Adicet Bio
Clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing off-the-shelf allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancer.
Notes
Adicet Bio (Nasdaq: ACET) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing allogeneic gamma delta T cell therapies for autoimmune diseases and cancer. The company's platform leverages "off-the-shelf" gamma delta T cells engineered with chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) to provide durable therapeutic activity.
Adicet's lead program, ADI-001, is a gamma delta CAR T cell therapy targeting CD20, being developed in a basket study across six autoimmune indications including lupus nephritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, stiff person syndrome, and ANCA-associated vasculitis.
In July 2025, the company underwent restructuring, discontinuing its ADI-270 oncology program for renal cell carcinoma to focus primarily on autoimmune diseases. This resulted in a 30% workforce reduction.
The company was formed in 2020 through a reverse merger between resTORbio and privately-held Adicet Bio, with Adicet shareholders owning 75% of the combined entity.
