Adicet Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: ACET) recently presented clinical biomarker data for its off-the-shelf CAR T cell therapy, ADI-001, at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2024. The data demonstrated robust tissue homing, significant CAR T cell activation, and complete CD19+ B cell depletion in secondary lymphoid tissue, highlighting the potential of ADI-001 in treating autoimmune diseases. This article explores the implications of these findings and the potential impact of ADI-001 on the autoimmune disease landscape.

ADI-001, an allogeneic gamma delta CAR T cell therapy targeting B-cells via an anti-CD20 CAR, has shown promising results in the Phase 1 GLEAN trial. The therapy's robust tissue homing and activation profile, indicated by in situ levels of granzyme B, support its potential for sustained B-cell depletion and reduced relapse rates in autoimmune diseases. Moreover, ADI-001's ability to achieve complete CD19+ B cell depletion in secondary lymphoid tissue, unlike CD20-targeted antibody therapies, could lead to more effective and durable responses in autoimmune diseases.

The superior drug exposure in secondary lymphoid tissue observed with ADI-001 could have significant long-term implications for patients. By effectively targeting and depleting B cells in these tissues, ADI-001 may help reduce autoantibody production, slowing disease progression and preventing organ damage. This is particularly relevant for indications like lupus nephritis (LN), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), where organ damage is a significant concern.

Adicet Bio is exploring the potential of ADI-001 in a basket study across six autoimmune indications, including LN, SLE, systemic sclerosis (SSc), idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), stiff person syndrome (SPS), and AAV. The company's commitment to advancing ADI-001 in a basket study highlights its focus on addressing the significant unmet medical needs of patients who urgently require innovative and effective new treatment options.
In conclusion, Adicet Bio's ADI-001 has demonstrated promising clinical biomarker data, including robust tissue homing, significant CAR T cell activation, and complete CD19+ B cell depletion in secondary lymphoid tissue. The therapy's potential for sustained B-cell depletion and reduced relapse rates, as well as its ability to target B cells within tissues, positions ADI-001 as a promising off-the-shelf cell therapy for autoimmune diseases. As the company continues to explore ADI-001's potential in a basket study across six indications, investors should keep a close eye on this innovative therapy and its potential to revolutionize the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
