ADALTA: NEXT GENERATION CELL & PROTEIN THERAPEUTICS
“East to West” cellular immunotherapy strategy for growth: AdCella
AdAlta is a clinical
stage biotech:
• Growth powered by
“East to West”
cellular
immunotherapy
strategy
• Monetising other
valuable assets
In-license next generation clinical stage assets from Asia, establish
Western manufacturing and generate clinical data for on-licensing
Leverages our unique skills, regional ecosystem and business model to
create a leader in cellular immunotherapy for solid cancer patients
Bridges the gap between Asian innovation and Western biopharma
companies (and patients who can benefit from them)
Creates a series of capital efficient, short investment horizon assets
with frequent clinical milestones
Two other valuable pipeline assets for monetisation
First in class anti-fibrotic protein, AD-214, with strategic partners sought
for continued development into Phase II outside the company
World first pan-strain inhibitor of malaria parasites, WD-34, with
strategic partners sought to advance to proof of concept

3. High value out-licensing to
realise substantial value
creation:
Establish global manufacturing
network and on-license to
commercialisation partners.
AdAlta and partner share
increased value that partner
could not achieve on their own
1. Low cost in-license of

Why does it stand
out from the
competition?
• First armoured CAR-T against target X
• Anti-PD1 secretion addresses known tumour
resistance mechanism, bystander effect on all
immune cells
• Response and survival in advanced mesothelioma
superior to current second line (relapse) treatments
Advanced, solid cancer
patient: sustained response

• Rapid, virus free manufacturing reduces
manufacturing cost, patient turnaround times
What is its
development
status?
33 patients treated in 3 China clinical (IIT) studies
China Phase 1 IND (clinical trial) approval
US Orphan Drug Designation (regulatory, tax benefits)

Which cancers
could it address?
IP without lymphodepletion
• Multi-dosing without lymphodepletion – enables
more, higher dosing for better outcomes
• Systemic (IV) and local (IP) administration –
improved primary and metastatic tumour access
• Activates at high antigen density only – minimises

“EAST TO WEST” STRATEGY SUMMARY
AdCella has clear
aspirational growth targets
for its
“East to West” strategy
By end 2025
From 2026
Substantial value inflection potential by bringing “Eastern” cellular
immunotherapy innovations to “Western” regulated markets
Exclusive focus on T cell therapies for solid cancers targets less
competitive markets while utilising proven cellular immunotherapies
Combining Asia's innovative T cell therapies for solid cancers and
Australia's manufacturing advantages leverages unique regional benefits
Robust asset selection process yielding access to first/best in class,
highly differentiated products with clinical evidence of safety and efficacy
Three assets
secured
One asset into
clinical trials
each year
Capital light model offers quick ROI potential: a single clinical trial to
value inflection using external capital and AdAlta product management
Highly scalable to become industry leader through systematic product
licensing and pipeline expansion opportunities

Quality Asia cellular

barriers to reach West
“At JPM Week, biopharma
innovation from China and Asia
was the topic of conversation —
reshaping the global biopharma
landscape”4
Flow of innovation from Asia to the West is hampered by: lack of capital in Asia, lack of Western
experience and networks, opportunity cost for large biopharma to conduct due diligence, difficulty
transferring data and know-how, lack of patient diversity in clinical data and geopolitical challenges.1
