Current report
On June 11, 2026, we announced that 85 patients with r/r B-NHL were treated in the ANTLER phase 1 clinical trial. As of the March 6, 2026, data cutoff date, 27 2L LBCL patients received a single dose of vispa-cel manufactured from a donor younger than 30 years old with at least two matched human leukocyte antigen (“HLA”) alleles between patient and donor. This 27-patient subgroup best represents the treatment regimen and patient population for ANTLER-3. The results for this subgroup included an 82% overall response rate (“ORR”), a 67% complete response (“CR”) rate, and 17.1-month median PFS. Vispa-cel is generally well tolerated. In the 27-patient subgroup, there were no reports of graft-versus-host disease (“GvHD”) or grade 3 or higher immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (“ICANS”), and there was one (4%) grade 3 or higher cytokine release syndrome (“CRS”). Other adverse events of special interest included six (22%) grade 3 or higher infections, five (21%; 5/24) grade 3 or higher prolonged cytopenias, and one (4%) grade 3 or higher immune effector cell-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-like syndrome (“IEC-HS”). In the 27-patient subgroup, one vispa-cel-related death occurred due to IEC-HS and one possibly related death occurred due to progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.

Previous report
By leveraging our allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy clinical data set of more than 140 patients dosed across multiple clinical trials, we identified key factors that we believe are linked to successful patient outcomes, and we have incorporated these learnings to develop an optimized vispa-cel profile. Two of the key attributes of the optimized vispa-cel profile are donor age (young donors drive enhanced outcomes relative to older donors) and partial human leukocyte antigen (“HLA”) matching (matching two or more alleles correlates with enhanced patient outcomes). As of the September 2, 2025, 84 patients had been treated in our ANTLER phase 1 clinical trial, of which 35 CD19-naïve LBCL patients received vispa-cel with the optimized profile. As of the September 29, 2025 efficacy data cutoff, the results for the 35-patient optimized profile cohort included an 86% overall response rate (“ORR”), a 63% complete response (“CR”) rate, and 53% progression-free survival (“PFS”) at 12 months. Median follow up for the optimized profile cohort was 11.8 months.
Previous report
Vispa-cel is generally well tolerated. As of the September 2, 2025, safety data cutoff date, treatment emergent adverse events (“TEAEs”) at any grade in 25% or greater of all 84 patients who had received vispa-cel were thrombocytopenia (62%), cytokine release syndrome (“CRS”) (55%), anemia (52%), neutropenia (39%), hypokalemia (26%), and leukopenia (26%). In the optimized profile cohort (N=35), there were no cases of graft versus host disease (“GvHD”) or grade 3 or greater immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (“ICANS”), 1% of patients experienced grade 3 or greater CRS, and 28% (out of 80 patients) experienced prolonged cytopenias.
Previous report
CB-011 had a manageable safety profile across all dose levels and LD regimens (N=48), with no cases of GvHD, immune effector cell-associated enterocolitis (“IEC-EC”), parkinsonism, or cranial nerve palsies as of the September 24, 2025 data cutoff date. TEAEs in 25% or greater of all patients treated with CB-011 following the selected LD regimen (N=35) were as follows: neutropenia (80%), anemia (60%), thrombocytopenia (49%), infections (49%), dizziness (31%), CRS (31%), fatigue (31%), leukopenia (29%), decreased appetite (29%), constipation (26%), and pyrexia (26%). Notable adverse events in the recommend dose for expansion (“RDE”) cohort as of the data cutoff date included one CB-011-related grade 5 immune effector cell-associated hematotoxicity (“ICAHT”) on day 90, one grade 5 pneumonia not related to CB-011 on day 50, and one grade 4 CB-011-related Guillain-Barré Syndrome on day 129, which is resolving. In the cohort evaluating the 300x106 viable CAR-T cell dose level following the selected LD regimen, there was one grade 5 respiratory syncytial virus not related to CB-011 on day 73. Prophylactic measures for cytopenias and infections and early intervention for certain immune effector cell disorders have been successfully implemented in our clinical protocol.

