Gamida Cell Announces Data to Be Presented at 63rd ASH Annual Meeting

Gamida Cell Ltd. (Nasdaq: GMDA), an advanced cell therapy company committed to cures for cancer and other serious diseases, today announced four presentations at the 63rd American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting, which is being held in Atlanta, Georgia or virtually from December 11-14, 2021.

New data on omidubicel, a potentially life-saving treatment for patients with blood cancers in need of stem cell transplant, will be presented during an oral presentation showing that hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with omidubicel is associated with robust immune constitution and lower rates of severe infection compared to standard umbilical cord blood transplantation. Additionally, there will be three poster presentations and one e-publication highlighting additional clinical data from omidubicel and GDA-201, the company’s natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy in development for the treatment of hematologic and solid tumors with standard of care antibody therapies. Together the data that will be presented at ASH reflect the progress across Gamida Cell’s NAM-enabled pipeline of cell therapies being developed as potentially curative approaches for cancer patients in need of new and better therapeutic options.

Details about the ASH presentations are as follows:

About Omidubicel

Omidubicel is an advanced cell therapy under development as a potential life-saving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell (bone marrow) transplant for patients with hematologic malignancies (blood cancers), for which it has been granted Breakthrough Status by the FDA. Omidubicel is also being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 clinical study in patients with severe aplastic anemia (NCT03173937). The aplastic anemia investigational new drug application is currently filed with the FDA under the brand name CordIn®, which is the same investigational development candidate as omidubicel. For more information on clinical trials of omidubicel, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Omidubicel is an investigational therapy, and its safety and efficacy have not been established by the FDA or any other health authority.

About GDA-201

Gamida Cell applied the capabilities of its nicotinamide (NAM)-enabled cell expansion technology to develop GDA-201, an innate NK cell immunotherapy for the treatment of hematologic and solid tumors in combination with standard of care antibody therapies. GDA-201, the lead candidate in the NAM-enabled NK cell pipeline, has demonstrated promising initial clinical trial results, as reported at the 2020 American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting & Exposition1. GDA-201 addresses key limitations of NK cells by increasing the cytotoxicity and in vivo retention and proliferation in the bone marrow and lymphoid organs. Furthermore, GDA-201 improves antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and tumor targeting of NK cells. For more information about GDA-201, please visit https://www.gamida-cell.com.

GDA-201 is an investigational therapy, and its safety and efficacy have not been established by the FDA or any other health authority.

About Gamida Cell

Gamida Cell is pioneering a diverse immunotherapy pipeline of potentially curative cell therapies for patients with solid tumor and blood cancers and other serious blood diseases. We apply a proprietary expansion platform leveraging the properties of NAM to allogeneic cell sources including umbilical cord blood-derived cells and NK cells to create therapies with potential to redefine standards of care. These include omidubicel, an investigational product with potential as a life-saving alternative for patients in need of bone marrow transplant, and a line of modified and unmodified NAM-enabled NK cells targeted at solid tumor and hematological malignancies.
