IN8bio Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Recent Corporate Highlights
NEW YORK, NY – November 12, 2024 - IN8bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: INAB), a leading clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative gamma-delta T cell therapies for cancer, today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and recent corporate highlights.
“This past quarter marked a critical moment for IN8bio. We streamlined our operations and refined our pipeline to focus our resources. This strategic realignment enhances our capacity to deliver on the potential of gamma-delta T cell therapies, which are increasingly gaining recognition for their significant contributions to immunity.” said William Ho, CEO and co-founder of IN8bio. “INB-100 is our allogeneic therapy in development for the treatment of patients with leukemias. The FDA’s guidance received in a Type B meeting over the summer provides a clear path forward for a potential registrational trial. We’ve secured additional funding to advance INB-100 through the ongoing expansion cohort in the Phase 1 study that will provide additional data to further de-risk the program. With a leaner, more focused organization, we are advancing INB-100 and seeking opportunities to potentially partner assets in our pipeline.”
Corporate Highlights and Recent Developments
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
Research and Development (R&D) expenses: R&D expenses were $3.3 million, compared to $3.8 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease of $0.5 million was primarily due to a decrease of $0.6 million in personnel expenses, including salaries and stock-based compensation (SBC) as a result of our workforce reduction and a decrease of $0.1 million in facility-related and other expenses primarily due to decreases in R&D activities in connection with our pipeline prioritization, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in direct costs related to our clinical trials, primarily related to the INB-400 program.
As part of the Company's pipeline prioritization announced in September 2024, further clinical development on INB-400 has been suspended.
General and Administrative (G&A) expenses: G&A expenses were $2.7 million, compared to $3.4 million for the comparable prior year period. The decrease of $0.7 million was primarily due to a decrease in salaries and bonus expense in connection with our workforce reduction and cost savings related to directors' and officers' insurance premiums, partially offset by an increase in professional services.
Severance and related charges: Severance and related charges were $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to zero for the comparable prior year period. The increase of $1.1 million was due to one-time costs related to the September 2024 workforce reduction, including SBC expense of $0.8 million resulting from acceleration in full of outstanding unvested stock options at the separation date for the impacted employees, and $0.3 million related to severance payments.
Net loss: Net loss was $7.1 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted common share, compared to a net loss of $7.2 million, or $0.23 per basic and diluted common share, for the comparable prior year period.
Cash position: As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash of $4.0 million, compared to $10.2 million, as of June 30, 2024. Subsequently in October 2024 closed a Private Placement of $11.6 Million in net proceeds.

IN8bio may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in these forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking statements contained in this press release speak only as of the date hereof, and IN8bio expressly disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether because of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
