plan to file one new Investigational New Drug (IND) application every 12-18 months.

We plan to file one new Investigational New Drug (IND) application every 12-18 months.

Previous wording

In December 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared our IND application for ADI-001 in lupus nephritis (LN). In August 2024, we expanded our ADI-001 autoimmune clinical development program to include systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc) and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody associated vasculitis (AAV). In September 2024, we activated sites for our Phase 1 clinical trial of ADI-001 in autoimmune diseases and opened enrollment for patients with LN. In October 2024, we received clearance for our IND amendment to evaluate ADI-001 in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and stiff person syndrome (SPS) as part of our Phase 1 clinical trial in autoimmune diseases. We believe the favorable safety profile, cellular kinetics and B cell depletion in peripheral blood and secondary lymphoid tissue demonstrated with ADI-001 clinical experience to date is favorable for development in autoimmune diseases. We believe the potential market opportunity for ADI-001 in B cell mediated autoimmune diseases is substantial based on the prevalence in the U.S., EU5, China and Japan of greater than 1.7 million patients with autoimmune diseases where CAR-T cell therapy has demonstrated clinical proof-of-concept, including SLE (which includes LN), SSc, IIM and SPS. In June 2024, the FDA granted Fast Track Designation to ADI-001 for the potential treatment of relapsed/refractory class III or class IV LN. In February 2025, the FDA granted Fast Track Designation to ADI-001 for the potential treatment of adult patients with refractory SLE with extrarenal involvement and for SSc. In February 2025, we reported that we have dosed a total of three LN patients, in our Phase 1 clinical trial of ADI-001 in autoimmune diseases. In April 2025, we expanded enrollment to include patients with SLE for our Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating ADI-001 in autoimmune diseases. We expect to initiate enrollment for patients with SSc, IIM, SPS and AAV in the third quarter of 2025. We plan to report preliminary clinical data from this trial, with more than 6 patients with at least 3-month follow up, in the second half of 2025, subject to study site initiation and patient enrollment.
