Kiromic BioPharma Advances Deltacel-01 Into Expansion Phase Following Safety Monitoring Committee’s Unanimous Recommendation

Kiromic BioPharma, Inc. (OTCQB: KRBP) (“Kiromic” or the “Company”) announced today that the Deltacel-01 Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) has unanimously voted in favor of proceeding with the expansion phase of the Deltacel-01 clinical trial. This trial is evaluating Deltacel (KB-GDT-01), the Company’s allogeneic, off-the-shelf, Gamma Delta T-cell (GDT) therapy, in patients with stage 4 metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have failed to respond to standard therapies.

This recommendation by the SMC follows a favorable review of safety data from the first two cohorts, including recent results from the 40-day follow-up visit of the sixth patient in Deltacel-01, which demonstrated a positive safety and tolerability profile with no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed.

As part of the expansion phase of Deltacel-01, Kiromic will enroll approximately nine patients. Screening for new participants is expected to commence later this month. The expansion phase, or Part 2 of Deltacel-01, will further assess the effectiveness of Deltacel treatment.

“We are delighted to receive unanimous SMC approval to move forward with the expansion phase of the Deltacel-01 trial,” said Pietro Bersani, Chief Executive Officer of Kiromic BioPharma. “As we enter this next phase with more activated clinical sites, we expect a solid cadence of patient enrollment. We are optimistic about the potential to further evaluate Deltacel’s impact on patient outcomes and address critical unmet needs in solid tumors.”

About Deltacel-01

In Kiromic’s open-label Phase 1 clinical trial, titled “Phase 1 Trial Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of Gamma Delta T Cell Infusions in Combination With Low Dose Radiotherapy in Subjects With Stage 4 Metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer” (NCT06069570), patients with stage 4 NSCLC will receive two intravenous infusions of Deltacel with four courses of low-dose, localized radiation over a 10-day period. The primary objective of the Deltacel-01 trial is to evaluate safety, while secondary measurements include objective response, progression-free survival, overall survival, time to progression, time to treatment response and disease control rates.

About Deltacel

Deltacel (KB-GDT-01) is an investigational gamma delta T-cell (GDT) therapy currently in the Deltacel-01 Phase 1 trial for the treatment of stage 4 metastatic NSCLC. An allogeneic product consisting of unmodified, donor-derived gamma delta T cells, Deltacel is the leading candidate in Kiromic’s GDT platform. Deltacel is designed to exploit the natural potency of GDT cells to target solid cancers, with an initial clinical focus on NSCLC, which represents about 80% to 85% of all lung cancer cases. Data from two preclinical studies demonstrated Deltacel’s favorable safety and efficacy profile when it was combined with low-dose radiation.
