(“Instil”) (NASDAQ: TIL), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing tumor infiltrating lymphocyte, or TIL, therapies for the treatment of patients with cancer, today reported its third quarter 2022 financial results and provided a corporate update. Third Quarter 2022 Highlights and Anticipated Milestones: DELTA-1 manufacturing and regulatory update: As previously announced, enrollment in DELTA-1 was voluntarily paused following the observation of decreased rates of successful manufacturing of ITIL-168. Our ongoing investigation of the manufacturing failures identified a central source of contamination in the cell media. In conjunction with this pause, we are also evaluating opportunities to increase the robustness of our manufacturing process. In addition, in October 2022, we notified the FDA and other regulatory agencies that an unplanned review of the data for the initial patients that had been dosed with ITIL-168 in the DELTA-1 trial was conducted in order to review risk-benefit. This review was inconclusive because the response data were not mature. Subsequently, the Data Safety Monitoring Board’s prespecified review found no safety concerns. We plan to discuss next steps for the DELTA-1 trial with the FDA and other regulatory agencies, and after such discussions, or as a result of our ongoing investigation of our manufacturing process, we may be required to modify, delay or restart our ITIL-168 clinical development program. We plan to provide an update on our ITIL-168 clinical development program in the first quarter of 2023.