We reached alignment with the FDA regarding our vispa-cel pivotal phase 3 clinical trial design following interactions to date with the agency enabled by the RMAT designation for vispa-cel.We plan to evaluate vispa-cel in the ANTLER-3 trial, a randomized, controlled pivotal phase 3 clinical trial in approximately 250 2L LBCL CD19-naïve patients who are not eligible for transplant and who are not candidates for, or who are not eligible for, autologous CAR-T cell therapy based on access challenges or medical criteria, including the need for urgent therapy. Patients randomized to the study arm would receive a single dose of vispa-cel at the RP2D following LD and patients randomized to the comparator arm would be treated with the investigator’s choice of standard-of-care regimen, such as polatuzumab vedotin (“Pola”), bendamustine, rituximab (”R”)(“Pola-BR”); R, gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin (“R-GemOx”); Pola-R-GemOx (“Pola-RGO”); or tafasitamab and lenalidomide, with crossover to the vispa-cel arm permitted after progressive disease. The primary endpoint would be PFS. Secondary endpoints would be ORR, overall survival (“OS”), event-free survival (“EFS”), duration of response (“DoR”), duration of CR, quality of life (“QoL”), and safety. Clinical trial sites would include both academic and sophisticated community centers in the United States and globally.
Current wording
To our knowledge, vispa-cel is the first clinical-stage allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy with a genome-edited knockout of the PDCD1 gene to prevent PD-1 expression on the CAR-T cell surface. On May 7, 2026, we announced that we reached alignment with the FDA on the design of ANTLER-3, our planned pivotal phase 3 clinical trial for vispa-cel. ANTLER-3 will be a randomized, controlled clinical trial expected to enroll approximately 250 CD19-naïve second-line (“2L”) large B cell lymphoma (“LBCL”) patients who are not eligible for transplant and not candidates or not eligible for autologous CAR-T cell therapy based on access challenges or medical criteria, including the urgent need for therapy. Patients in the investigational arm will receive a single dose of 80x106 viable CAR-T cells following a lymphodepletion (“LD”) regimen of cyclophosphamide at 60 mg/kg/day for two days and fludarabine at 25 mg/m²/day for five days. Patients in the comparator arm will be treated with an investigator’s choice of a standard-of-care regimen: rituximab (“R”), gemcitabine, and oxaliplatin (“R-GemOx”); polatuzumab vedotin (“Pola”) and R-GemOx (“Pola-RGO”); or tafasitamab and lenalidomide. Crossover to the vispa-cel arm will be permitted after progressive disease. The primary endpoint will be progression-free survival (“PFS”). Clinical trial sites will include both academic and sophisticated community centers in the United States and globally.
Previous wording
To our knowledge, CB-011 is the first allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy incorporating an immune cloaking approach that includes both the removal of the endogenous beta-2 microglobulin (“B2M”) protein and insertion of a beta-2-microglobulin–human-leukocyte-antigen-E–peptide transgene (“B2M–HLA-E”). On November 3, 2025, we announced results from the dose escalation portion of our ongoing CaMMouflage phase 1 trial evaluating CB-011 in r/r MM patients. Forty-eight fourth-line or later (“4L+”) patients were enrolled in the dose escalation portion of the trial; enrollment in dose escalation is completed. Patients had been treated with three or more prior lines of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-CD38 antibody. Prior treatment with an autologous CAR-T cell therapy was not permitted and no BCMA-targeted therapy was permitted within the prior three months. We evaluated two different LD regimens and multiple CAR-T cell dose levels. Thirty-five patients were treated with an LD regimen of 500 mg/m 2 cyclophosphamide and 30 mg/m 2 fludarabine daily for three days (“the selected LD regimen”). A single dose of CB-011 preceded by the selected LD regimen resulted in responses at all dose levels evaluated (150x106 viable CAR-T cells, N=6; 300x106 viable CAR-T cells, N=13; 450x106 viable CAR-T cells, N=13; and 800x106 viable CAR-T cells, N=3).

Forty-eight fourth-line or later (“4L+”) patients were enrolled in the dose escalation portion of our CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial, which evaluated two different LD regimens and multiple CAR-T cell dose levels. The eligibility criteria required that patients had been treated with three or more prior lines of therapy including a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug, and an anti-CD38 antibody. Patients who received treatment with a BCMA-targeted therapy, but not an autologous CAR-T cell therapy, more than three months prior to enrollment in dose escalation were permitted. The CB-011 recommended dose for expansion (“RDE”) is 450x106 viable CAR-T cells following an LD regimen of 500 mg/m 2 cyclophosphamide and 30 mg/m 2 fludarabine daily for three days. In the dose escalation portion of our CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial, 12 patients were treated with the RDE.
