For its experimental prula-cel program to treat lupus, the company said 50% of evaluable patients with lupus nephritis achieved a complete renal response at 12 months. About 54% of evaluable patients achieved remission under the DORIS definition over the same period. These results came from a group of 22 patients evaluable for efficacy, based on data available through August 28, 2026. Sixteen of them had lupus nephritis, while 6 had systemic lupus outside the kidneys. Follow-up in the group ranged from 6 to 21 months.
Chief Executive Chen Schor said the prula-cel data strengthened the company's confidence in its potential to achieve durable remissions for lupus patients. He added that the company looked forward to "providing a regulatory update and additional follow-up data at 12 months for approximately 22 patients" in the first quarter of 2027. This timeline puts patient follow-up and a regulatory update among the program's upcoming milestones. The company also expects to report Phase 1 data evaluating prula-cel in systemic sclerosis during the second quarter of 2027. It also plans to begin enrolling patients in the ADI-212 trial for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in the first quarter of 2027.
The announced development program extends beyond those trials: Adicet Bio plans to launch its first in vivo CAR-T program in the second half of 2027. That timeline is part of the company's announced schedule for upcoming programs. In the first quarter of 2027, the lupus program is expected to receive a regulatory update and additional follow-up data, Schor said. The company then expects systemic sclerosis data in the second quarter of the same year. Patient enrollment in the ADI-212 trial is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2027.
