ADI-270: An Armored Allogeneic Anti-CD70 CAR γδ T cell Therapy Candidate Designed for Multiple Solid and Hematological Cancer Indications 27th ASGCT Annual Meeting 2024 Baltimore, MD Shon Green, PhD VP, Nonclinical Development


Slide 2

ADI-270: Designed to address multiple refractory cancers CAR utilizes CD27 as the binding domain and contains CD27 and 4-1BB costimulatory domains plus CD3ζ (3rd gen) Inactive form of TGFβ receptor II to mitigate the immunosuppressive effects of TGFβ within the tumor microenvironment Host vs graft armoring against alloreactive activated CD70+ T cells to increase persistence Combines endogenous γδ innate and adaptive mechanisms to recognize and kill malignant cells


Slide 3

High expression in multiple solid and heme malignancies Beyond ccRCC and NPC, multiple solid tumors are of interest when paired with CD70 screening Minimal expression on normal tissues (activated lymphocytes) Target has clinical safety experience CD70 is expressed on multiple solid and hematological cancers with limited expression in normal tissues Representative images from a normal tissue array stained for CD70 Adicet Bio internal data ccRCC= Clear cell renal cell carcinoma; NPC= Nasopharyngeal carcinoma Lung Liver Kidney Ovary Lymph Node Tonsil Spleen Small Intestine Solid tumors Hematological malignancies