Previous wording
We also announced on November 3, 2025, that we have selected the 450x106 viable CAR-T cell dose with the selected LD regimen as our RDE. As of the September 24, 2025, data cutoff date, the 12-patient, BCMA-naïve cohort treated with the selected LD regimen and a single dose of 450x106 viable CAR-T cells had the following outcomes: an ORR of 92%, a CR/stringent CR (“sCR”) rate of 75%, and 91% of evaluable patients achieved minimal residual disease (“MRD”) negativity (≤10-5). Seven of the 12 patients remained on study as of the data cutoff date in very good partial response (“VGPR”) or better six months or longer following receipt of a single dose of CB-011. The median follow up for these 12 patients was 8.3 months. We initiated the dose expansion portion of the CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial in late 2025, which includes enrollment of BCMA-naive and BCMA-exposed patient cohorts.
Current wording
On June 11, 2026, we announced longer follow-up data from the dose escalation portion of our CaMMouflage clinical trial. As of the May 26, 2026, efficacy data cutoff date, the 12-patient, BCMA-naïve cohort treated with the RDE had the following outcomes: an ORR of 92%, a complete response or stringent complete response (“≥CR”) rate of 83%, and 91% of evaluable patients achieved minimal residual disease (“MRD”) negativity (≤10-5). Fifty percent of patients were in ≥CR at 15 months. The median follow-up for these 12 patients was 17.7 months. As of the April 20, 2026, safety data cutoff date, CB-011 showed a manageable safety profile across all patients with no cases of GvHD, immune effector cell-associated enterocolitis (“IEC-EC”), parkinsonism, or cranial nerve palsies (N=48). In all patients treated with the selected LD regimen (N=35), there was one CB-011-related death due to immune effector cell-associated hematotoxicity and three unrelated deaths due to pneumonia, respiratory syncytial virus, and respiratory acidosis, respectively. In the 12-patient BCMA-naïve RDE cohort, there were no reports of grade 3 or higher ICANS and one (8%) grade 3 or higher CRS. Other adverse events of special interest in the RDE cohort included three (25%) grade 3 or higher infections, one (8%) grade 3 or higher IEC-HS, and five (42%; 5/12) grade 3 or higher prolonged cytopenias. We initiated the dose expansion portion of the CaMMouflage phase 1 clinical trial in late 2025, which is ongoing and includes enrollment of BCMA-naive and BCMA-exposed patient cohorts.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with therapeutic product development, we may never achieve profitability and, unless and until we are able to develop and commercialize our CAR-T cell therapy product candidates, we will need to continue to raise additional capital. Until we can generate significant revenue from product sales, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through equity offerings (including our at-the-market equity offering program), debt financings, new collaborations, structured or other non-dilutive financings, licensing arrangements, and/or other sources. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in obtaining an adequate level of financing to support our business plans as needed on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise additional funds through new collaborations or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our intellectual property, future revenue streams, or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. Disruptions and volatility in the global and domestic capital markets resulting from heightened inflation, tariffs, capital market volatility, interest rate and currency rate fluctuations, artificial intelligence (“AI”), political and geopolitical tensions, government agency changes, any potential economic slowdown or recession, including trade wars or civil or political unrest (such as the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia, conflicts in the Middle East, including the recent hostilities involving Iran, tension between China and Taiwan, geopolitical tensions in Europe, South America, and elsewhere) may increase the cost of capital and limit our ability to access capital. If we are unable to raise capital as and when needed or on attractive terms, we may have to significantly delay, reduce, or discontinue the development and commercialization of our CAR-T cell therapy product candidates or scale back or terminate our pursuit of new in-licenses and acquisitions.

To our knowledge, vispa-cel is the first clinical-stage allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy with a genome-edited knockout of the PDCD1 gene to prevent PD-1 expression on the CAR-T cell surface. On November 3, 2025, we announced that, as of the September 2, 2025, safety data cutoff date, 84 patients with r/r B-NHL had been enrolled in the ANTLER phase 1 clinical trial. We selected a single dose of 80x10⁶ viable CAR-T cells following lymphodepletion (“LD”) with 60 mg/kg/day for two days of cyclophosphamide and 25 mg/m 2/day for five days of fludarabine as the recommend phase 2 dose (“RP2D”).
