“We are optimistic the latest targeted treatment with Deltacel will control the second patient’s new lesion, which is suspected to have originated from a micro-metastasis not detected and therefore not targeted with radiation during the first course of treatment. This new protocol might be applied to all patients who received or will receive the Deltacel treatment and could be instrumental in controlling any new tumor lesions or progressing lesions,” said
“We continue to be encouraged by the favorable results of the Deltacel-01 trial, which reinforce our confidence in the potential of Deltacel to provide meaningful clinical benefits to patients in need. This confidence underscores the recent open-market purchases of common stock by several Kiromic directors and executive officers, as reported on Form 4 filings,” noted
“Proceeding with a single-use, single-patient protocol of Deltacel supports our commitment to advancing innovative therapies that address unmet clinical needs in unique ways, which include the possibility for retreatment,” he added. “We are also excited about the potential of expediting Deltacel clinical development through Fast Track designation.”

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.
