(Nasdaq: INAB), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative gamma-delta T cell therapies, today reported financial results and business highlights for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 and recent corporate highlights. “IN8bio stands at the forefront of gamma-delta T cell innovation, pioneering transformative therapies for cancer patients with urgent unmet needs. Driven by our commitment to scientific excellence, we are advancing our mission of Cancer ZeroTM with elegant, cutting-edge approaches. Our clinical data showcases robust activity, delivering extended progression-free survival and a unique safety profile across challenging cancers to date. As the biopharmaceutical industry excitedly embraces novel T cell engagers, IN8bio is once again redefining the landscape with our innovative INB-600 TCE platform. The preclinical data unveiled at AACR represents a leap forward,” said William Ho, CEO & co-founder, IN8bio. “Harnessing our deep expertise, we’ve engineered a breakthrough technology that achieves picomolar potency, enhances immune surveillance, and potentially mitigates some of the safety risks associated with conventional CD3-targeted TCEs. We’re excited to advance this platform into both oncology and autoimmune indications and continue building a differentiated pipeline that promises to reshape the future of medicine.” Corporate Highlights and Recent DevelopmentsExpanded Pipeline with INB-600 Gamma-Delta T Cell Engager Platform Presented new preclinical data at the 2025 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting highlighting the INB-600 platform, including lead candidates INB-619 (targeting CD19) and INB-633 (targeting CD33).Preclinical studies demonstrated strong, antigen-specific cytotoxicity against leukemia cells and primary B cells with minimal inflammatory cytokine release, potentially addressing key limitations of conventional CD3-based TCEs.INB-600 TCE platform significantly expands both Vδ1+ and Vδ2+ subsets to address the reduced cell counts that have limited earlier γδ TCE therapies in cancer patients.Targeted B cell elimination (INB-619) highlights potential applications in B cell–driven autoimmune diseases as well as oncology indications. Demonstrated Additional Clinical Progress Across Gamma-Delta T Cell Therapy Pipeline Presented Positive Phase 1 data (February 2025) for INB-100 (Allogeneic Gamma-Delta T Cell Therapy for High-Risk AML and Leukemias) at the 2025 Transplantation & Cellular Therapy (TCT) Annual Meeting showing durable remissions, with 100% of treated AML patients remaining relapse-free with 20.1 month median follow-up as of January 17, 2025.Observed a favorable safety profile, with no cases of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or neurotoxicity (ICANs) reported to date.1-Year Survival Rates Exceeded Real-World Control Groups: The 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate across all leukemia patients is 90.9% and 1-year overall survival (OS) is 100%, outperforming comparative real-world historical control data obtained from both the Center for International Blood & Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) and from the University of Kansas Cancer Center. Participation at Immuno-Oncology 360° (IO360°) Conference William Ho, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of IN8bio, Co-Chaired Day 2 of the Immuno-Oncology 360° (IO360°) Conference on March 25, 2025, delivering opening remarks, leading the “State of the IO Market, Investments and Deals Plenary” session, and presenting on the promise of gamma-delta T cell engagers for oncology and autoimmune diseases, including INB-619. Upcoming Anticipated Pipeline Milestones and Events American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2025 Annual Meeting (May 30, 2025): Upcoming oral presentation: "INB-200: Phase 1 Study of Gene-Modified Autologous Gamma-Delta (γδ) T Cells in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) Patients Receiving Maintenance Temozolomide (TMZ)" will present updated clinical data from IN8bio’s Phase 1 trial of INB-200. The data will be featured in the Central Nervous System Tumors Oral Abstract Session. International Society for Cell & Gene Therapy (ISCT) 2025 Annual Meeting (May 9, 2025): Upcoming oral presentation: "From Donor to Therapy: How Robust Manufacturing Shapes the TCR Repertoire and Cytotoxic Power of Donor-Derived Allogeneic ex vivo Expanded and Activated γδ T Cell Products" will highlight the power of the company’s gamma-delta T cell manufacturing platform. The data will demonstrate the TCR diversity, genomic profiling and cytotoxic function of donor-derived clinical gamma-delta T cell therapies.

First Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights Research and Development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses were $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $4.9 million in the prior year. These amounts include non-cash items such as stock-based compensation (SBC) and depreciation. The change was primarily due to decreased but some remaining clinical trial-related activities for the INB-400 program and a decrease in personnel-related costs, in each case as a result of the Company’s pipeline prioritization announced in September 2024.General and administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses were $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $3.7 million for the comparable prior year period. These amounts include non-cash items such as SBC and depreciation. The change was primarily due to cost savings related to personnel-related costs, director and officer insurance premiums and professional services.Net loss: The company reported a net loss of $5.6 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with a net loss of $8.6 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted common share, for the comparable prior year period.Cash position: As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash of $11.9 million, compared with $13.0 million for the comparable prior year. Subsequently, in April 2025, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $1.9 million from the exercise of its Series A and Series B common stock warrants.
