  • Adicet Bio Inc ACET has announced positive interim data from its dose-escalation Phase 1 study evaluating ADI-001 for B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. 
  • Adicet's AD-001 is an off-the-shelf cell therapy developed by engineering a CD20-targeting chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) onto a donor's gamma delta T cells.

  • At a low dose of 30 million cells, one patient posted a complete response, with another seeing a partial response, which Adicet described as a "near CR." One patient had progressive disease.
  • Of the six patients enrolled, two patients in the low-dose arm of the study dropped out before the 28-day mark.
  • Meanwhile, the study's one evaluable patient receiving a high dose of 100 million cells posted a complete response. 
  • There were no Grade 3 side effects or higher, including deaths, reported in the early data cut.
