Insights

This private placement of $12.4 million is a significant development for IN8bio, substantially extending their cash runway into 2026. The financing provides important support for advancing their Phase 1 trial of INB-100 for AML patients, allowing for expansion cohorts and potentially a parallel control group. This could accelerate the path to a registrational trial.

The deal structure, combining common stock, pre-funded warrants and Series C Warrants at a $0.395 per unit price, offers investors flexibility while minimizing immediate dilution. The $0.27 warrant exercise price suggests potential upside if the company's clinical progress meets expectations.

For a company with a market cap of just $12.2 million, this raise is transformative, more than doubling their available capital. However, the pricing at a significant discount to the current share price may put short-term pressure on the stock. Long-term, this financing could be pivotal in advancing IN8bio's gamma-delta T cell therapy platform, potentially positioning them as a leader in this innovative oncology approach.

The expansion of IN8bio's Phase 1 trial for INB-100 in AML patients is a critical development. Increasing the target enrollment to approximately 25 patients at the recommended Phase 2 dose will provide more robust data on efficacy and safety. The addition of a parallel control cohort is particularly noteworthy, as it will allow for a more rigorous comparison between INB-100 and standard haplotransplantation.

The timeline for completion of enrollment in H1 2025 and long-term follow-up results in late 2025 and 2026 aligns well with the extended cash runway. This data could be pivotal in determining the potential of gamma-delta T cell therapies in AML treatment. The focus on both relapse-free and overall survival as key metrics is crucial, as these are the gold standards for assessing efficacy in hematological malignancies.

If the expanded trial confirms the promising results seen so far, it could position INB-100 as a potential game-changer in AML treatment, where new therapeutic options are sorely needed.

  • Cash position now expected to fund current operating plan into 2026
  • Financing provides cash runway to advance the ongoing expansion cohorts in the Phase 1 trial of INB-100 for patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IN8bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: INAB), a leading clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on innovative gamma-delta T cell therapies, today announced that it has entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement with accredited investors for a private placement that is expected to result in gross proceeds of approximately $12.4 million to IN8bio, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The net proceeds from this financing are expected to fund the Company’s current operating plan into 2026.

The private placement was led by an existing healthcare-focused institutional investor and included a large mutual fund company and other existing and new institutional investors.

Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company will sell units comprised of an aggregate of 25,759,595 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, pre-funded warrants to purchase 5,646,853 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 31,406,448 shares of common stock (the “Series C Warrants”). The units will be sold at a purchase price of $0.395 per unit (or $0.3949 per unit with respect to units that include pre-funded warrants in lieu of common stock). The pre-funded warrants will have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Series C Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.27 per share.

IN8bio intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement to fund the clinical development of INB-100 and future product candidates and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The proceeds will support the continued enrollment of patients in the expansion cohort with a new target total enrollment of approximately 25 patients at the recommended Phase 2 dose. IN8bio expects to complete this additional enrollment in the first half of 2025, with long-term follow-up results anticipated in late 2025 and in 2026. To affirm the improvements in relapse free and overall survival observed to date and to further de-risk a future registrational randomized control trial, IN8bio will also seek to add a parallel control cohort to prospectively assess leukemia patients and enable comparison between patients receiving INB-100 to those who only receive standard haplotransplantation.

The closing of the private placement is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to occur on or about October 4, 2024.

Newbridge Securities Corporation acted as the sole placement agent for the private placement.
