Insights

This update from TC BioPharm demonstrates significant operational progress in their clinical trials and business development. The ACHIEVE UK trial has shown promising momentum with 8 patients dosed, including 2 completing all 4 doses. The expansion to Guy's and St. Thomas Hospital, a prestigious oncology center, validates the trial's credibility.

The company's manufacturing improvements are particularly noteworthy, with treatment capacity increasing from 52 to over 1,000 patients annually, alongside an 85% cost reduction per treatment. The $8 million capital raise strengthens their financial position for continued development.

The diversification into Mpox treatment and AI-driven donor screening shows strategic expansion beyond their core gamma-delta T cell platform. However, investors should note that the LOIs for acquisitions are non-binding and success in multiple programs will require significant resources for a company of this size.

The financial developments show improved operational efficiency with a 50% reduction in Q1 cash burn and an $8 million non-brokered capital raise. The manufacturing improvements represent significant value creation, potentially leading to better margins and scalability.

For a micro-cap biotech with a market cap under $1 million, the company is pursuing an ambitious strategy. The expansion into AI and potential acquisitions could create new revenue streams, but also increases execution risk. The non-dilutive funding is particularly positive given the company's size. The accelerated manufacturing timeline and cost reductions are important for long-term sustainability.

EDINBURGH, Scotland, Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TC BioPharm (Holdings) PLC ("TC BioPharm" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: TCBP), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing platform allogeneic gamma-delta T cell therapies for cancer and other indications, today provides an update to its shareholders and highlighted the Company's operational achievements thus far in 2024.

"The Company has made tremendous strides during the current year and bolstered its standing as a leading clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company," said Bryan Kobel, CEO of TC BioPharm. "The ACHIEVE UK trial has progressed with alacrity since we received MHRA acceptance of the increased dosing regimen; 8 patients have been dosed to date, including 2 patients that have received their 4th and final dose, all patients are in Cohort A bringing the total patients dosed to xx. We recently announced a new site opening, Guy's and St. Thomas Hospital which is one of the leading oncology clinics in the UK, this is expansion is related to increased scope and interest in the trial. Another site has opened since this announcement, and we are working towards opening two more sites in Q1 2025. Additionally, our compassionate use program has received physician attention in the UK and US, informing us of TCB008's potentially broad use case in patients suffering in various forms of cancer."

In addition to its existing therapeutic platform, TC BioPharm has signed two separate non-binding LOIs for acquisitions in cell therapy modalities outside the core of TCB008, announced its intention to begin proof of concept for preclinical trials for the treatment of Mpox with a leading infectious disease expert in the UK, and formed a strategic partnership with a leading University for AI initiative in the potentially multi-billion dollar field of donor screening for allogeneic cell therapies. In Q1 2024, cash burn was reduced by 50%, and TCBP aligned R&D efforts towards commercial applications. The benefits of these measures are now evident in Q4 2024, including Dr. Lauren Bor's team expects to implement manufacturing process improvements months ahead of the announced 24-month schedule.  Directly correlated to our achievements of our strategic initiatives and milestone successes, the Company added approximately $8 million in capital to the balance sheet in August in a non-brokered transaction with an investor group."

First Half 2024 Highlights

Second Half 2024 Highlights

Kobel concluded, "TCBP's objectives for 2024 were ambitious, yet our team has executed plans to achieve and exceed the requirements of each milestone by a significant margin. We expect to continue executing our strategic initiatives and operational plans for 2025, including driving Cohort B to a data readout, amending our Phase 1b FDA trial to a shortened timeline, and executing our acquisition strategy to expand our cell therapy offerings at TCB. The Company will continue this trend through the remainder of 2024 and beyond as we approach the collation of clinical data in H1 2025 for Cohort A."
